강화되는 환경규제에 대응하기 위해서 세계 각국이 수소 경제로의 전환을 본격화하고 있으며, 이에 중장기적으로 수소의 국가간 물동량도 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 국가간 수소의 거래는 수출국의 신재생 에너지 자원과 수입국의 수소 사용 형태, 기술 성숙도 등을 고려하여 암모니아, 액화수소, LOHC 등의 형태로 이루어질 것이나, 어느 한 가지 형태로만 거래되지는 않을 것이다. 액화수소 대비 암모니아와 LOHC의 해상운송은 상대적으로 성숙한 기술임에 본 글에서는 향후 액화수소 운반선 개발을 위하여 필요한 세부 기술들의 식별 및 다양한 기술적 대안들을 통해 가능한 설계안을 확보하면서, 그에 따른 기술적 타당성을 분석하였다.

Korea is showing its appearance as a leading country in the hydrogen economy by establishing policies for revitalizing the hydrogen economy and enacting the 「Hydrogen Economy Promotion and Hydrogen Safety Management Act」 for the first time in the world. In addition, domestic hydrogen facilities are using hydrogen energy safely through world-class safety management compared to overseas advanced countries. However, in order to enhance the safety of the rapidly diversifying hydrogen industry and rapid technology development, such as the introduction of liquefied hydrogen, some institutional improvements are needed. In this regard, this paper intends to analyze the results of safety inspections on 13 representative facilities and prepare safety improvement plans to establish preemptive safety measures.

In this study, computer simulation and optimization works have been performed for a refrigeration cycle using ammonia as a refrigerant and also how much power was saved when the liquefied natural gas cold heat is replaced for the refrigeration cycle. PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.0 from Schneider electric company was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model was selected for the modeling of the refrigeration cycle and LNG cold heat utilization process.

Comparative studies between single- and two-stage refrigeration cycle using propane as a refrigerant have been performed for a vapor recompression refrigeration cycle. PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.2 from AVEVA company was used, and the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling and optimization of the refrigeration cycle for the reliquefaction of BOG coming out from the LPG storage tank. In two-stage refrigeraton cycle, 24.8% of compressor power was reduced compared to that of single-stage refrigeration cycle through the optimization works.

In this paper, cold heat price contained in the 1 ton/h of LNG has been evaluated using PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.2 from Aveva company when LNG is used to liquefy several refrigerants instead of using vapor recompression refrigeration cycle. Normal butane, R134a, NH3, R22, propane and propylene refrigerants were selected for the modeling of refrigeration cycle. It was concluded that LNG cold heat price was inversely proportional to the refrigerant supply temperature, even though LNG supply flow rate is not varied according to the refrigerant supply temperature.

The purpose of this analytic study is to design and examine an efficient hydrogen liquefaction cycle by using a pre-cooler. The liquefaction cycle is primarily comprised of a pre-cooler and a refrigerator. The fed hydrogen gas is cooled down from ambient temperature (300 K) to the pre-cooling coolant temperature (either 77 K or 120 K approximately) through the pre-cooler. There are two pre-cooling methods: a single pre-coolant pre-cooler and a cascade pre-cooler which uses two levels of pre-coolants. After heat exchanging with the pre-cooler, the hydrogen gas is further cooled and finally liquefied through the refrigerator. The working fluids of the potential pre-cooling cycle are selected as liquid nitrogen and liquefied natural gas. A commercial software Aspen HYSYS is utilized to perform the numerical simulation of the proposed liquefaction cycle. Efficiency is compared with respect to the various conditions of the heat exchanging part of the pre-cooler. The analysis results show that the cascade method is more efficient, and the heat exchanging part of the pre-coolers should have specific UA ratios to maximize both spatial and energy efficiencies. This paper presents the quantitative performance of the pre-cooler in the hydrogen liquefaction cycle in detail, which shall be useful for designing an energy-efficient liquefaction system.

수소액화를 위한 직접냉각장치를 개발하고, 이의 성능특성을 시험하였다. 직접냉각장치는 액화용기, 복사쉴드, 저온조와 GM냉동기 등으로 구성하였다. 개발된 액화장치의 cool-down 및 warm-up특성이 상세하게 규명되었다. 본 냉각장치에서 냉각이 시작된지 약 45분 후, 액화용기내의 수소가 액화되기 시작함을 확인하였다. 또한 동일한 실험을 기체헬륨에 대하여 수행하였으며, 기체헬륨은 주어진 작동조건에서 액화되지 않으므로 수소의 경우와는 다른 cool-down 및 warm-up 특성을 보였다. 충전된 기체의 자연대류현상의 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 액화용기내에 진공상태를 유지하면서 시험하였다. 이때 진공상태에서의 액화용기의 냉각시간은 현저히 증가함을 보였다.

The concept of hydrogen enriched LPG fuelled engine can be essentially characterized as low emissions and reduction of backfire for hydrogen engine. The purpose of study is obtaining low-emission and high-efficiency in LPG engine with hydrogen enrichment. In order to determine the ideal compression ratio, a variable compression ratio single cylinder engine was developed. The objective of this paper is to clarify the effects of hydrogen enriched LPG fuelled engine on exhaust emission, thermal efficiency and performance. The compression ratio of 8 was selected to minimize abnormal combustion. To maintain equal heating value, the amount of LPG was decreased, and hydrogen was gradually added. In a similar manner, the relative air-fuel ratio was increased from 0.8 to 1.3 in increment of 0.1, and the ignition timing was controlled to be at MBT each case.

Polyurethane foam insulation required for storing and transporting cryogenic liquefied gas is already widely used as a thermal insulation material for commercial LNG carriers and onshore due to its stable price and high insulation performance. These polyurethane foams are reported to have different mechanical performance depending on the density, and the density parameter is determined depending on the amount of the blowing agent. In this study, density-dependent polyurethane foam was fabricated by adjusting the amount of blowing agent. The mechanical properties of polyurethane foam were analyzed in the room temperature and cryogenic temperature range of -163℃ at 1.5 mm/min, which is a quasi-static load range, and the cells were observed through microstructure analysis. The characteristics of linear elasticity, plateau, and densification, which are quasi-static mechanical behaviors of polyurethane foam, were shown, and the correlation between density and mechanical properties in a cryogenic environment was confirmed. The correlation between mechanical behavior and cell size was also analyzed through SEM morphology analysis. Polyurethane foam with a density of 180 kg/m³ had a density about twice as high as that of a polyurethane foam with a density of 96 kg/m³, but yield strength was about 51% higher and cell size was about 9.5% smaller.
