Embodiment Construction

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, as shown, gaseous fuel from a storage tank 1 of a liquefied gas carrier, such as a methane tanker, is supplied to an energy generating unit of the carrier. Of course, multiple storage tanks such as the storage tank 1 can also be used to supply gaseous fuel.

[0023] Such energy generating means, generally designated 2, may include a diesel engine driving an alternator to generate electrical energy for the electrical equipment on board and for propulsion of the ship, but alternatively, the energy generating means may be comprised of A common unit in boilers that produce steam that is supplied to a steam turbine to drive a propeller.

[0024] The storage tank 1 contains the liquefied gas 3 at approximately -163° C., and the (vapour) gas phase in the space 4 above the liquid surface 5 . The pressure of the storage tank is close to atmospheric pressure. The plant comprises a compressor 6 whose inlet draws gaseous phase gas from the space 4 and whose...

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for supplying gas fuel to an energy generating device of a liquefied gas carrier ship. The device comprises at least one storage tank containing liquefied gas and gas phase gas in a space above the liquid phase, the device also includes: a compressor adapted to draw gas phase gas from said storage tank via a supply pipe, the the outlet of the compressor connected to a main for supplying said energy generating means; the pump for supplying said liquefied gas to the inlet of an evaporator whose outlet is connected to said main; and automatic control means , the automatic control device and the regulating device for regulating the compressor, the measuring device for measuring the flow rate of the gas-phase gas in the supply pipe, and the measuring device for measuring the pressure of the gas-phase gas in the space of the storage tank connected. The automatic control means comprise means for processing the information provided by said measuring means in order to control the regulation of said compressor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an arrangement for supplying gaseous fuel to an energy production unit of a liquefied gas carrier, the fuel being taken from the contents of at least one storage tank inside the ship. Background technique [0002] In known methane tankers, the energy generating means comprise a steam generating boiler feeding a turbine for driving the propeller. Steam generating boilers use shipboard gas as fuel. In the insulated storage tank, the methane is in liquid form and the gas phase above the liquid level has a pressure of approximately 1 to 3 bar. [0003] The fuel supplied to the boiler is firstly from the gas phase above the liquid which is sucked in directly above this surface by an axial compressor supplying the boiler's burner at the required pressure, the second is drawn from the storage tank and delivered Liquid to an evaporator; the gas expands to the inlet pressure of the compressor on leaving the evaporator, i.e. about 1 ba...
