Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to ammonia fuel BOG recovery and reuse technology in the technical field of ship fuel supply systems, and specifically to a ship fuel supply system and an ammonia BOG recovery and reuse system and method thereof, which can be applied to ship ammonia fuel tanks using liquid ammonia as fuel. Background Art
[0002] With the international community's continued concern about greenhouse gas emissions, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set decarbonization targets for the shipping industry: using 2018 as a baseline, global maritime CO2 emissions are expected to decrease by 40% by 2030, 70% by 2050, and reach zero emissions by the end of the century. New technologies are being developed for the shipping industry, using clean energy ammonia as a marine fuel. Typically, ammonia fuel tanks on ships are insulated. While insulation can largely block heat conduction, over time, the liquid ammonia stored in the tanks will evaporate. The resulting boil-off gas (BOG) accumulates at the top of the tank, causing pressure to build up. If the accumulated BOG is not promptly addressed, the safety valve at the top of the tank will trip, potentially rupturing the tank structure.
[0003] Ammonia is a colorless gas with a strong, pungent odor. Its density is lower than that of air, but it is highly soluble in water. Excessive inhalation poses a threat to human life. Currently, marine ammonia fuel is stored in a liquid state at -33°C in ammonia fuel tanks, where it evaporates and produces ammonia. Existing marine ammonia fuel supply systems lack ammonia recovery and treatment technology, resulting in safety hazards in ammonia fuel tanks due to the generation of ammonia BOG (ammonia buildup), and the volatilization of ammonia also poses a risk to the environment. Currently, no descriptions or reports of technologies similar to the present invention have been found, nor has any similar information been collected domestically or internationally.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] An embodiment of the present invention provides an ammonia BOG recovery and reuse system for a marine fuel supply system. The system collects and compresses ammonia BOG in an ammonia fuel tank, converts it into liquid ammonia through reliquefaction technology, and then pumps it to a high-pressure pump for pressurization. The ammonia is then directly supplied as ammonia fuel to an ammonia fuel engine for combustion, thereby improving the utilization rate of the ammonia fuel.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the ammonia BOG recovery and reuse system for a marine fuel supply system provided in this embodiment may include a buffer tank 10, a BOG compressor 11, a BOG condenser 12, a gas-liquid separation tank 13 and a controller 14 connected in sequence; wherein:

[0045] The BOG compressor 11 is used to pressurize the ammonia BOG;
[0046] The BOG condenser 12 is used to perform heat exchange treatment on the pressurized ammonia BOG to obtain liquid ammonia containing ammonia BOG that meets the temperature requirements of the ammonia engine;
[0047] The gas-liquid separation tank 13 is used to separate the liquid ammonia containing ammonia BOG from gas and liquid, and to liquefy the ammonia BOG in the gas phase space in the tank again, thereby completing the conversion of the ammonia BOG and realizing the recycling and reuse of the ammonia BOG.
[0048] The control valve 14 is used to control the liquid level of the liquid ammonia in the gas-liquid separation tank 13 and to transport the recovered liquid ammonia to the supply system for reuse.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, a pressure sensor 15 is provided in the ammonia fuel tank 1 for monitoring the pressure in the ammonia fuel tank 1 ; the BOG compressor 11 is started when the pressure in the ammonia fuel tank 1 reaches a set value.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the outlet pressure of the BOG compressor 11 is 18-25 bar.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the BOG condenser 12 uses seawater or refrigerant to perform heat exchange treatment on the pressurized ammonia BOG.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the outlet temperature of the BOG condenser 12 is 25-45°C.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the gas-liquid separation tank 13 liquefies the BOG gas in the gas phase space in the tank again, including:
[0054] By pressurizing the ammonia BOG at the top of the tank, the ammonia BOG in the gas phase space in the tank is pressurized and liquefied, completing the second liquefaction.
[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the ammonia BOG at the top of the tank is pressurized so that the pressure in the gas-liquid separation tank 13 is controlled to be about 27 bar. One embodiment of the present invention provides an ammonia BOG recovery and reuse method for a marine fuel supply system, which may include:
[0056] S1, obtaining ammonia BOG generated by ammonia fuel tank 1;
[0057] S2, pressurizing ammonia BOG;
[0058] S3, performing heat exchange treatment on the pressurized ammonia BOG to obtain liquid ammonia containing ammonia BOG that meets the temperature requirements of the ammonia engine;
[0059] S4, performing gas-liquid separation on the liquid ammonia containing ammonia BOG, completing the conversion of the ammonia BOG, and realizing the recovery and reuse of the ammonia BOG.
[0060] It should be noted that the steps in the method provided by the present invention can be implemented using corresponding devices in the system, and those skilled in the art can refer to the technical solution of the system to implement the step flow of the method, that is, the embodiments in the system can be understood as preferred examples of implementing the method, which will not be elaborated here.
[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the ammonia BOG recovery and reuse system for a marine fuel supply system provided in this embodiment may include: a buffer tank 10 , a BOG compressor 11 , a BOG condenser 12 , a gas-liquid separation tank 13 , and a control valve 14 .
[0062] Liquid ammonia, used as fuel, is stored in an ammonia fuel tank 1 at normal pressure and low temperature. When the pressure in the tank is too high, the ammonia BOG is output and stored in a buffer tank 10. The BOG compressor 11 starts to operate, compressing the ammonia BOG. The ammonia BOG then enters the BOG condenser 12 for cooling and is converted into liquid ammonia. When the temperature reaches the main engine's feed requirement, the ammonia enters the gas-liquid separator 13 for separation. Finally, the liquid ammonia is transported to the high-pressure pump 4 in the ammonia fuel supply, participating in the entire ammonia fuel supply cycle.
[0063] The technical solutions provided by the above embodiments of the present invention are further described below.
[0064] The ammonia BOG recovery and reuse system provided in the above embodiment of the present invention has the following specific implementation scheme:
[0065] During the storage or supply process of ammonia fuel, ammonia (BOG) volatilized from the ammonia fuel tank 1 will continuously accumulate at the top of the tank, causing the pressure inside the tank to increase. When the pressure sensor 15 inside the ammonia fuel tank 1 reaches the set value, the BOG compressor 11 starts to compress the ammonia BOG gas inside the tank. After multi-stage compression by the BOG compressor 11, the ammonia BOG gas reaches a pressure of 18 to 25 bar, consistent with the pressure of the low-pressure pump 2. The ammonia BOG gas then enters the BOG condenser 12 for heat exchange with seawater, converting it into liquid ammonia. The outlet temperature meets the main engine's inlet requirement of 25 to 45°C. The ammonia then enters the gas-liquid separator 13 for liquid separation. When the liquid level in the gas-liquid separator 13 reaches the set value, the control valve 14 opens, and the liquid ammonia stored in the lower part of the gas-liquid separator is transported to the high-pressure pump 4 in the ammonia fuel supply for pressurization. Ultimately, the liquid ammonia that meets the design pressure and design temperature is delivered to the engine 8 for combustion.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the design pressure of BOG compressor 11 matches that of low-pressure pump 2 and can be activated using both automatic and manual control. The BOG in the ammonia fuel tank is compressed and reliquefied before being transported to the ammonia fuel supply for use, fundamentally improving fuel utilization.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the BOG condenser 12 uses seawater, commonly used on ships, for heat exchange. A temperature sensor at the condenser outlet regulates the flow rate of the seawater inlet and outlet to ensure that the cooled seawater meets the main engine's required temperature. Seawater is the most commonly used heat exchange medium on ships, saving energy on board.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, a pressure of 27 bar is applied to the gas phase space of the gas-liquid separation tank 13 to liquefy the BOG gas in the gas phase space of the tank again, thereby reducing the harm of ammonia emission into the atmosphere and reducing environmental pollution.
[0069] Since the main engine's required pressure is 85 bar, if the liquefied ammonia is directly delivered to the main engine for combustion, the compressor needs to pressurize it to 85 bar. In some embodiments of the present invention, the liquid ammonia in the gas-liquid separator 13 is delivered to the high-pressure pump for circulation, and only needs to be pressurized to 27 bar. This high-pressure pump-assisted pressure boosting technology can reduce the design pressure of the BOG compressor and save the cost of using a high-pressure BOG compressor.
[0070] One embodiment of the present invention provides a marine fuel supply system.

[0073] The ammonia fuel supply system is arranged between the ammonia fuel tank 1 and the ammonia engine 8, and is connected to the ammonia BOG recovery and reuse system. It is used to mix the liquid ammonia output from the ammonia fuel tank 1 with the liquid ammonia converted by the ammonia BOG recovery and reuse system, and then perform pressurization and filtration treatment, and finally output ammonia fuel that meets the pressure and temperature requirements of the ammonia engine to the ammonia engine 8.
[0074] In a preferred embodiment, the ammonia fuel supply system includes: a low-pressure pump 2, a heat exchanger 3, a high-pressure pump 4 and a filter 5 arranged in sequence from the ammonia fuel tank 1 to the ammonia engine 8; wherein:

[0080] - A main valve 6 and / or FVT valve block 7 disposed between the filter 5 and the ammonia engine 8; the main valve 6 is used for emergency shutoff of the ammonia fuel engine; the FVT valve block 7 is used to regulate the flow and pressure of the engine inlet and to perform purging before and after engine startup;

[0082] In a preferred embodiment, the main valve 6 is disposed at the front end of the FVT valve group unit 7 .
[0083] The ammonia fuel supply system and its ammonia BOG recovery and reuse system and method provided by the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention enable the ammonia BOG in the ammonia fuel tank to be compressed and liquefied before being directly transported into the ammonia fuel supply system to participate in the production of ammonia fuel for supply to the ammonia engine for combustion, thereby improving fuel utilization. The ammonia BOG in the ammonia fuel tank, after being compressed and liquefied, is then transported to the high-pressure pump, thereby reducing the design pressure of the BOG compressor 11 and the cost of using a high-pressure BOG compressor. The BOG condenser can use seawater or refrigerant for heat exchange with the ammonia BOG, ensuring that the cooled temperature precisely meets the requirements of the main engine, thereby saving energy consumption on the ship.
