Each pressure vessel has two ports. The detachable short pipe 8-2 can be a rigid or flexible pipe, used to connect the two ports of the high-pressure storage tank 8-1 to the injection branch pipe L4 and the discharge branch pipe L5, respectively.

The number of high-pressure storage tanks 8-1 and the valve volume meet the amount of carbon dioxide that the ship is designed to capture. When the ship docks regularly, some of the high-pressure storage tanks 8-1 are hoisted to shore by removing some of the detachable short pipes 8-2, and at the same time, a corresponding number of empty high-pressure storage tanks 8-1 are replaced. A certain amount of high-pressure storage tanks 8-1 containing liquid carbon dioxide is always maintained on the ship to meet the carbon dioxide requirements of the ship's high-pressure carbon dioxide fire extinguishing system design.
[0043] In one embodiment, the medium-pressure liquid carbon dioxide storage system II includes a second compressor 11, a second cooler 12, a refrigeration unit 13, and a liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 15.

The liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 15 is connected to a fourth pipeline L6. One end of the fourth pipeline L6 opens at the bottom of the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 15, and the other end can be connected to multiple application pipelines.
[0046] In one embodiment, the medium-pressure liquid carbon dioxide storage system II is connected in parallel with a second application pipeline C2, a third application pipeline C3, a fourth application pipeline C4, and a fifth application pipeline C5.

[0047] This invention also provides a ship, including a hull 20 and any of the above embodiments of a marine carbon dioxide capture and storage system, the marine carbon dioxide capture and storage system being disposed on the hull 20.
[0048] In the second embodiment, a certain type of bulk carrier can be designed and equipped with an exhaust carbon capture system 1 and a high-pressure liquid carbon dioxide collection system I. The carbon dioxide captured by the exhaust carbon capture system 1 is compressed to 58 bar by the first compressor 4, and then cooled and liquefied by the first cooler 5 under isobaric pressure and stored in the high-pressure storage tank 8-1. The high-pressure stored liquid carbon dioxide can be used as a ship fire extinguishing agent and connected to the ship's high-pressure carbon dioxide fire extinguishing system through the first application pipeline C1.
[0049] In the third embodiment, a container ship is provided, which is designed to be equipped with an exhaust carbon capture system 1 and a medium-pressure liquid carbon dioxide collection system II. The carbon dioxide captured by the exhaust carbon capture system 1 is compressed to 20 bar by a second compressor 11, and then isobarically cooled and liquefied by a second cooler 12 before being stored in a liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 15. For the utilization of the captured carbon dioxide, a second application pipeline C2 and a third application pipeline C3 can be selected and configured, taking into account the characteristics of the container ship carrying refrigerated containers. When the ship is in a specific port, the pressure difference between the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 15 and the shore receiving device can be used to transport the captured liquid carbon dioxide to the shore receiving facility through the second application pipeline C2. At the same time, considering the characteristics of the container ship carrying refrigerated containers, the captured liquid carbon dioxide can be used as a refrigerant and transported to the refrigerated containers through the third application pipeline C3.
[0050] In the fourth embodiment, a roll-on / roll-off (Ro-Ro) ship is provided, which is designed to be equipped with an exhaust carbon capture system 1 and a medium-pressure liquid carbon dioxide collection system II. The carbon dioxide captured by the exhaust carbon capture system 1 is compressed to 20 bar by a second compressor 11, and then isobarically cooled and liquefied by a second cooler 12 before being stored in a liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 15. For the utilization of the captured carbon dioxide, taking into account the large space of the Ro-Ro ship's garage area, a second application pipeline C2 and a fourth application pipeline C4 can be selected. The operation of unloading captured carbon dioxide at a specific port can refer to the operation in the third embodiment. Since the liquid carbon dioxide in the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 15 is also used as the extinguishing agent of the ship's low-pressure fire extinguishing system, it can be connected to the ship's low-pressure fire extinguishing system through the fourth application pipeline C4. Therefore, when unloading captured carbon dioxide at a specific port, the amount required by the low-pressure fire extinguishing system should be reserved.
[0051] In the fifth embodiment, an oil tanker or product tanker is provided, which is equipped with an exhaust carbon capture system 1 and a medium-pressure liquid carbon dioxide collection system II. The carbon dioxide captured by the exhaust carbon capture system 1 is compressed to 20 bar by the second compressor 11, and then isobarically cooled and liquefied by the second cooler 12 before being stored in the liquid carbon dioxide storage tank 15. For the utilization of the captured carbon dioxide, the second application pipeline C2 and the fifth application pipeline C5 can be selected according to the operating characteristics of the oil tanker. The operation of capturing carbon dioxide when the ship unloads at a specific port can refer to the operation in the third embodiment. Since the oil tanker needs to use inert gas to fill the gas space in the cargo tank during navigation and unloading, the medium-pressure liquid carbon dioxide is heated, vaporized and depressurized by the first heater 17 through the fifth application pipeline C5 and then filled into the upper gas space in the cargo tank. Therefore, when capturing carbon dioxide when unloading at a specific port, the amount of inert gas required for the ship's operation should be reserved.
[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
