Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of low-temperature cold storage for fishing vessels, in particular to a low-temperature cold storage and ice-making system for fishing vessels based on LNG cold energy and engine waste heat. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of global energy conservation and emissions reduction, the search for clean alternative energy sources is a future trend in the shipping industry. LNG, with its clean, environmentally friendly, safe, readily available, and technologically mature characteristics, has become the most viable and readily achievable alternative energy source for ships under current technological and market conditions. Building LNG-powered ships is no longer a challenge given current technology. LNG, primarily composed of methane, maintains a temperature below -160°C in its storage tanks, while the inlet air temperature of the power unit is 20°C, a temperature difference of over 180°C. LNG is vaporized in a vaporizer, releasing a significant amount of cold energy. However, this cold energy is currently rarely utilized by ships, resulting in significant waste.

[0003] The exhaust temperature of LNG-powered fishing boat engines can reach as high as around 700°C, and the heat contained in it accounts for about 30-35% of the heat generated by LNG combustion. If this heat is not utilized and directly discharged into the atmosphere, it will cause great waste.

[0004] Currently, shipboard cold storage and air conditioning systems primarily utilize vapor compression refrigeration. The advantages of vapor compression refrigeration include compact structure, high COP, and relatively mature technology. However, the electricity consumed by vapor compression refrigeration is provided by the engine, resulting in low overall energy efficiency and high system energy consumption.

The present invention proposes a low-temperature cold storage and ice-making system for fishing vessels that utilizes the cold energy of LNG and the waste heat of the engine. The cold energy released when LNG vaporizes is used to cool the low-temperature cold storage and living area.
