Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of shipbuilding, in particular to a temperature and humidity control method for a liquid cargo containment system of an LNG carrier during construction. BACKGROUND

[0002] An LNG carrier is a specialized ship used for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG), which requires the cargo containment system (CCS) to withstand extremely low temperatures (about -162°C). The CCS, typically composed of multiple layers of insulation and barriers, is critical for the safe storage and transportation of LNG. The construction quality of the CCS is crucial for the operational safety and economic efficiency of the LNG carrier. During the construction of the CCS, the control of the temperature and humidity of the construction space (i.e., the area inside or around the containment system where work is being done) is one of the key steps. Since the containment system isolates the low-temperature area of the cargo hold from the outside environment, changes in the temperature and humidity of the external environment, especially the moisture in the air, can easily condense on the surface of the structure below the dew point temperature. Moisture condensation can damage the performance of the insulation material, corrode the structural components, affect subsequent construction processes (such as bonding and welding), and even pose a potential threat to the long-term reliability of the CCS structure.

[0003] Traditional temperature and humidity control during CCS construction usually relies on experience or relatively broad control parameters (e.g., maintaining the temperature in the cabin within a certain range, and the relative humidity below a certain threshold, such as 20-30°C, RH<70%). This method fails to consider the actual temperature changes on the surface of the structure and does not achieve precise control of the dew point temperature. The temperature of the structure surface is affected by various factors, such as the ambient temperature, the temperature of the ship body, temporary heating / cooling measures, and the progress of construction, which can be much lower than the temperature of the ambient air. Simply controlling the temperature and humidity of the air within a fixed or relatively wide range cannot ensure that the dew point temperature is always lower than the temperature of the structure surface, thus failing to effectively prevent condensation. In addition, the traditional control method often relies on manual monitoring and adjustment, lacking real-time and accuracy, especially under complex external environmental changes (winter, summer, day-night temperature difference, extreme weather), making it difficult to respond effectively.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art lacks an effective control system and method that can dynamically adjust the temperature and humidity in real time and accurately according to the actual temperature changes of the construction space environment and the structure surface, and ensure that the dew point temperature is always lower than the safety margin of the structure surface.

[0005] The patent application with the publication number CN104456854A discloses an air wet temperature control method and system for a swimming room in a ship, which comprises the following steps: measuring a dew point temperature value; performing a refrigeration dehumidification treatment when the dew point temperature value is greater than a preset dew point temperature value; stopping the refrigeration dehumidification treatment when the dew point temperature value after the refrigeration dehumidification treatment is equal to the preset dew point temperature value; measuring an ambient temperature value; performing a heating treatment when the ambient temperature value is less than a preset ambient temperature value, and performing a cooling treatment when the ambient temperature value is greater than the preset ambient temperature value.

[0006] The prior art uses a single dehumidification heat pump system to control the dew point temperature in the ship by refrigeration dehumidification, controls the temperature in the ship by the condensation heat of the dehumidification heat pump system and auxiliary heating of an external hot / cold water source air pipe type radiator, does not involve outdoor fresh air, does not control the relative humidity of the air outlet of the dehumidification heat pump system, and does not provide a detailed structure of the accurate temperature and humidity control system, specific operation and use method, and cannot realize accurate cabin temperature and humidity field control in a fresh air environment.
