Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of LNG storage tanks, in particular to a BOG recovery device for an LNG storage tank. Background Art

[0002] Since the daily evaporation rate of LNG in cryogenic storage tanks and cryogenic tank trucks is about 0.3%, this part of the evaporating gas (low temperature) is referred to as BOG flash steam, which increases the pressure of the gas phase space of the storage tank. In order to ensure the safety of the storage tank and the needs of loading and unloading vehicles, a storage tank safety pressure relief valve is set in the design (which can automatically discharge BOG according to the pressure during storage in the storage tank). The generated BOG gas passes through the vent valve to the BOG heater for heating, and then enters the BOG storage tank for storage. Since the cryogenic liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank (about -160℃) is invaded by the heat of the external environment, part of the mechanical energy of the submerged pump in the LNG tank is converted into heat energy when it is running, which will cause the LNG in the tank to gasify and produce flash steam, which is BOG.

[0003] In the current LNG storage tank, during the recovery and storage of BOG, the gas temperature is too high, which may cause burns and damage to the inner liner of the tank. Therefore, the gas is cooled before entering the tank. However, impurity particles occasionally enter the tank through the air inlet. Utility Model Content
