TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of offshore ship design and construction, and particularly relates to a secondary insulation layer sewage discharge pipeline of an LNG ship. BACKGROUND
[0002] An LNG transport ship is a ship specially used for transporting liquefied natural gas, is a "super refrigeration vehicle on sea" carrying LNG at minus 163 degrees Celsius, and is known as the "crown jewel" of the shipbuilding industry. Due to the particularity of the LNG transport ship, the safety and sealing requirements are extremely high, and therefore, the design and construction of the pipeline system and equipment have higher requirements. The isolation air chamber is a partition chamber between the front and rear liquid tanks of the LNG ship, and the main function thereof is to prevent fire, explosion and leakage. The secondary insulation layer sewage well of the secondary insulation layer of the LNG ship is arranged in the isolation air chamber, and a discharge pipeline needs to be arranged to realize the communication between the secondary insulation layer and the secondary insulation layer.
[0003] In order to effectively solve the problems of the narrow space of the sewage well, the inability to realize double-sided welding of the access piece, the easy corrosion of the pipeline after a long time, and the like, and to improve the welding quality, improve the installation precision of the low-temperature pipeline, reduce corrosion and avoid leakage, multiple schemes and multiple angles are used to improve the safety and effectiveness of the discharge of the secondary insulation layer sewage well and the isolation air chamber sewage well. SUMMARY
[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a secondary insulation layer sewage discharge pipeline of an LNG ship, and the technical scheme adopted is as follows:
[0005] A secondary insulation layer sewage discharge pipeline of an LNG ship, wherein a secondary insulation layer sewage well is arranged below an isolation air chamber, a secondary insulation layer discharge pipe is connected to the secondary insulation layer at one end and penetrates a side wall of the secondary insulation layer sewage well into the secondary insulation layer sewage well at the other end.
[0006] An opening with a diameter of 820mm is opened on the side wall of the secondary insulation layer sewage well. The opening has a 35° bevel with the bevel angle facing outward. The passage sleeve is welded to the bevel. The passage sleeve consists of a protective pipe located in the center and a cover plate outside the protective pipe. The connection between the cover plate and the protective pipe has a 35° bevel with the bevel angle facing outward.
[0007] During installation, the protective tube and the cryogenic tube are welded together in the prefabrication stage, and the cladding plate and the protective tube are nailed together in the prefabrication stage. First, the cladding plate and the secondary insulation layer of the sewage well sidewall are aligned accurately. After positioning, the cladding plate and the secondary insulation layer of the sewage well sidewall are welded first, and then the cladding plate and the protective tube are welded. Both of these welds are welded using the single-sided welding and double-sided forming method.
[0008] The discharge pipe adopts an upward suction type. The end of the discharge pipe penetrates the top plate of the secondary insulation layer sewage well and extends downward into the secondary insulation layer sewage well. A right-angle check valve is installed at the corner of the discharge pipe. The check valve is connected to the pneumatic diaphragm pump unit through a straight-through shut-off valve.
[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned LNG ship insulated wastewater discharge pipeline, a current of 120A is used for welding when the protective pipe is welded to the cladding plate and when the web plate is welded to the side wall of the wastewater well.
[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned LNG ship insulation layer sewage discharge pipeline, the diameter of the cladding opening is 3mm larger than the diameter of the protective pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned LNG ship secondary insulation layer sewage discharge pipe, a filter screen is installed at the end of the secondary insulation layer discharge pipe located inside the sewage well, and the end is 400mm away from the side wall of the sewage well.
[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned LNG ship insulation layer sewage discharge pipeline, the filter screen is fixed by a flange clamp.
[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned LNG ship secondary insulation layer sewage discharge pipeline, the end of the discharge pipe is 30±5mm from the bottom of the secondary insulation layer sewage well.
[0014] Furthermore, in the aforementioned LNG ship secondary insulation layer sewage discharge pipeline, a hatch cover is provided at the connection between the secondary insulation layer discharge pipe and the secondary insulation layer.
[0015] Furthermore, in the aforementioned LNG ship insulation layer sewage discharge pipeline, the other end of the pneumatic diaphragm pump unit is connected to a hose via a pipeline, hose connector valve, and hose.
[0016] This invention employs an embedded butt-welded type of cryogenic venting pipe at the through-hole component, allowing for single-sided welding only on the outside of the sludge well, achieving full penetration and double-sided forming, eliminating the need for personnel to enter the sludge well for welding. Furthermore, the butt-welded cladding plate is studded to the protective pipe during the prefabrication stage, facilitating adjustments for accumulated errors from manufacturing and construction, and resolving issues of low installation precision. The cryogenic venting pipe, connected to the through-hole cladding plate and with butt-welded elbows, effectively prevents leakage of liquid or evaporated gas from the cargo tank, avoiding potential hazards. The 1.5 times longer butt-welded elbows further ensure smooth discharge of cryogenically released substances. The 400mm distance between the end of the cryogenic venting pipe and the sludge well wall effectively solves the problem of inconvenient maintenance and servicing, while also facilitating the installation of a leak test device at the end. This invention also solves the problem of liquid accumulation inside the pipe, further facilitating later maintenance and servicing, improving design quality, ensuring the pipeline system can be maintained without hot work throughout its entire lifecycle, enhancing safety, and increasing the operational value of the ship.
