DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The application will be further described in conjunction with the drawings.

[0019] A closed ship liquid ammonia fuel filling station, the design of the filling station of the liquid ammonia fuel ship needs to meet the actual fuel filling needs in the operation of the ship, effectively reduce the risk in the filling process and the safety of the operator.

[0020] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 The filling station adopts an integrated closed room design, the main body of the room is a steel structure, one side of the room is provided with an air-tight door, and the bottom of the room is provided with a plurality of necessary support columns, which facilitates the welding and installation of the room.

[0021] The inside of the filling station room mainly includes a filling manifold. The filling manifold should at least include one liquid-phase filling pipeline for filling liquid ammonia fuel and one gas-phase filling pipeline for filling evaporated ammonia gas in the fuel tank. The number and actual pipe diameter of the filling manifold can be increased according to actual filling requirements. A remote control cut-off valve is arranged on each filling pipeline. When a leakage or other accident occurs, the valve can be automatically cut off by remote control. The filling manifold is provided with a nitrogen purging interface for removing residual ammonia liquid in the pipeline after filling. The end of the filling pipeline is provided with a standard interface flange on the outside wall of the room, which is connected to the shore-based filling interface. The other end of the filling pipeline is located at the bottom of the room and is provided with a standard interface flange, which is connected to the filling pipeline installed at the end of the ship. An anti-skid grid is arranged at the bottom of the room to close the maintenance space for the operator to enter the room, so that the operator can easily enter the room to maintain and maintain the related equipment.

[0022] During filling operation, only the standard interface flange on the outside wall of the room is connected to the hose of the shore-based or filling ship through the quick coupling flange to perform the filling operation, without the need to enter the inside of the room. The risk sources during the filling process are all located in the closed room, which effectively reduces the filling risk and the safety of the operator.

[0023] A water collecting well and a discharge interface can be arranged at the bottom of the room, and a fire-fighting water spraying pipeline and an ammonia gas detection sensor are arranged at the top of the room. The water collecting well in the room is used to collect the leaked liquid. When a leakage or fire accident occurs, an alarm signal is sent through the sensor, and the fire-fighting water spraying pipeline is actuated, which can effectively prevent the accident from spreading. An independent ventilation fan is arranged outside the room to avoid the accumulation of toxic ammonia gas in the room and to prevent secondary accidents.
