Gas supply system of LNG dual-fuel main engine and LNG dual-fuel power ship TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of ship technology, in particular to a gas supply system of an LNG dual-fuel main engine and an LNG dual-fuel power ship with the gas supply system of the LNG dual-fuel main engine. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the gradual improvement of marine environmental protection awareness, the emission requirements for ships are becoming more and more stringent. The International Maritime Organization has promulgated a series of anti-pollution conventions related to ship emissions, and has formulated detailed emission standards for nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides and other pollutants. According to the provisions of Annex VI of MARPOL 73 / 78 promulgated by the International Maritime Organization: After 2020, for marine low-speed engines, the nitrogen oxide emission limit is 14.4g / kW•h, and the sulfur oxide emission limit is 0.5%m / m in the non-control area; in the ECA area (emission control area), the nitrogen oxide emission limit is 3.4g / kW•h, and the sulfur oxide emission limit is 0.1%m / m. For carbon oxide emissions, the IMO International Maritime Organization has also formulated the latest carbon emission EEDI standard, which puts forward higher requirements for ship design, ship supporting equipment, new energy technology application, etc. The conventional fuel-powered ship emits exhaust gas containing a large amount of carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, etc., which will cause serious greenhouse gas effect, photochemical smog, acid rain and other pollution, endangering the global climate and human health.
[0003] LNG ships, as the most popular clean energy for ships at present, have been widely promoted and applied, but LNG ships still emit carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can only be treated by an exhaust gas aftertreatment system.

[0026] Specifically, the submerged pump 12 is arranged in the LNG storage tank 11, the outlet of the submerged pump 12 is communicated with the LNG inlet of the LNG heat exchanger 13, the NG outlet of the LNG heat exchanger 13 is communicated with the inlet of the buffer tank 14, and the outlet of the buffer tank 14 is communicated with the first gas inlet 21 of the dual-fuel main engine 20.

The oxygen outlet of the electrolytic tank 33 is communicated with the inlet of the oxygen storage tank 35, and the outlet of the oxygen storage tank 35 is communicated with the second gas inlet 22 of the dual-fuel main engine 20.

The hydrogen in the hydrogen storage tank 34 is mixed with the NG at the outlet of the gas supply main valve 15 and then enters the dual-fuel main engine 20 for mixed combustion, effectively improving the thermal efficiency value of the dual-fuel main engine 20.

In this embodiment, the flue gas outlet of the flue gas heat exchanger 41 is communicated to the pipeline between the outlet of the oxygen regulating valve 37 and the second air inlet 22 of the dual-fuel main engine 20. The flue gas heat exchanger 41 is used to cool part of the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the flue gas outlet 23 of the dual-fuel main engine 20, and the cooled flue gas is mixed with the oxygen discharged from the oxygen storage tank 35 and enters the dual-fuel main engine 20. By replacing the air in the oxygen storage tank 35 with oxygen to enter the dual-fuel main engine 20 for combustion, the dual-fuel main engine 20 uses the rich burn combustion technology and the exhaust gas recirculation technology to treat the exhaust gas of the dual-fuel main engine 20 into high-concentration carbon dioxide.

[0034] Further, the flue gas outlet 23 of the dual-fuel main engine 20 is further communicated to the carbon dioxide capture unit 60. The carbon dioxide capture unit 60 can use the membrane separation method to capture high-concentration carbon dioxide, and then compress and store the carbon dioxide, thereby effectively reducing the energy consumption of the carbon dioxide capture process and reducing the emission of greenhouse gases.
[0035] The cold and heat energy circulation unit 50 is mainly used for recycling and reusing the cold energy in the LNG heat exchanger 13 to cool the gas supply system of the LNG dual-fuel main engine.

[0036] The expansion water tank 51 and the pipeline of the cold and heat energy circulation unit 50 are provided with a circulation medium, for example, water glycol solution. The circulation medium concentrates the heat energy of the pure water heat exchanger 32 and the flue gas heat exchanger 41 to the LNG heat exchanger 13 for heat exchange with LNG, effectively recycling and utilizing the cold energy of LNG.
[0037] Further, the cold and heat energy circulation unit 50 further comprises a pure water heat exchange adjusting valve 53 and a flue gas heat exchange adjusting valve 54, the pure water heat exchange adjusting valve 53 is arranged in the first branch 501, and the flue gas heat exchange adjusting valve 54 is arranged in the second branch 502. By adjusting the valve opening of the pure water heat exchange adjusting valve 53 and the flue gas heat exchange adjusting valve 54, the amount of circulation medium entering the pure water heat exchanger 32 and the flue gas heat exchanger 41 can be controlled, and then the temperature of the pure water outlet end of the pure water heat exchanger 32 and the flue gas outlet end of the flue gas heat exchanger 41 can be controlled.
[0038] Further, the cold and heat energy circulation unit 50 further comprises a low-temperature cylinder liner water unit 55 and a low-temperature cylinder liner water heat exchanger 56. The low-temperature cylinder liner water unit 21 is part of the main engine cooling system of the ship, and the water temperature is maintained at 36℃. The outlet of the low-temperature cylinder liner water unit 55 is connected to the inlet of the low-temperature cylinder liner water heat exchanger 56, and the outlet of the low-temperature cylinder liner water heat exchanger 56 is connected to the inlet of the low-temperature cylinder liner water unit 55. The outlet of the circulation pump 52 is also connected to the circulation medium inlet of the low-temperature cylinder liner water heat exchanger 56 through a third branch 503, and the circulation medium outlet of the low-temperature cylinder liner water heat exchanger 56 is connected to the circulation medium inlet of the LNG heat exchanger 13. Since there is more cold energy in the LNG heat exchanger 13, there is still a surplus after heat exchange in the pure water heat exchanger 32 and the flue gas heat exchanger 41. By coupling the low-temperature cylinder liner water heat exchanger 56 to the cold and heat energy circulation unit 50, the cold and heat energy circulation unit 50 is part of the main engine cooling system, and the utilization rate of the cold energy in the LNG heat exchanger 13 is further improved.
[0039] The LNG dual-fuel main engine's gas supply system of this invention couples the hydrogen electrolysis unit 30, the exhaust gas recirculation unit 40, and the thermal energy recirculation unit 50 with the LNG supply unit 10. This provides both natural gas and hydrogen produced from hydrogen electrolysis to the dual-fuel main engine 20, employing mixed combustion technology to improve the thermal efficiency of the dual-fuel main engine 20. Simultaneously, oxygen produced from hydrogen electrolysis replaces air in the dual-fuel main engine 20 for combustion. Using enriched combustion technology and exhaust gas recirculation technology, the flue gas from the dual-fuel main engine 20 is treated into a high concentration of carbon dioxide, effectively reducing energy consumption in the subsequent carbon dioxide capture process. Furthermore, during the operation of the LNG dual-fuel main engine's gas supply system, the thermal energy recirculation unit 50 uses the LNG cold energy to cool the hydrogen electrolysis unit 30 and the exhaust gas recirculation unit 40, achieving the recovery and utilization of LNG cold energy.
