Abstract: A boil-off gas treatment system includes: a first compressor receiving boil-off gas generated from liquefied gas stored in a storage tank of a ship and compressing the boil-off gas; a second compressor compressing boil-off gas received from the storage tank; a heat exchanger cooling the boil-off gas compressed by the first compressor or the second compressor; and a refrigerant circulation line for circulating a refrigerant to the heat exchanger. The first compressor is a multistage compressor including a plurality of compressors and compressing the boil-off gas to a fuel supply pressure required for a propulsion engine. The second compressor compresses the boil-off gas to a fuel supply pressure required for a power generation engine which is lower than the propulsion engine. The boil-off gas compressed by part of the first compressor is supplied to the heat exchanger to be cooled or is supplied to the power generation engine.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for reliquefaction of boil-off gas of a ship and a system and method for treating off-gas of a reliquefaction apparatus. The boil-off gas reliquefaction system includes: a compressor compressing boil-off gas generated from liquefied gas stored in an on-board storage tank; a heat exchanger cooling the boil-off gas compressed in the compressor; a refrigerant circulation line in which a refrigerant supplied to the heat exchanger circulates; a temperature raising line extending from the storage tank to the compressor; and a heater provided to the temperature raising line, wherein the heater heats the boil-off gas to a suitable input temperature of the compressor.

Abstract: A refrigerant charging system includes: a reliquefaction system reliquefying boil-off gas generated in a liquefied gas storage tank by compressing the boil-off gas and subjecting the compressed boil-off gas to heat exchange with refrigerant supplied to a heat exchanger while circulating along a refrigerant circulation line; a buffer tank storing utility N2 to be supplied to the ship; a booster compressor receiving the utility N2 from the buffer tank, compressing the received N2, and supplying the compressed N2 to the refrigerant circulation line; and a first load-up line along which the N2 is supplied from the buffer tank to the refrigerant circulation line without passing through the booster compressor. Upon initial charging in a non-operation state of the reliquefaction system, the refrigerant circulation line is charged with refrigerant by supplying the N2 from by a pressure differential between the refrigerant circulation line and the buffer tank.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a fuel supply system for ships and a fuel supply method using the same. The fuel supply method includes: 1) supplying an excess amount of liquefied gas as fuel to an incompressible fluid-fueled engine (E); 2) cooling unconsumed fuel discharged from the engine (E) through heat exchange with liquefied gas discharged from a storage tank (T); 3) returning the unconsumed fuel discharged from the engine (E) and having been cooled through heat exchange in step 2) to the storage tank (T); and 4) supplying the liquefied gas discharged from the storage tank (T) and having been used as refrigerant for heat exchange in step 2) to the engine (E). The fuel supply method can prevent cavitation in the engine (E) by supplying the excess amount of liquefied gas sufficient to accommodate variation in load of the engine (E) as fuel to the engine (E).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of generating high-purity hydrogen from waste plastic without producing carbon dioxide. In the method of generating hydrogen according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, reactants include hydroxide, and thus, the amount and purity of the generated hydrogen increases, a reaction temperature suitable for reaching an appropriate hydrogen production rate is lowered, and the amount of generated carbon dioxide is significantly decreased.

Abstract: A refrigerant cycle pressure control system includes: a heat exchanger cooling boil-off gas received from a storage tank; a refrigerant cycle including a refrigerant circulation line, a refrigerant compressor, and an expander; an inventory tank storing the refrigerant to be charged to the refrigerant cycle; a refrigerant supply line connecting the inventory tank to an upstream side of the refrigerant compressor to replenish the refrigerant cycle with the refrigerant; a refrigerant discharge line connecting a downstream side of the refrigerant compressor to the inventory tank to discharge the refrigerant from the refrigerant cycle to the inventory tank; and a pressure regulation line branched off of the refrigerant discharge line. The refrigerant cycle is depressurized by discharging the refrigerant from the refrigerant cycle through the refrigerant discharge line or the pressure regulation line.
