  • Publication number: 20150300301
    Abstract: Provided is a liquefied gas treatment system for a vessel, which includes a cargo tank storing liquefied natural gas (LNG), and an engine using the LNG as fuel. The liquefied gas treatment system includes: a compressor line configured to compress boil-off gas (BOG) generated in the cargo tank by a compressor and supply the compressed BOG to the engine as fuel; a high pressure pump line configured to compress the LNG stored in the cargo tank by a pump and supply the compressed LNG to the engine as fuel; and a heat exchanger configured to liquefy a part of BOG, which is compressed by the compressor, by exchanging heat with BOG that is discharged from the cargo tank and transferred to the compressor.

  • Publication number: 20150285189
    Abstract: A hybrid fuel supply system for an engine of a vessel is provided. The hybrid fuel supply system for the engine of the vessel includes: a compression device configured to compress boil-off gas (BOG) generated from liquefied natural gas (LNG) stored in an LNG cargo tank; a high pressure pump configured to compress LNG supplied from the LNG cargo tank; a vaporizer configured to vaporize the LNG compressed by the high pressure pump; and a dual fuel (DF) engine to which the BOG compressed through the compression device is supplied as fuel. The engine of the vessel uses high pressure gas compressed at 150 to 400 bar as fuel and is driven by at least one of the BOG compressed in the compression device and the LNG compressed in the high pressure pump.

  • Publication number: 20150226379
    Abstract: A liquefied gas treatment method for a vessel is performed by a liquefied gas treatment system for the vessel including a cargo tank storing LNG, and a main engine and a sub engine using the LNG stored in the cargo tank as fuel. The liquefied gas treatment system includes a compressor line configured to compress BOG generated in the cargo tank by a compressor and supply the compressed BOG to the engines as fuel, and a pump line configured to compress the LNG stored in the cargo tank by a pump and supply the compressed LNG to the engines as fuel. In a laden condition in which an amount of the LNG stored in the cargo tank is larger than in a ballast condition, the BOG generated in the cargo tank is supplied as fuel to at least one of the engines through the compressor line.

  • Publication number: 20140290279
    Abstract: A liquefied gas treatment system includes: a first stream of boil-off gas, which is generated from the liquefied natural gas in the cargo tank and is discharged from the cargo tank; a second stream of the boil-off gas, which is supplied as fuel to the engine in the first stream; and a third stream of the boil-off gas, which is not supplied to the engine in the first stream. The first stream is compressed in a compressor and is then branched into the second stream and the third stream. The third stream is liquefied by exchanging heat with the first stream in a heat exchanger, so that the boil-off gas is treated without employing a reliquefaction apparatus using a separate refrigerant.
