Abstract

The heat transfer characteristics of LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) vaporizer on the ship was performed by numerical simulation to get the optimum NG(Natural Gas) generating condition. The glycol-water was used for heating in LNG vaporizer, and the cooling water of main engine was used as heating souse for glycol-water. This cooling water temperature increases again after recirculating from the main engine, and then it can be used to heat the glycol-water. The numerical analysis results has good agreement with the experimental results by liquid nitrogen for validation. So CFD technique was used to simulate the heat transfer characteristics of LNG vaporizer on the ship. The numerical results show that the operation condition of LNG vaporizer shows NG temperature of $6^{\circ}C$ in the outlet of LNG vaporizer, and the mass flow rates of LNG and glycol-water were showed 0.111 kg/s and 1.805 kg/s, respectively.

본 논문은 액화 천연 가스(LNG)를 주 연료로 사용하는 선박용의 LNG기화기의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 기화기 내부에서의 열전달 특성을 연구하였다. LNG를 기화하기 위한 가열열원으로서는 주 엔진에서 발생하는 워터 쟈켓의 가온수를 직접 이용하지 않고 열교환기를 통하여 간접 가열된 글리콜 워터(Glycol Water)를 사용하는 시스템을 채택하였다. LNG의 기화 과정은 상변화를 동반하기 때문에 이를 검증하기 위하여 액화질소(LN2)의 기화과정을 통하여 신뢰성을 확보하였고, LNG 기화기 내부의 최적 열적특성을 도출하기 위하여 LNG의 유입량과 가열열원인 글리콜 워터 유량변화에 대한 LNG 기화특성을 연구하였다. 해석 결과 LNG 질량유량이 0.111 kg/s과 가열원수인 부동액 질량유량이 1.805 kg/s일 경우 가스 출구 온도는 약 $6^{\circ}C$로서 LNG 선박의 최적 운전 조건임을 알 수 있었다.
