Abstract

The re-liquefaction drum is a product that installed spray nozzles at the top to directly spray overcooled LNG into evaporative gas and installed demistors to facilitate gas separation, which was developed to increase the re-liquidity efficiency of small scale re-liquefaction facilities. In the hydrostatic test of the drum, no leakage occurred even at a pressure of 1.5 times the design pressure, but during the BOR(Boil Off Rate) test, the bolt loosening occurred due to contraction and expansion by temperature change. For the continued use of the product, insulation construction on flange connections was developed to enable detachment and attachment, and the comparison of heat load with existing insulation confirmed that it was very small compared to the inlet flow rate in the drum.

재액화 드럼은 과냉각된 LNG를 증발가스에 직접 분사하기 위해 상부에 스프레이 노즐을 설치하고, 기액 분리가 용이하도록 데미스터를 설치한 제품으로, 소형 재액화 설비의 재액화 효율을 높이기 위해 개발한 제품이다. 드럼의 상온 내압기밀시험에서는 설계압력의 1.5배 이상의 압력에서도 누설(Leak)이 없었으나, 단열성능시험 중 온도변화에 따른 수축/팽창으로 인해 볼트풀림 현상이 발생하였다. 제품의 지속적인 사용을 위해 플랜지 결합부의 단열 시공은 탈부착이 가능하도록 개발하였으며, 기존 단열과의 열침입량 비교 결과 드럼 내 유입 유량 대비 매우 미미함을 확인하였다.
