According to the requirement of Res.MSC.285(86) for natural gas-fueled engine installations in ships, pump and compressor rooms should be fitted with effective mechanical ventilation system of the under pressure type, providing a ventilation capacity of at least 30 air changes per hour. It generally considered that gas leakage is more likely from a Fueled Gas Supply System(FGS) room as compared to other places, where installed in many kind of machinery or equipments like gas supply high-pressure pipes, valves, flanges and etc. Furthermore, leaked gas may be dispersed in a short time in an enclosed space, especially a FGS room, due to high pressure. However, the present requirement in Res.MSC.285(86) just considers the ventilating capacity of air changes per hour but the capacity of leaked gas. Hence, the current requirements may not meet effectively when enforcing the new propulsion systems as marine fuel. This study is conducted for the purpose of safety evaluation about the dispersion and ventilation efficiency with estimated leakage scenario. Numerical analysis predictions as the result of this paper are explained to know the features of flow pattern and the diffusion of natural gas concentration.

The main objectives of this study are to analyze the leaked gas dispersion and quantify the potential overpressures due to vapor cloud explosions in order to identify the most significant contributors to risk by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFX & FLACS) for gas fuelled ships. A series of CFD simulations and analyses have been performed for the various gas release scenarios in a closed module, covering different release rates and ventilating methods. This study is specially focused on the LNG FGS (Fuel Gas Supply) system recently developed for the propulsion of VLCC crude oil carriers by shipyards. Most of work presented is discussed on the gas dispersion from leaks in the FGS room, and shows some blast prediction validation examples.

선박의 연료로 이용되는 중유는 지구 온난화를 일으키는 유해가스를 배출한다. 이를 저감하기 위해 친환경선박으로 표현되고 있는 녹색선박이 등장하게 되었고, 천연가스를 연료로 하는 액화천연가스(LNG) 연료 선박이 대표적인 사례이다. 본 논문에서는 LNG 선박에 사용되는 극저온 환경에서 고압 하중을 받는 기화기와 출입구 배관의 구조 건전성을 ASME 코드에 따라 평가하고 실용화한 최초의 사례이다. 기화기와 배관은 유한요소법을 사용하여 구조해석을 수행하였다. 기화기는 등가응력을 바탕으로 ASME Section VIII Division 2에 제시된 허용응력과 비교하여 건전성 평가를 수행하였고, 배관은 성분별 응력을 조합하여 ASME B31.3에 제시된 허용응력과 비교 및 건전성 평가를 수행하였다. 각 하중에 대한 구조물들의 응력 결과는 허용응력 범위 이내에 있으므로 구조적 건전성을 유지하는 것으로 평가되었다.
