Description

本発明は、気化器に関する。 The present invention relates to a vaporizer.

従来、液化天然ガス等の低温の液化ガスを気化させる気化装置として、伝熱管の外表面に海水等の熱源流体を流下させて伝熱管内を流れる液化ガスを気化させるオープンラック式の気化器、熱源流体に加えて中間媒体を用いる中間媒体式の気化器、円柱状の胴体と伝熱管から構成されたシェルアンドチューブ式の気化器等が知られている。特許文献１には、シェルアンドチューブ式の気化器が開示されており、熱源流体として入手が容易な工水または海水が利用されている。 Conventionally, as a vaporizer for vaporizing low-temperature liquefied gas such as liquefied natural gas, an open rack type vaporizer that vaporizes the liquefied gas flowing in the heat transfer tube by flowing a heat source fluid such as seawater on the outer surface of the heat transfer tube. Intermediate medium type vaporizers that use an intermediate medium in addition to the heat source fluid, shell-and-tube type vaporizers that are composed of a columnar body and a heat transfer tube, and the like are known. Patent Document 1 discloses a shell-and-tube type vaporizer, and industrial water or seawater that is easily available as a heat source fluid is used.

特開２０２０－７０９２２号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2020-70922

特許文献１の気化器は、伝熱管内に流通させた液化ガスを、シェル内の加熱流体によって気化させるように構成されている。これに対して、熱源流体に海水を用いる場合には、気化器のシェル内における隙間腐食防止や洗浄性向上の観点から、シェル内の液化ガスを、伝熱管内に流通させた熱源流体によって気化させることも可能である。 The vaporizer of Patent Document 1 is configured to vaporize the liquefied gas circulated in the heat transfer tube by the heating fluid in the shell. On the other hand, when seawater is used as the heat source fluid, the liquefied gas in the shell is vaporized by the heat source fluid circulated in the heat transfer tube from the viewpoint of preventing crevice corrosion in the shell of the vaporizer and improving cleanability. It is also possible to make it.

液化ガスには、主成分と、沸点が主成分の沸点よりも高い高沸点成分とを含む液化ガスがある。この種の液化ガスを、伝熱管内に海水を流入させ且つシェル内に液化ガスを流入させる構成の気化器を用いて気化させることを考えた場合、シェル内に高沸点成分が蓄積される虞があると推測される。すなわち、シェル内の液化ガスでは主成分が優先的に気化するため、シェル内に溜まる液化ガス内に高沸点成分が蓄積される傾向があると推測される。 The liquefied gas includes a liquefied gas containing a main component and a high boiling point component having a boiling point higher than the boiling point of the main component. When considering vaporizing this type of liquefied gas using a vaporizer having a configuration in which seawater flows into the heat transfer tube and liquefied gas flows into the shell, there is a risk that high boiling point components will accumulate in the shell. It is presumed that there is. That is, since the main component of the liquefied gas in the shell is vaporized preferentially, it is presumed that the high boiling point component tends to be accumulated in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell.

そこで、本発明は、前記従来技術を鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、主成分と、沸点が主成分の沸点よりも高い高沸点成分とを含む液化ガスをシェル内で気化させる場合において、高沸点成分がシェル内に蓄積することを抑制することにある。 Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a liquefied gas containing a main component and a high boiling point component having a boiling point higher than the boiling point of the main component in a shell. In the case of vaporization, the purpose is to suppress the accumulation of high boiling point components in the shell.

前記の目的を達成するため、本発明に係る気化器は、主成分と、前記主成分の沸点よりも高い沸点を有する高沸点成分とを含む液化ガスを気化させる気化器であって、シェルと、前記シェル内に前記液化ガスを供給する供給部と、前記シェル内に配置され、前記液化ガスの前記主成分を気化させる温度を有する第１加熱流体が導入される複数の伝熱管と、前記シェル内で気化した前記主成分を前記シェルから導出させる導出部と、前記シェルの底部に配置され、前記シェル内に溜まった前記液化ガスを前記シェルから流出させる液流出部と、前記液流出部を通して前記シェルから導出された前記液化ガスに含まれる前記主成分を、第２加熱流体との熱交換により気化させる加熱器とを備えている。 In order to achieve the above object, the vaporizer according to the present invention is a vaporizer that vaporizes a liquefied gas containing a main component and a high boiling point component having a boiling point higher than the boiling point of the main component, and is a shell. A supply unit for supplying the liquefied gas into the shell, a plurality of heat transfer tubes arranged in the shell and into which a first heating fluid having a temperature for vaporizing the main component of the liquefied gas is introduced, and the above. A derivation unit that derives the main component vaporized in the shell from the shell, a liquid outflow unit that is arranged at the bottom of the shell and causes the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell to flow out from the shell, and a liquid outflow unit. It is provided with a heater for vaporizing the main component contained in the liquefied gas derived from the shell through heat exchange with the second heating fluid.

本発明では、シェル内に溜まった液化ガスと伝熱管内の第１加熱流体との熱交換がされることにより、液化ガスの主成分の大部分が気化する。この気化したガスは導出部を通じてシェル外に導出される。一方、気化しない高沸点成分はシェル内に溜まる液化ガス内にとどまる。しかしながら、このシェルの底部に溜まった液化ガスは液流出部を通してシェル外に抜き出されるので、シェル内において、高沸点成分が蓄積されることを抑制できる。したがって、シェル内に溜まった液化ガスにおいて、高沸点成分が次第に濃縮されることを抑制できる。しかも、液流出部を通して流出した、高沸点成分を含む液化ガスが、加熱器において第２加熱流体との熱交換によって気化するので、シェルから液の状態で抜き出された主成分をガス状にして得ることができる。 In the present invention, most of the main components of the liquefied gas are vaporized by heat exchange between the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell and the first heating fluid in the heat transfer tube. This vaporized gas is led out of the shell through the lead-out unit. On the other hand, the non-vaporized high boiling point component stays in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell. However, since the liquefied gas accumulated at the bottom of the shell is extracted to the outside of the shell through the liquid outflow portion, it is possible to suppress the accumulation of high boiling point components in the shell. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the high boiling point component from being gradually concentrated in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell. Moreover, the liquefied gas containing a high boiling point component that has flowed out through the liquid outflow portion is vaporized by heat exchange with the second heating fluid in the heater, so that the main component extracted from the shell in the liquid state is made into a gas. Can be obtained.

前記供給部は、前記シェル内に前記液化ガスを供給する供給口を有していてもよく、その場合、前記供給口は、前記シェル内において、前記複数の伝熱管のうち最も下に位置する伝熱管よりも上に位置していてもよい。 The supply unit may have a supply port for supplying the liquefied gas in the shell, in which case the supply port is located at the bottom of the plurality of heat transfer tubes in the shell. It may be located above the heat transfer tube.

この態様では、供給部の供給口を通してシェル内に供給された液化ガスが伝熱管内の第１加熱流体と熱交換しないまま液流出部を通してシェル外に流出することを抑制できる。したがって、シェル内において第１加熱流体と液化ガスとの熱交換を効果的に行うことができる。 In this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the liquefied gas supplied into the shell through the supply port of the supply unit from flowing out of the shell through the liquid outflow unit without exchanging heat with the first heating fluid in the heat transfer tube. Therefore, heat exchange between the first heating fluid and the liquefied gas can be effectively performed in the shell.

前記供給部は、前記シェル内に前記液化ガスを供給する供給口を有していてもよく、その場合、前記供給口は、前記シェル内において、前記シェル内に溜まった液化ガスの液面よりも上に位置していてもよい。 The supply unit may have a supply port for supplying the liquefied gas in the shell, in which case the supply port is located in the shell from the liquid level of the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell. May also be located above.

この態様では、供給部の供給口を通して供給された液化ガスはシェル内に溜まった液化ガスに液面側から合流する。このため、供給された液化ガスが、伝熱管内の第１加熱流体と熱交換せずに液流出部を通じてシェル外に流出することを防止できる。これにより、シェル内において、第１加熱流体と液化ガスとの熱交換を効果的に行うことができる。 In this aspect, the liquefied gas supplied through the supply port of the supply unit joins the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell from the liquid surface side. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the supplied liquefied gas from flowing out of the shell through the liquid outflow portion without exchanging heat with the first heating fluid in the heat transfer tube. As a result, heat exchange between the first heating fluid and the liquefied gas can be effectively performed in the shell.

前記加熱器は、前記導出部を通して導出されたガス状の前記主成分をも加熱してもよい。 The heater may also heat the gaseous main component derived through the outlet.

この態様では、導出部から導出された液化ガスの主成分の温度を、より高い温度に上げることができるため、高温のガスを要求する需要先に対応できる。 In this embodiment, the temperature of the main component of the liquefied gas derived from the out-licensing unit can be raised to a higher temperature, so that it is possible to meet the demand for high-temperature gas.

前記加熱器は、前記液流出部を通して前記シェルから導出された前記液化ガスに含まれる前記高沸点成分を、前記第２加熱流体との熱交換により蒸発させてもよい。 The heater may evaporate the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas derived from the shell through the liquid outflow portion by heat exchange with the second heating fluid.

この態様では、ガス状の主成分及び高沸点成分を需要先に供給できる。 In this embodiment, the gaseous main component and the high boiling point component can be supplied to the demand destination.

前記気化器では、前記供給部を通して前記シェル内に供給される液化ガスの流量に対する、前記液流出部から導出される液化ガスの流量の割合の値は、前記供給部を通して供給される前記液化ガスに含まれる前記高沸点成分の割合以上の値でもよい。 In the vaporizer, the value of the ratio of the flow rate of the liquefied gas derived from the liquid outflow section to the flow rate of the liquefied gas supplied into the shell through the supply section is the value of the liquefied gas supplied through the supply section. It may be a value equal to or more than the ratio of the high boiling point component contained in.

この態様では、シェル内に供給される液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の割合以上の割合の高沸点成分を含む液化ガスが、液流出部を通してシェルから導出される。このため、シェル内に供給される高沸点成分の量を、シェルから導出される高沸点成分の量以上の量にすることができる。したがって、シェル内に溜まる液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の割合が無制限に高くなることを防止できるため、シェル内に溜まる液化ガスにおいて、高沸点成分が無制限に濃縮されることを防止できる。 In this embodiment, a liquefied gas containing a high boiling point component in a proportion equal to or higher than the proportion of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas supplied into the shell is derived from the shell through the liquid outflow portion. Therefore, the amount of the high boiling point component supplied into the shell can be made larger than the amount of the high boiling point component derived from the shell. Therefore, since it is possible to prevent the proportion of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell from increasing indefinitely, it is possible to prevent the high boiling point component from being indefinitely concentrated in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell.

前記気化器では、前記供給部を通して前記シェル内に供給される液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の流量は、前記液流出部から流出する液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の流量と同じでもよい。 In the vaporizer, the flow rate of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas supplied into the shell through the supply section may be the same as the flow rate of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas flowing out from the liquid outflow section.

この態様では、シェル内に溜まる液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の量の増加は抑制される。したがって、シェル内に溜まる液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の濃縮を防止できる。 In this embodiment, an increase in the amount of high boiling point components contained in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the concentration of high boiling point components contained in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell.

前記液化ガスは水分を含む液化アンモニアであってもよく、前記第１加熱流体は水であってもよい。 The liquefied gas may be liquefied ammonia containing water, and the first heating fluid may be water.

この態様では、海水、工業用水等の水を用いて液化アンモニアを加熱し、アンモニアガスを得ることができる。したがって、ランニングコストが過大になることを防止しつつ、アンモニアガスを得ることができる。 In this embodiment, liquefied ammonia can be heated with water such as seawater and industrial water to obtain ammonia gas. Therefore, it is possible to obtain ammonia gas while preventing the running cost from becoming excessive.

以上説明したように、本発明によれば、主成分と、沸点が主成分の沸点よりも高い高沸点成分とを含む液化ガスをシェル内で気化させる場合において、高沸点成分がシェル内に蓄積することを抑制できる。 As described above, according to the present invention, when a liquefied gas containing a main component and a high boiling point component having a boiling point higher than the boiling point of the main component is vaporized in the shell, the high boiling point component is accumulated in the shell. Can be suppressed.

以下、本発明を実施するための形態について図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

＜第１実施形態＞
図１に示すように、第１実施形態に係る低温液化ガス気化器（以下、気化器と称する）１０は、液化ガスを加熱流体によって気化させるための気化器である。ここで、液化ガスとは常温で気体状態であって低温に冷却することで液状となる流体であり、本実施形態では液化ガスとして液化アンモニアを用いるが、これに限らず、例えば液化二酸化炭素等であってもよい。 <First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the low-temperature liquefied gas vaporizer (hereinafter referred to as a vaporizer) 10 according to the first embodiment is a vaporizer for vaporizing the liquefied gas with a heated fluid. Here, the liquefied gas is a fluid that is in a gaseous state at room temperature and becomes liquid when cooled to a low temperature. In the present embodiment, liquefied ammonia is used as the liquefied gas, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, liquefied carbon dioxide and the like. May be.

液化アンモニアには、主成分であるアンモニアと、主成分の沸点よりも高い沸点を有する高沸点成分である水とが含まれる。気化器１０では、供給された液化ガスのうち主成分である液状のアンモニアが優先的に気化し、ガス状のアンモニアを需要先に供給する。なお、液化二酸化炭素にも高沸点成分である水が含まれるため、気化器１０において液化二酸化炭素を気化させる場合には、二酸化炭素が優先的に気化する。このため、水が気化器１０内に残りやすい。ただし、高沸点成分は水に限らず、主成分の沸点よりも高い沸点を有する他の流体でもよい。 The liquefied ammonia includes ammonia as a main component and water as a high boiling point component having a boiling point higher than the boiling point of the main component. In the vaporizer 10, liquid ammonia, which is the main component of the supplied liquefied gas, is preferentially vaporized, and gaseous ammonia is supplied to the demand destination. Since the liquefied carbon dioxide also contains water, which is a high boiling point component, the carbon dioxide is preferentially vaporized when the liquefied carbon dioxide is vaporized in the vaporizer 10. Therefore, water tends to remain in the vaporizer 10. However, the high boiling point component is not limited to water, and other fluids having a boiling point higher than the boiling point of the main component may be used.

気化器１０は、液化ガスと第１加熱流体とを熱交換させる主熱交換器１１と、主熱交換器１１から流出された液化ガスを加熱する加熱器１２と、を備えている。 The vaporizer 10 includes a main heat exchanger 11 for heat exchange between the liquefied gas and the first heating fluid, and a heater 12 for heating the liquefied gas flowing out from the main heat exchanger 11.

主熱交換器１１は、シェルアンドチューブ式の熱交換器であり、シェル１５と、シェル１５内に配置された複数の伝熱管１６とを備えている。シェル１５は、一方向に延びる筒状の胴部２１と、胴部２１の一端側に位置する第１管板２２と、胴部２１の他端側に位置する第２管板２３とを備えている。シェル１５は、胴部２１、第１管板２２及び第２管板２３により中空状に形成されている。複数の伝熱管１６は、第１管板２２及び第２管板２３に架け渡されている。 The main heat exchanger 11 is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and includes a shell 15 and a plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 arranged in the shell 15. The shell 15 includes a tubular body portion 21 extending in one direction, a first tube plate 22 located on one end side of the body portion 21, and a second tube plate 23 located on the other end side of the body portion 21. ing. The shell 15 is formed in a hollow shape by the body portion 21, the first pipe plate 22, and the second pipe plate 23. The plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 are bridged over the first tube plate 22 and the second tube plate 23.

複数の伝熱管１６は、水平方向に直線的に延びるように配設されている。複数の伝熱管１６は、シェル１５の長手方向に間隔をおいて配置された複数の保持部材１８によって支持されている。 The plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 are arranged so as to extend linearly in the horizontal direction. The plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 are supported by a plurality of holding members 18 arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the shell 15.

シェル１５には、入口室２５と出口室２６が隣接している。入口室２５は、第１管板２２側に隣接しており、出口室２６は第２管板２３側に隣接している。第１管板２２に室形成部２７が接続されることにより、シェル１５の端部に中空状の入口室２５が形成されている。また、第２管板２３に室形成部２８が接続されることにより、シェル１５の端部に中空状の出口室２６が形成されている。入口室２５及び出口室２６は、複数の伝熱管１６を通して互いに連通している。 An entrance chamber 25 and an exit chamber 26 are adjacent to the shell 15. The entrance chamber 25 is adjacent to the first pipe plate 22 side, and the exit chamber 26 is adjacent to the second pipe plate 23 side. By connecting the chamber forming portion 27 to the first pipe plate 22, a hollow inlet chamber 25 is formed at the end portion of the shell 15. Further, by connecting the chamber forming portion 28 to the second pipe plate 23, a hollow outlet chamber 26 is formed at the end portion of the shell 15. The inlet chamber 25 and the outlet chamber 26 communicate with each other through a plurality of heat transfer tubes 16.

入口室２５には、入口ポート３１が設けられており、第１加熱流体は、入口ポート３１を通して外部から入口室２５内へ導入される。入口室２５内の第１加熱流体は、複数の伝熱管１６を通して出口室２６に導入される。出口室２６には、出口ポート３２が設けられており、第１加熱流体は出口ポート３２を通して出口室２６内から外部へ排出される。第１加熱流体は、海水、工業用水等の水である。すなわち、第１加熱流体は、液化ガスの沸点よりも高温の流体である。なお、第１加熱流体は、高沸点成分の沸点よりも高温であってもよい。この場合でも、連続運転した場合に高沸点成分が気化することなくシェル１５内に溜まることがある。 The inlet chamber 25 is provided with an inlet port 31, and the first heating fluid is introduced into the inlet chamber 25 from the outside through the inlet port 31. The first heating fluid in the inlet chamber 25 is introduced into the outlet chamber 26 through the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16. The outlet chamber 26 is provided with an outlet port 32, and the first heating fluid is discharged from the inside of the outlet chamber 26 to the outside through the outlet port 32. The first heating fluid is water such as seawater and industrial water. That is, the first heating fluid is a fluid having a temperature higher than the boiling point of the liquefied gas. The first heating fluid may have a higher temperature than the boiling point of the high boiling point component. Even in this case, the high boiling point component may accumulate in the shell 15 without being vaporized during continuous operation.

シェル１５内には、液化ガスをシェル１５内に供給する供給部３５が設けられている。供給部３５は、シェル１５内において複数の伝熱管１６の延びる方向に延びるように配置された供給管３６と、供給管３６からシェル１５外に延びるように配置された接続管３７と、を備えている。 A supply unit 35 for supplying liquefied gas into the shell 15 is provided in the shell 15. The supply unit 35 includes a supply pipe 36 arranged so as to extend in the extending direction of the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 in the shell 15, and a connection pipe 37 arranged so as to extend from the supply pipe 36 to the outside of the shell 15. ing.

供給管３６は、複数の伝熱管１６よりも上方に配置されている。供給管３６には、長手方向に間隔をおいて配置された複数の供給口３８が設けられ、この複数の供給口３８を通して液化ガスをシェル１５内に供給する。 The supply pipe 36 is arranged above the plurality of heat transfer pipes 16. The supply pipe 36 is provided with a plurality of supply ports 38 arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction, and liquefied gas is supplied into the shell 15 through the plurality of supply ports 38.

供給管３６は、シェル１５内に溜まった液化ガスの液面よりも上方に位置している。したがって、複数の供給口３８から供給された液化ガスは落下して液面に降り注ぐ。 The supply pipe 36 is located above the liquid level of the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15. Therefore, the liquefied gas supplied from the plurality of supply ports 38 falls and falls on the liquid surface.

接続管３７は、上端が胴部２１の上部に固定されており、下端が供給管３６の端部に接続されている。すなわち、接続管３７は供給管３６を支持している。接続管３７の上端には、シェル１５の外部から液化ガスを流入させる外部配管３９が接続される。なお、図１では、接続管３７の下端が供給管３６の端部に接続された構成を示しているが、接続管３７は供給管３６の中間部に接続されていてもよい。また、供給管３６は、１本の管部材によって構成されていてもよいが、接続管３７から分岐する複数の管部材によって構成されていてもよい。 The upper end of the connecting pipe 37 is fixed to the upper part of the body portion 21, and the lower end thereof is connected to the end portion of the supply pipe 36. That is, the connecting pipe 37 supports the supply pipe 36. An external pipe 39 for flowing liquefied gas from the outside of the shell 15 is connected to the upper end of the connecting pipe 37. Although FIG. 1 shows a configuration in which the lower end of the connecting pipe 37 is connected to the end portion of the supply pipe 36, the connecting pipe 37 may be connected to the intermediate portion of the supply pipe 36. Further, the supply pipe 36 may be composed of one pipe member, but may be composed of a plurality of pipe members branching from the connecting pipe 37.

シェル１５内においては、複数の伝熱管１６内を流れる第１加熱流体と、シェル１５内に溜まった液状の液化ガスとの間で熱交換が行われ、液化ガスの主成分の大部分が気化する。このため、シェル１５の上部には、気化した主成分ガスをシェル１５外に導出する導出部４１が設けられている。導出部４１には、導出配管４２が接続されており、主成分ガスはこの導出配管４２を通して需要先に送られる。 In the shell 15, heat exchange is performed between the first heating fluid flowing in the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 and the liquid liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15, and most of the main components of the liquefied gas are vaporized. do. Therefore, a lead-out unit 41 for leading the vaporized main component gas to the outside of the shell 15 is provided on the upper part of the shell 15. A lead-out pipe 42 is connected to the lead-out unit 41, and the main component gas is sent to the demand destination through the lead-out pipe 42.

一方、シェル１５内には、液状の液化ガスが溜まっているが、この液化ガスには、第１加熱流体との熱交換によっては気化しない高沸点成分が含まれている。このため、シェル１５の底部には、高沸点成分を含む液状の液化ガスをシェル１５から流出させる液流出部４５が設けられている。液流出部４５は、胴部２１の底面に位置していてもよいが、胴部２１の側面における下端部に位置していてもよい。 On the other hand, a liquid liquefied gas is accumulated in the shell 15, and the liquefied gas contains a high boiling point component that is not vaporized by heat exchange with the first heating fluid. For this reason, a liquid outflow portion 45 is provided at the bottom of the shell 15 to allow a liquid liquefied gas containing a high boiling point component to flow out from the shell 15. The liquid outflow portion 45 may be located at the bottom surface of the body portion 21, but may be located at the lower end portion on the side surface of the body portion 21.

液流出部４５には接続管４６が接続されており、接続管４６には、加熱器１２とポンプ４７とが設けられている。ポンプ４７は、シェル１５内に溜まった液状の液化ガスを液流出部４５を通して接続管４６内に引き込む。ポンプ４７の作動によって接続管４６を流れる液化ガスは、加熱器１２に導入される。 A connecting pipe 46 is connected to the liquid outflow portion 45, and the connecting pipe 46 is provided with a heater 12 and a pump 47. The pump 47 draws the liquid liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15 into the connecting pipe 46 through the liquid outflow portion 45. The liquefied gas flowing through the connecting pipe 46 by the operation of the pump 47 is introduced into the heater 12.

ポンプ４７は、所定量の液化ガスを、液流出部４５を通してシェル１５から導出させるように設定されている。すなわち、ポンプ４７は、供給部３５を通してシェル１５内に供給される液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の流量と同じ流量の高沸点成分を含む液化ガスをシェル１５から流出させるように、設定されている。このため、ポンプ４７が作動すると、シェル１５内に供給される液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の流量と同じ流量の高沸点成分を含む液化ガスが、液流出部４５を通してシェル１５から導出される。したがって、シェル１５内に液化ガスが溜まった状態で連続運転を継続したとしても、シェル１５内で溜まっている液化ガス中に含まれる高沸点成分の量が次第に増加することを防止することができる。 The pump 47 is set so that a predetermined amount of liquefied gas is led out from the shell 15 through the liquid outflow portion 45. That is, the pump 47 is set so that the liquefied gas containing the high boiling point component having the same flow rate as the flow rate of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas supplied into the shell 15 through the supply unit 35 flows out from the shell 15. There is. Therefore, when the pump 47 operates, the liquefied gas containing the high boiling point component having the same flow rate as the flow rate of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas supplied into the shell 15 is led out from the shell 15 through the liquid outflow portion 45. .. Therefore, even if continuous operation is continued with the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15, it is possible to prevent the amount of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15 from gradually increasing. ..

ポンプ４７は、見方を変えれば、供給部３５を通してシェル１５内に供給される液化ガスの流量に対する、液流出部４５から導出される液化ガスの流量の割合の値が、供給部３５を通して供給される液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の割合の値以上の値となるように、設定されている。なお、ここでいう「液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の割合の値」とは、質量基準の値（質量％）であってもよいし、体積基準の値（体積％）であってもよい。 From a different point of view, the pump 47 is supplied with a value of the ratio of the flow rate of the liquefied gas derived from the liquid outflow section 45 to the flow rate of the liquefied gas supplied into the shell 15 through the supply section 35 through the supply section 35. The value is set to be equal to or higher than the value of the ratio of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas. The "value of the ratio of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas" here may be a mass-based value (mass%) or a volume-based value (volume%). ..

なお、接続管４６にはポンプ４７が設けられていなくてもよく、その場合、シェル１５内の液化ガスの液面と、加熱器１２における液化ガスの液面との高低差によって、液化ガスが流れるように構成される。 The connecting pipe 46 does not have to be provided with the pump 47. In that case, the liquefied gas is generated by the height difference between the liquid level of the liquefied gas in the shell 15 and the liquid level of the liquefied gas in the heater 12. It is configured to flow.

加熱器１２は、接続管４６を通して導入された液化ガスを、外部から供給される第２加熱流体によって気化させるよう構成された熱交換器である。第２加熱流体は、第１加熱流体よりも高温の流体であり、例えば、温水、水蒸気等である。第２加熱流体は、高沸点成分の沸点よりも高温であってもよい。加熱器１２において第２加熱流体によって加熱されて気化したガスは、需要先に送られる。なお、接続管４６には導出配管４２が接続されているため、第２加熱流体によって気化したガスは、導出部４１を通してシェル１５から導出されたガスに合流した上で需要先に送られる。 The heater 12 is a heat exchanger configured to vaporize the liquefied gas introduced through the connecting pipe 46 by a second heating fluid supplied from the outside. The second heating fluid is a fluid having a higher temperature than the first heating fluid, and is, for example, hot water, steam, or the like. The second heating fluid may be hotter than the boiling point of the high boiling point component. The gas heated and vaporized by the second heating fluid in the heater 12 is sent to the demand destination. Since the lead-out pipe 42 is connected to the connecting pipe 46, the gas vaporized by the second heating fluid joins the gas led out from the shell 15 through the lead-out unit 41 and is sent to the demand destination.

上記のように構成された気化器１０の運転時には、外部配管３９から供給部３５へ供給された液化ガスは、複数の供給口３８から供給されて、シェル１５内の液化ガスの液面に降り注がれる。シェル１５内に溜まった液化ガスは複数の伝熱管１６内を流れる第１加熱流体と熱交換して気化する。したがって、シェル１５内の液化ガスは、飽和圧力の状態となっている。このとき、液化ガスの主成分の沸点が、高沸点成分の沸点よりも低いため、主成分は優先的に気化する。気化した液化ガス（主成分）は、導出部４１を通じて導出配管４２へ流出する。気化されなかった液化ガスは、シェル１５内に溜まる。 During the operation of the vaporizer 10 configured as described above, the liquefied gas supplied from the external pipe 39 to the supply unit 35 is supplied from the plurality of supply ports 38 and descends to the liquid level of the liquefied gas in the shell 15. It is poured. The liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15 exchanges heat with the first heating fluid flowing in the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 and vaporizes. Therefore, the liquefied gas in the shell 15 is in a state of saturation pressure. At this time, since the boiling point of the main component of the liquefied gas is lower than the boiling point of the high boiling point component, the main component is vaporized preferentially. The vaporized liquefied gas (main component) flows out to the outlet pipe 42 through the outlet 41. The liquefied gas that has not been vaporized accumulates in the shell 15.

例えば主成分であるアンモニアと、高沸点成分である水との場合では、水の方がアンモニアよりも比重が大きい。このため、液化ガスのうち、高沸点成分がより多く溶存している部分が、シェル１５の底部に移動し易い。すなわち、シェル１５内に溜まる液化ガスにおいて、上方よりも下方の方が高沸点成分の濃度が大きくなり易い。 For example, in the case of ammonia as a main component and water as a high boiling point component, water has a higher specific density than ammonia. Therefore, the portion of the liquefied gas in which a larger amount of the high boiling point component is dissolved easily moves to the bottom of the shell 15. That is, in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15, the concentration of the high boiling point component tends to be higher in the lower part than in the upper part.

シェル１５内に溜まっている液化ガスは、ポンプ４７の作動により、シェル１５底部の液流出部４５から抜き出されて加熱器１２に送られる。このとき、シェル１５内に供給される高沸点成分の流量よりも大きな流量の高沸点成分を含む液化ガスが、液流出部４５を通してシェル１５から導出される。 The liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15 is extracted from the liquid outflow portion 45 at the bottom of the shell 15 by the operation of the pump 47 and sent to the heater 12. At this time, a liquefied gas containing a high boiling point component having a flow rate larger than the flow rate of the high boiling point component supplied into the shell 15 is led out from the shell 15 through the liquid outflow portion 45.

加熱器１２に流入した液化ガスは、第２加熱流体との熱交換によって加熱されて気化する。このとき、液化ガスの主成分であるアンモニアと、高沸点成分である水とが、ともに気化する。加熱器１２で気化したガスは、接続管４６を通じて需要先に供給される。 The liquefied gas flowing into the heater 12 is heated and vaporized by heat exchange with the second heating fluid. At this time, both ammonia, which is the main component of the liquefied gas, and water, which is a high boiling point component, are vaporized. The gas vaporized by the heater 12 is supplied to the demand destination through the connecting pipe 46.

なお、本実施形態では、加熱器１２が、高沸点成分をも気化させる構成となっているが、これに限られるものではなく、加熱器１２において、高沸点成分が気化しない設定となっていてもよい。この場合には、主成分が高沸点成分と分離した上で、ガス状の主成分のみを需要先に供給することもできる。 In the present embodiment, the heater 12 is configured to vaporize the high boiling point component as well, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the heater 12 is set so that the high boiling point component is not vaporized. May be good. In this case, after the main component is separated from the high boiling point component, only the gaseous main component can be supplied to the demand destination.

上記のごとく構成された気化器１０では、シェル１５に流入した液化ガスにおいて、液化ガスの主成分の大部分は、複数の伝熱管１６を流通する第１加熱流体との熱交換によって加熱されて気化し、導出部４１を通じてシェル１５外に導出される。一方で、気化しなかった高沸点成分はシェル１５内に溜まる液化ガス内にとどまる。しかしながら、このシェル１５の底部に溜まった液化ガスは液流出部４５を通じてシェル１５外に抜き出されるので、シェル１５内において、高沸点成分が蓄積することを抑制できる。しかも、加熱器１２によって、液流出部４５から流出した高沸点成分を含む液化ガスをも気化させて、需要先に供給できる。したがって、加熱器１２で使用される第２加熱流体は、シェル１５内で気化しなかった液化ガスのみを加熱するため、第２加熱流体の使用量が過大になることを防止できる。 In the vaporizer 10 configured as described above, in the liquefied gas flowing into the shell 15, most of the main components of the liquefied gas are heated by heat exchange with the first heating fluid flowing through the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16. It is vaporized and derived to the outside of the shell 15 through the extraction unit 41. On the other hand, the unvaporized high boiling point component remains in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15. However, since the liquefied gas accumulated in the bottom of the shell 15 is extracted to the outside of the shell 15 through the liquid outflow portion 45, it is possible to suppress the accumulation of high boiling point components in the shell 15. Moreover, the heater 12 can also vaporize the liquefied gas containing the high boiling point component that has flowed out from the liquid outflow portion 45 and supply it to the demand destination. Therefore, since the second heating fluid used in the heater 12 heats only the liquefied gas that has not been vaporized in the shell 15, it is possible to prevent the amount of the second heating fluid from being excessive.

さらに、シェル１５内の液化ガスにおいて、高沸点成分の比重が主成分の比重より重い場合、上側よりも下側の方が高沸点成分の濃度が大きくなり易く、特にシェル１５底部では高沸点成分の濃度が大きくなり易い。このため、シェル１５の底部に配置された液流出部４５によって、より多く高沸点成分を抜き出すことができ、シェル１５内の高沸点成分の蓄積をさらに抑制できる。 Further, in the liquefied gas in the shell 15, when the specific gravity of the high boiling point component is heavier than the specific gravity of the main component, the concentration of the high boiling point component tends to be higher on the lower side than on the upper side, and the high boiling point component is particularly likely to be on the bottom of the shell 15. Concentration tends to increase. Therefore, the liquid outflow portion 45 arranged at the bottom of the shell 15 allows more high boiling point components to be extracted, and the accumulation of the high boiling point components in the shell 15 can be further suppressed.

一方、本実施形態では、供給部３５の供給口３８は、シェル１５内に溜まる液化ガスの液面よりも上方に位置しており、供給部３５を通して供給された液化ガスは、シェル１５内溜まった液化ガスに液面側から合流する。このため、供給された液化ガスが、伝熱管１６内の第１加熱流体と熱交換することなく液流出部４５を通じてシェル１５外に流出することを防止できる。したがって、シェル内において、第１加熱流体と液化ガスとの熱交換を効果的に行うことができる。 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the supply port 38 of the supply unit 35 is located above the liquid level of the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15, and the liquefied gas supplied through the supply unit 35 is accumulated in the shell 15. It joins the liquefied gas from the liquid surface side. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the supplied liquefied gas from flowing out of the shell 15 through the liquid outflow portion 45 without exchanging heat with the first heating fluid in the heat transfer tube 16. Therefore, heat exchange between the first heating fluid and the liquefied gas can be effectively performed in the shell.

また本実施形態では、液化ガスに含まれる主成分及び高沸点成分は、加熱器１２における第２加熱流体との熱交換によって気化する。したがって、ガス状の主成分及び高沸点成分を需要先に供給できる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the main component and the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas are vaporized by heat exchange with the second heating fluid in the heater 12. Therefore, the gaseous main component and the high boiling point component can be supplied to the demand destination.

また本実施形態の気化器１０では、供給部３５を通してシェル１５内に供給される液化ガスの流量に対する、液流出部４５から導出される液化ガスの流量の割合の値は、供給部３５を通して供給される液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の割合以上の値である。このため、シェル１５内に供給される高沸点成分の流量と、シェル１５から流出する高沸点成分の流量とは同じ又はそれ以上の流量になる。すなわち、シェル１５内に供給される液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の割合に相当する流量と同じ又はそれ以上の流量の高沸点成分を含む液化ガスが、液流出部４５を通してシェル１５から導出され。このため、シェル１５内に溜まる液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の割合が無制限に高くなることを防止できる。したがって、シェル１５内に溜まる液化ガスにおいて、高沸点成分が無制限に濃縮されることを防止できる。 Further, in the vaporizer 10 of the present embodiment, the value of the ratio of the flow rate of the liquefied gas derived from the liquid outflow section 45 to the flow rate of the liquefied gas supplied into the shell 15 through the supply section 35 is supplied through the supply section 35. It is a value equal to or higher than the ratio of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas to be produced. Therefore, the flow rate of the high boiling point component supplied into the shell 15 and the flow rate of the high boiling point component flowing out of the shell 15 are equal to or higher than the flow rate. That is, a liquefied gas containing a high boiling point component having a flow rate equal to or higher than the flow rate corresponding to the ratio of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas supplied into the shell 15 is derived from the shell 15 through the liquid outflow portion 45. .. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the proportion of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15 from increasing indefinitely. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an unlimited concentration of high boiling point components in the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15.

なお、気化器１０は、シェル１５に供給される液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の流量と同じ流量の高沸点成分を含む液化ガスが、シェル１５から導出されるが、これ以外でもよい。例えば、シェル１５に供給される液化ガスに含まれる高沸点成分の割合と、シェル１５から流出する高沸点成分の割合とが同じ割合（平衡状態）となってもよい。 In the vaporizer 10, the liquefied gas containing the high boiling point component having the same flow rate as the flow rate of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas supplied to the shell 15 is derived from the shell 15, but other than this may be used. For example, the ratio of the high boiling point component contained in the liquefied gas supplied to the shell 15 and the ratio of the high boiling point component flowing out from the shell 15 may be the same ratio (equilibrium state).

なお、導出配管４２において、接続管４６と合流する前に主成分を加熱する第２の加熱器（図示省略）が設けられていてもよい。この第２の加熱器では、加熱器１２で用いられる第２加熱流体と同じ加熱流体が加熱源として用いられてもよく、これとは別個の加熱流体が加熱源として用いられてもよい。 A second heater (not shown) may be provided in the lead-out pipe 42 to heat the main component before merging with the connecting pipe 46. In this second heater, the same heating fluid as the second heating fluid used in the heater 12 may be used as the heating source, or a separate heating fluid may be used as the heating source.

＜第２実施形態＞
第２実施形態に係る気化器１０について、図２を参照しながら説明する。ここでは、第１実施形態と同じ構成要素には同じ符号を付し、その詳細な説明を省略する。 <Second Embodiment>
The vaporizer 10 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

第２実施形態の気化器１０では、導出配管４２は、加熱器１２よりも上流側で且つポンプ４７の下流側において、接続管４６に合流している。このため、導出部４１から流出されたガス状の主成分と、液流出部４５から流出された液化ガスとは合流した後に、加熱器１２に導入される。これにより、加熱器１２においては、液流出部４５から流した液化ガスだけでなく、導出部４１から導出したガス状の主成分をも加熱される。したがって、ガス状の主成分をより高い温度に上げることができるため、高温のガスを要求する需要先に対応できる。 In the vaporizer 10 of the second embodiment, the lead-out pipe 42 joins the connecting pipe 46 on the upstream side of the heater 12 and on the downstream side of the pump 47. Therefore, the gaseous main component discharged from the outflow unit 41 and the liquefied gas discharged from the liquid outflow unit 45 are merged and then introduced into the heater 12. As a result, in the heater 12, not only the liquefied gas flowing from the liquid outflow section 45 but also the gaseous main component derived from the out-drawing section 41 is heated. Therefore, since the gaseous main component can be raised to a higher temperature, it is possible to meet the demand for high temperature gas.

なお、その他の構成、作用及び効果はその説明を省略するが、前記第１実施形態の説明を第２実施形態に援用することができる。 Although the description of other configurations, actions and effects will be omitted, the description of the first embodiment can be incorporated into the second embodiment.

＜第３実施形態＞
第３実施形態に係る気化器１０について、図３を参照しながら説明する。ここでは、第１実施形態と同じ構成要素には同じ符号を付し、その詳細な説明を省略する。 <Third Embodiment>
The vaporizer 10 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

第２実施形態では、導出部４１を流れるガス状の主成分と液流出部４５を流れる液化ガスとは、加熱器１２に導入される前に合流している。これに対し、第３実施形態では、導出部４１を流れるガス状の主成分と液流出部４５を流れる液化ガスとは、合流することなく別個に加熱器１２に導入される。 In the second embodiment, the gaseous main component flowing through the lead-out portion 41 and the liquefied gas flowing through the liquid outflow portion 45 are merged before being introduced into the heater 12. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the gaseous main component flowing through the lead-out portion 41 and the liquefied gas flowing through the liquid outflow portion 45 are separately introduced into the heater 12 without merging.

加熱器１２は、導出配管４２に連通する複数の流路を有する第１低温層と、接続管４６に連通する複数の流路を有する第２低温層と、第２加熱流体が導入される複数の流路を有する高温層と、が積層された構成の積層型熱交換器によって構成される。第１低温層では、ガス状の主成分が加熱されてより高温の主成分となる。一方、第２低温層では、液状の液化ガスが気化してガスとなる。第１低温層で加熱された主成分と、第２低温層で気化したガスとは、加熱器１２から導出された後で合流されて、需要先に供給される。 The heater 12 has a first low temperature layer having a plurality of flow paths communicating with the lead-out pipe 42, a second low temperature layer having a plurality of flow paths communicating with the connecting pipe 46, and a plurality of pieces into which the second heating fluid is introduced. It is composed of a laminated heat exchanger having a structure in which a high temperature layer having a flow path of the above is laminated. In the first low temperature layer, the gaseous main component is heated to become a higher temperature main component. On the other hand, in the second low temperature layer, the liquid liquefied gas is vaporized to become a gas. The main component heated in the first low temperature layer and the gas vaporized in the second low temperature layer are merged after being taken out from the heater 12 and supplied to the demand destination.

第３実施形態においても、導出部４１から流出したガス状の主成分をより高い温度に上げることができる。 Also in the third embodiment, the gaseous main component flowing out from the lead-out unit 41 can be raised to a higher temperature.

なお、その他の構成、作用及び効果はその説明を省略するが、前記第２実施形態の説明を第３実施形態に援用することができる。 Although the description of other configurations, actions and effects will be omitted, the description of the second embodiment can be incorporated into the third embodiment.

＜その他の実施形態＞
今回開示された実施形態は、全ての点で例示であって、制限的なものではないと解されるべきである。本発明の範囲は、上述した説明ではなくて特許請求の範囲により示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内での全ての変更が含まれることが意図される。 <Other embodiments>
It should be understood that the embodiments disclosed this time are exemplary in all respects and are not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown by the scope of claims rather than the above description, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of claims.

第１～第３実施形態では、供給部３５の供給管３６は、シェル１５内に溜まった液化ガスの液面よりも上に位置するように配置されているが、これに限られない。例えば、図４に示すように、供給管３６は複数の伝熱管１６のうち最も下に位置する伝熱管よりも上に位置していれば、液化ガスの液面よりも下に位置していてもよい。この構成でも、供給部３５を通してシェル１５内に供給された液化ガスが、複数の伝熱管１６内の第１加熱流体と熱交換しないまま液流出部４５を通じてシェル１５外に流出することを抑制できる。したがって、シェル１５内において、第１加熱流体と液化ガスとの熱交換を効果的に行うことができる。なお、供給管３６の位置は、最も上側に位置する伝熱管と最も下側に位置する伝熱管との間の高さ位置であってもよく、最も上側に位置する伝熱管と液面との間の高さ位置であってもよい。 In the first to third embodiments, the supply pipe 36 of the supply unit 35 is arranged so as to be located above the liquid level of the liquefied gas accumulated in the shell 15, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, if the supply pipe 36 is located above the heat transfer tube located at the bottom of the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16, it is located below the liquid level of the liquefied gas. May be good. Also in this configuration, it is possible to prevent the liquefied gas supplied into the shell 15 through the supply unit 35 from flowing out of the shell 15 through the liquid outflow unit 45 without exchanging heat with the first heating fluid in the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16. .. Therefore, heat exchange between the first heating fluid and the liquefied gas can be effectively performed in the shell 15. The position of the supply pipe 36 may be a height position between the heat transfer tube located on the uppermost side and the heat transfer tube located on the lowermost side, and the heat transfer tube located on the uppermost side and the liquid level may be positioned. It may be a height position between them.

第１～第３実施形態では、主熱交換器１１において、複数の伝熱管１６は、第１管板２２から第２管板２３に向けて、一方向に延びるように形成されているが、この構成に限られない。例えば、複数の伝熱管１６はそれぞれＵ字形に形成されていてもよい。この場合、複数の伝熱管１６の両端は第１管板２２に接続され、シェル１５において、第１管板側の端部に入口室２５及び出口室２６が隣接する構成となる。 In the first to third embodiments, in the main heat exchanger 11, the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 are formed so as to extend in one direction from the first tube plate 22 to the second tube plate 23. It is not limited to this configuration. For example, each of the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 may be formed in a U shape. In this case, both ends of the plurality of heat transfer tubes 16 are connected to the first tube plate 22, and the inlet chamber 25 and the outlet chamber 26 are adjacent to the ends of the shell 15 on the first tube plate side.
