The present invention relates to an active support for a liquefied storage tank that actively controls the length of a supporter supporting a liquefied storage tank according to thermal displacement or pressure displacement of the liquefied storage tank and the amount of liquefied residue or the inclination of the ship .
In general, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a colorless transparent cryogenic liquid which is cooled to a temperature of -162 ° C at atmospheric pressure to reduce the volume of methane (natural gas) , It is known that it is more economical for long-distance transportation because of better transportation efficiency than gas condition.
Such liquefied natural gas has been applied to large-scale and long-distance transportation in order to satisfy the economical efficiency due to the construction cost of the construction plant and carrier of the production plant. On the other hand, pipelines and CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Is known to be economical. However, transportation using pipelines is subject to geographical restrictions, environmental problems can be caused, and CNG has a disadvantage of low transportation efficiency.
In addition, natural gas has a liquefaction point of -163 ° C at atmospheric pressure, and when the pressure is applied, the liquefaction point rises above atmospheric pressure. These characteristics can reduce the processing steps such as removal of acid gas and fractionation of NGL (Natural Gas Liquid) in the liquefaction process, resulting in reduction of equipment and facility capacity, Thereby reducing the production cost.

Alternatively, a pressure measuring sensor for measuring the pressure of the liquefied storage tank may be provided, and the controller may calculate the expansion and contraction of the liquefied storage tank as the measured pressure from the pressure measuring sensor, Can be stretched and controlled.
Alternatively, a strain sensor for measuring the expansion and contraction of the liquefied storage tank may be provided, and the control unit may control expansion and contraction of the length of the support as the expansion and contraction amount measured from the strain sensor.
The liquefied storage tank may be provided with a residual amount measuring sensor for measuring the residual amount of the liquefied storage tank, and the controller may tilt the liquefied storage tank to one side when the residual loading amount measured by the residual amount measuring sensor is below a certain level The support can be stretched and controlled.
The support may be provided with an attitude measuring sensor for measuring the inclination of the hull, and the controller may control the support so that the liquefied product in the liquefied storage tank is horizontal as the inclination information of the hull measured by the attitude measuring sensor have.
The support includes a cylinder having a cylinder and one end inserted into the cylinder and the other end exposed to the outside and being expanded and contracted with respect to the cylinder under the control of the control unit. One end of the support is connected to the liquefied fuel tank, And may be respectively hinged to the hull.
The supports may be spaced apart from one another so as to support the front and rear ends or the left and right sides of the liquefied fuel tank, respectively.
According to the active support of the liquid storage tank of the present application, the following effects can be obtained.
First, the supporter actively shrinks due to the expansion and contraction of the liquefied storage tank due to temperature and pressure fluctuations, so that each supporter can be fixed to the liquefied storage tank and can respond to the expansion and contraction of the liquefied storage tank, The fixing of the storage tank can be made more rigid.
Second, the support can be expanded and contracted according to the residual amount in the liquefied storage tank, so that the liquefied storage tank can be inclined and the amount of residual fuel can be minimized.
Third, the support can be expanded and contracted so that the liquefied storage tank is inclined according to the inclination of the ship so that the liquefied product in the liquefied storage tank is leveled, thereby minimizing the slushing of the liquefied product in the liquefied storage tank.
