Abstract:
The sea-going vessel comprises one or more engines (9, 11a, 11b, 11c), of which at least one is operable using a first fuel and at least one using a second fuel, the engine(s) (9, 11a, 11b, 11c) being configured to receive the first fuel in liquid state and the second fuel in gaseous state or as a supercritical fluid. A first fuel tank (1) for the first fuel is arranged on a first side of the vessel, a second fuel tank (2) for the first fuel is ar- ranged on a second side of the vessel, and a third fuel tank (3) for the second fuel is arranged between the first fuel tank (1) and the second fuel tank (2). The fuel tanks (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) are separated by a transverse bulkhead (12) from an engine (8) room of the vessel.
Abstract:
Herein a floating vessel is disclosed. The floating vessel comprises a deck member and a tank for liquefied hydrocarbon gas such as LNG. The tank extends through the deck member, and the tank is supported by the deck member, suspended at less than 1/3 of a total height of the tank, seen from the top of the tank.
Abstract:
A system for preventing overflow in a storage tank which is tillable via a nozzle includes a nozzle receiver configured to fit within a fill passage of a storage tank. The system further includes at least one seal disposed in the nozzle receiver configured to seal the nozzle within the nozzle receiver. The system has a first passage and a second passage. The first passage is configured to fit at least partially within the fill passage of a storage tank and receive at least a portion of a flow of liquid from the nozzle. The second passage is in communication with the first passage. The system also includes a valve having a first position that directs liquid to flow through the first passage and a second position that directs liquid to flow through the second passage.
Abstract:
본 발명은 선박이나 연료탱크 등에 사고에 의해 구멍이 생겼을 경우에 이 구멍을 신속히 봉쇄함으로써 피해의 확대를 최소화하기 위한 파공 봉쇄장치에 관한 것이다. 그 구성은; 선체 또는 탱크의 벽체가 파공되어 구멍이 생긴 경우 외부에서 이 구멍을 긴급하게 봉쇄하기 위한 장치로서; 상기 구멍에 끼워지는 센터봉; 상기 센터봉의 전방에 설치되는 것으로서, 상기 센터봉이 상기 구멍에 끼워진 상태에서 펼침덮개를 우산처럼 펼침으로써 상기 구멍 주변의 내측면이 상기 펼침덮개에 의해 덮여지도록 하는 제1방수부; 상기 제1방수부의 후방에 위치되도록 상기 센터봉에 끼워져 설치되는 것으로서, 상기 구멍을 폐쇄시키기 위한 구멍폐쇄부를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다.
Abstract:
Various apparatus and techniques for cooling fuels,and obtaining fuel mixtures onboard marine vessels are provided. The fuel may comprise a low-flashpoint liquid, such as an alcohol like methanol or ethanol. Waste heat from the marine vessel engine may be used to power the cooling apparatus. The low-flashpoint liquid may be mixed with an ether component to obtain a marine vessel engine fuel mixture. An ISO tank may be configured to store a low-flashpoint fuel component.
Abstract:
A spill resistant fuel supply system (16) for a marine engine (12). The system (16) includes a generally sealed housing (46) in which is disposed a vapor separator (26), a high pressure pump (28) and/or a suction pump (24). The housing (46) prevents fuel that might leak from these components from openly collecting in the marine vessel (10). The housing (46) includes one or more walls (48, 50, 52) formed with included air columns (58) which act as thermal barriers to reduce the amount of heat energy transferred from the outside in. The included air columns (58) are preferably arrayed in side-by-side fashion and closed at both ends to trap air therein.

Abstract:
A fuel overflow prevention device for minimizing or eliminating fuel spillage during fuel storage container filling. The device may also minimize or eliminate some types of fuel spillage after filling. The device includes an overflow prevention chamber for receiving therein fluid from a fuel storage container vent tube. The overflow prevention chamber also includes a space for removably receiving and retaining therein the spout of an automatic shutoff fuel nozzle including a sensor port. A flow restriction interface is established between an interior portion of the overflow prevention chamber and the exit port of the spout. Fluid received from the vent tube into the overflow prevention chamber fills the space until covering the sensor port to a level sufficient to trigger automatic nozzle shutoff. The device optionally includes a vent tube extension to aid in regulating the fuel level within the container at which nozzle shutoff is triggered.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Leckage-Abdichtvorrichtung (1) zum Abdichten einer Leckage in einem Behälter, Tank und/oder Rohr (40, 49) umfassend: eine gehäuseartige Trägereinheit (3), wenigstens ein an einem Endbereich der Trägereinheit (3) vorgesehenes, expandierbares Leckage- Abdichtmittel (13), das in seiner Lagerposition nicht oder nur geringfügig expandiert ist, und wenigstens einen Fluidanschluss (21) und/oder wenigstens eine Fluidabgabeeinheit (23), der/die mit der Trägereinheit (3) derart gekoppelt ist, dass bei Fluidzufuhr Fluid das Leckage-Abdichtmittel (13) in dessen Abdichtposition über eine Fluidzuleitung (5) wenigstens teilweise mit dem Fluid befüllt und expandiert.
