DEEPWELL CARGO PUMPSFOR GAS CARRIERS

PUMPING EFFICIENCY INTO CARGO OPERATIONSWärtsilä is the undisputed leader in gas carrier pump technology. Our deepwell cargo pumps can handle all cargoes including LPG, LNG, ammonia, ethane and ethylene. 90% of the world’s LPG fleet depends on Wärtsilä Svanehøj deepwell cargo pump technology. With such a depth of experience across vessel and cargo types, we are the natural choice for high quality, safe and reliable systems with strong environmental performance that offer excellent lifetime value and complete peace of mind.

When absolute confidence in offloading safety and efficiency are critical, Wärtsilä Svanehøj is the natural choice among gas carriers worldwide for deepwell and cargo booster pumps. Our dedicated project teams deliver solutions for vessels from the smallest fully pressurized push barges and dedicated CO

2 carriers to the largest

fully refrigerated VLGCs, FLNG’s and FRSU’s. Our pumps handle all types of cargo at all temperatures and specific gravities without any component changes, offering potentially huge cost savings.

Our range spans:• Fully pressurised tankers, cargo at ambient temperature, tank pressure up to 18 bar.• Fully refrigerated atmospheric tankers, cargo cooled to saturation temperature (typically -48°C - 88°C).• Semi-refrigerated tankers, cargo liquefied by cooling/pressure process down to -104°C.• We lead in long-shafted pumps for LNG at -163°C.

AN UNRIVALLED MIX OF ADVANTAGES

• Wärtsilä Svanehøj deepwell cargo pumps are used for offloading liquid gas on gas carriers and barges up to 100,000 m3.

• On-deck electric motors.

• Each pump optimised to the duty point by trimmed impellers or variable speed drives.

• All stainless steel components in gas tank.

• Our flexible pump solutions are designed to handle various cargo types with a wide span in temperature and specific gravity. There is no need for time consuming adaptions of the pump or replacement of seals and bearings, which is sometimes the case for other pump types.

• Maintenance and repair of bearings and shaft seals even with cargo in the tank.

• 4,000+ pumps installed on more than 1,000 ships – lifetime-of-the- ship reliability. Q (m3/h)

CAPACITY RANGE

Please note that the above curves are valid for any gas type, but the pumps have a maximum design pressure of 18 Barg.

• Typical Applications: The NMB series of pumps acts as boosters, to increase discharging pressure when offloading lighter cargoes, i.e. low specific gravity cargoes.

• Capacities up to 1,200m3/h at up to 180 mlc - the ideal choice for liquid gas where a booster is required. • Designed for liquid gas installed on fully and semi pressurised as well as fully and semi refrigerated carriers.

The shaft sealing arrangement is based on the principle of communicating vessels. By adding the force of a spring into the equation we ensure that the pressure in the sealing system is always higher than the tank pressure, thereby preventing cargo leakages.

1. PRESSURE GAUGESThe system is equipped with 2 pressure gauges.a) Indicates the pressure in the cargo tank. b) Indicates the pressure in the sealing oil chamber, this pressure will always be higher than the cargo tank pressure.

2. LEVEL INDICATORThe piston inside the sight glass follows the movement of the spring and thereby indicates the oil level in the sealing system. Can be delivered with low oil level switch for remote alarm.

3. PRESSURE BOOSTERFully automatic system where the sealing oil is put under pressure from both the cargo tank and the spring. This ensures that the pressure within the sealing chamber is always higher than in the cargo tank.

4. CARGO TANK PRESSUREThrough this pipe the cargo tank pressure (vapour pressure) is added directly to the spring house.

5. DOUBLE MECHANICAL SEALSBack to back mechanical seals lubricated by pressurised sealing oil.

6. STATIC SEALUsed only for maintenance purposes. The shaft can be lowered to a point where the static seal completely seals of the cargo hence making it possible to do maintenance, such as changing the mechanical seals, even with a full cargo tank.

7. LEAK OIL COLLECTION CHAMBERIn the event of a damaged lower mechanical seal the collection chamber will be able to obtain all the sealing oil in the system so that none of it contaminates the cargo. The leaked oil can be drained from the chamber through the lower valve.

8. LEAK OIL OUTLETSealing oil “bleeding” from this pipe indicates that the upper sealing may be damaged and needs to be changed.

9. SEALING OIL CHAMBERThe chamber is air cooled, which needs a large surface, an aluminum block has been fitted into the chamber to reduce the inside volume so it does not exceed the volume in the collection chamber. The sealing oil is constantly circulated during pump operation by a helical ridge on the shaft.

10. OIL INLETFilling of sealing oil will load the spring and thereby increase pressure. The inlet is equipped with quick coupling for easy filling and refilling of sealing oil by a special Svanehøj manually operated pump. One pump per ship set is included.
