NATURAL GAS HYDRATE LOADING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: An NGH(Natural Gas Hydrate) loading device is provided to reduce the maintenance cost of an NGH carrier by directly loading NGH into a cargo hold of the NGH carrier with a loading device installed outside the NGH carrier. CONSTITUTION: An NGH loading device comprises a transfer pipe loading unit(10), a transfer pipe(20), and a cargo hold connector(30). The transfer pipe loading unit is arranged in a loading pier of NGH. The transfer pipe loading unit horizontally moves the transfer pipe along the loading pier and controls the height of the transfer pipe. One end of the transfer pipe is connected to a conveyor belt, and the other end thereof is connected to the cargo hold connector of an NGH carrier. A rotatable bucket is installed in an internal space of a body of the transfer pipe. The cargo hold connector is connected to the other end of the transfer pipe so that the NGH can be loaded into a cargo hold by the other end of the transfer pipe.
