JIP CRYTRANSFER
Collaboratieve research on LNG bunkering with hoses | Bas van den Beemt
BACKGROUND: JIP CRYTRANFER
LNG transfer with cryogenic hoses is an enabling operation for
offshore LNG bunkering:
Determining the safe operating envelope for offshore LNG bunkering, is a
key uncertainty in offshore LNG bunkering operations;
Limited data available from large bore (>8”) offshore LNG transfer systems
(EN1474) testing and qualification (e.g. dynamic stiffness and pressure
drop);
Testing at cryogenic conditions and with LNG flow is inevitable for
validation of ‘mechanical’ and ‘flow’ hose models.
In addition: LNG flow testing offers a platform to evaluate the accuracy of
in-line flow measurement systems and its process design.

Building block program static hose testing Determine ‘hose end fitting loads’ and ‘hose
shape and deformation’ for different offshore
LNG bunkering configurations with hoses;
Determine generic operating envelope for
Offshore LNG bunkering (e.g. reach and sea
conditions);

RESEARCH APPROACH: MECHANICAL HOSE MODEL
Define and execute test to characterise the hose stiffness
Tension/torsion and (shallow) bending;
Stiffness will be a function of pressure, temperature and hose service life
Develop a FE model based om beam element
Description of material model based on measured data
Test cases in TNO’s choice of software
Verification of FE predictions on 1 / 2 example configurations
End fitting loads
Hose shape; local deformations
Feasibility

FLOW MODEL: GOAL II
Improved model for pressure drop at LNG transfer conditions
Determine friction coefficient as function of pressure
Optimize diameter and flow rate for LNG transfer with hoses
Additional: Determine accuracy of in-line LNG flow measurement:
Comparison flow metering: e.g. Coriolis, Ultrasonic, level

Optimise process design for LNG bunkering with hoses
Advise on adjusting standards/guidelines on pressure loss
