LNG Overfill Prevention & HHL Alarm — How LNG Carriers Stay Safe at −163°C
Imagine a giant thermos at −163°C that will expand 600× if it vaporises — and one missed alarm can risk everything. This episode explains LNG overfill prevention and the HHL alarm systems that stop catastrophic vaporisation by design.
Dive into LNG overfill prevention and the HHL alarm systems that protect liquefied natural gas carriers. We break down the IGC Code and SOLAS requirements, explain why the HHL alarm must be functionally independent, and show how SIL2 safety instrumented systems, 2‑out‑3 voting logic and sensor diversity (float, guided‑wave radar, free‑space radar, capacitance) combine to prevent catastrophic overfill. Hear practical failure modes — icing, sloshing, vapour cushions, cable wicking — and learn exactly how proof testing, ESD integration and latched HMI alarms keep ships safe. Essential listening for anyone involved in LNG safety, shipboard risk management or functional safety engineering.
