Embodiment Construction
[0036] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037]For LNG fueled ships, efficient use of boil-off gas is a very important issue, not only in terms of economic feasibility, but also in terms of environment. If the boil-off gas (BOG) generated in LNG-fueled ships is not properly treated, the boil-off gas must be vented into the atmosphere to protect the storage tanks. BOG is mainly composed of methane gas, whose global warming index is about 23 times higher than that of carbon dioxide, so the emission of BOG from LNG fueled ships must be strictly limited.
[0038] Although screw compressors or reciprocating compressors can be used to process the boil-off gas of LNG fueled ships, these compressors cannot directly handle the low-temperature boil-off gas, or may contaminate the LNG product due to lubricating oil. When the capacity of the centrifugal compressor is small, it is difficult to imple...
