Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of recovery and utilization of LNG cold energy and low-temperature waste heat, in particular to a numerical method for optimizing the performance of an organic Rankine cycle system. Background technique

[0002] According to the 2020 report of the International Organization of Importers of Liquefied Natural Gas (GIIGNL), global LNG imports reached 354.7 million tons in 2019, with an annual growth rate of 13%. Liquefied natural gas is playing an increasingly important role in the global energy market due to its high storage energy density, ease of transportation and low greenhouse gas emissions.

[0003] Under one atmospheric pressure, the liquefaction temperature of natural gas is about -162°C, so the liquefaction process of natural gas is very energy-intensive. With the current LNG production process, the energy consumption of producing one ton of LNG is about 850kW·h. At the LNG receiving end, LNG cannot be used as...
