AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, the liquefaction effect is poor due to the large number of pipelines during the BOG reliquefaction process, resulting in the problem of LNG being revaporized into BOG.

Method used

By using liquid nitrogen for heat exchange between the LNG storage tank and the nitrogen storage tank, combined with the ventilation motor and the valve motor to control the flow of BOG, and combined with the compression assembly to achieve the reuse of liquid nitrogen, the liquefaction efficiency and accuracy are improved.

Benefits of technology

This improved the liquefaction efficiency of BOG, saved resources, reduced costs, and ensured the transportation effect and liquefaction accuracy of LNG.
