The invention discloses a liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold energy-driving seawater desalination device and method with double functions of vaporization and freezing. The operating principle of the device is based on the characteristic that the phase equilibrium pressure of water vapor decreases along with the decrease of the temperature, the cold energy of LNG is utilized to realize low temperature and vacuum, the water vapor on the surface of the raw material seawater is pumped to promote the vaporization of seawater and the endothermal effect of the vaporization process is utilized to ensure that the raw material seawater is frozen, i.e., fresh water is separated from seawater through the two phase transition processes of vaporization and freezing. The device mainly comprises a water pump, a filter, a degassing tower, an air-precooled heat exchanger, a vaporization-crystallization device, a crystallizer, a scrubbing separator, a melting device, a vacuum pump and the like. The deviceis mainly characterized in that LNG cold energy driving is adopted, gas-liquid-solid separation is performed at the triple point of seawater, and high-quality fresh water and sea icy freshwater are obtained; and the device has the advantages of cold energy cascaded utilization, higher energy efficiency, higher fresh water yield and the like. In addition, an LNG receiving station is usually built by the sea and has good geopolitical combinability with a seawater desalination project.
