  • Patent number: 9695984
    Abstract: A plant for regasification of LNG includes a pump boosting LNG pressure, an LNG/coolant heat exchanger producing NG from LNG from the boosting pumps, and a closed coolant loop extending through the LNG/coolant heat exchanger and including a heat exchanger. The coolant from the heat exchanger is passed through the LNG heat exchanger as a gas and leaving in a condensed state to produce NG by thermal exchange. A heating medium is used within the heat exchanger to provide coolant in a gaseous state. An NG/coolant heat exchanger is arranged in connection with the LNG/coolant heat exchanger and is connected to the closed coolant loop. LNG is preheated within the LNG/coolant heat exchanger and NG is trim heated within the NG/coolant heat exchanger using liquid coolant from at least one heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20120222430
    Abstract: A plant for regasification of LNG includes at least one pump boosting LNG pressure; an LNG/coolant heat exchanger producing NG from LNG being flowed from the boosting pumps; a closed coolant loop extending through the LNG/coolant heat exchanger and including at least one heat exchanger, a coolant from the respective heat exchanger being passed through the LNG heat exchanger as a gas and leaving in a condensed state as to produce NG by thermal exchange; and a heating medium being used within the respective heat exchanger as to provide coolant in a gaseous state. An NG/coolant heat exchanger is arranged in connection with the LNG/coolant heat exchanger and is connected to the closed coolant loop, whereby LNG is preheated within the LNG/coolant heat exchanger and NG is trim heated within the NG/coolant heat exchanger using liquid coolant from at least one heat exchanger.
