Method and system of fuel feed as liquefied natural gas to ship

Изобретение относится к области транспортировки по морю сжиженных газов, в частности сжиженных газов с температурой кипения выше ­48°C. Для обеспечения топлива в виде сжиженного природного газа для судна (1, 6) используют первый сжиженный газ. По меньшей мере одну грузовую цистерну (2, 7) используют для второго сжиженного газа (груза). Первый сжиженный газ имеет более низкую температуру кипения, чем второй. Тепло для испарения и/или нагрева первого сжиженного газа частично отбирают от содержимого грузовой цистерны. Часть тепла получают посредством теплообмена с испарениями содержимого грузовой цистерны и конденсации этих испарений. Достигается безопасность использования судна для окружающей среды, уменьшение количества охлаждающих модулей для повторного сжижения и соответствующих трубопроводных и электрокабельных систем, уменьшение затрат энергии. 2 н. и 13 з.п. ф-лы, 8 ил.
