Technical principle
Natural gas must be provided at about ambient temperature and be gaseous for its use, e.g. for driving a combined heat and power plant (CHP). Normally, LNG evaporates in an air evaporator absorbing heat from the environment. High-value cold is lost to atmosphere.
The LNGcold advancedREGAS system recovers deep cold down to -60°C warming up LNG to be regasified and provides the recycled cold energy for external use. No other heat source like sea water or burned gas is needed, and no CO2 is emitted. The LNG temperature is increased, icing is significantly reduced.
The recovered cold energy is transferred without an electric compressor solely by heat transfer from the vaporised gas to a brine circuit that can supply multiple consumers with different effective temperature levels.
