Heat Transfer Analysis and Operation Optimization of an Intermediate Fluid Vaporizer

An intermediate fluid vaporizer (IFV) is a typical of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which used in large number LNG terminals. Since it requires supply seawater during its operation, generates lot energy consumption. In this study, to reduce the consumption regasification system, heat transfer process was first numerically calculated, and coefficient IFV determined for different inlet temperatures, flow rates, rates. The calculation results were integrated into numerical model HYSYS, minimum under working conditions obtained. For receiving terminals using multiple IFVs, study programmed calculations based on optimization software. operating configuration IFVs optimized system
