Performance Analysis of Oxygen Refrigerant in an LNG BOG Re-liquefaction Plant
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an LNG BOG re-liquefaction system operating according to the Claude refrigeration cycle using oxygen as refrigerant is analysed. It includes a comprehensive exergy analysis of a BOG reliquefaction system installed onboard an LNG carrier. Commonly operating data have been used to carry out a thermodynamic analysis of the system. The system is basically made of two parts: Oxygen cycle and LNG BOG cycle. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Selection and/or peer-review under responsibility of [name organizer]

Process Modelling and Validation of LNG Re-Liquefaction
During transportation, there will be vaporization of LNG producing boil-off gas (BOG) and its re-liquefaction is required considering that large volume of BOG to be vented out. A cryogenic refrigeration cycle is utilized in order to re-liquefy the BOG and returns it to the cargo tank. Kapitza and claude are the usually used LNG re-liquefaction cycles. The developments in the processes adopted f...
متن کاملOptimal Synthesis of a Cascade Refrigeration System of LNG Through MINLP Model for Pure Refrigerant Cycles
 liquefied natural gas (LNG) is the most economical way of transporting natural gas (NG) over long distances. Liquefaction of NG by using vapor compression refrigeration system requires high operating and capital cost. Due to lack of systematic design methods for multistage refrigeration cycles, the conventional approaches of determining optimal cycle configuration are mostly based on trial-an...
