Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006098630A1] A system for cooling a boil-off gas (BOG) stream prior to compression in a boil-off reliquefaction plant, comprising a line (10) for feeding BOG into a compressor (11; 11") prior to heat exchange with a closed-loop refrigeration system. The refrigeration system comprising compressors (2, 3, 4) and expanders(8, 9) and a number of heat ex-changers for heat exchange with the BOG stream. The expanders (8, 9) are arranged in series. A precooler in the feed line (10) is fluidly connected (32, 33) to the closed-loop refrigeration system, whereby said BOG is pre-cooled in heat exchange with a portion of the coolant in the closed-loop refrigeration system prior to said compression.
