Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2372221A1] Boil-Off Gas re-condenser comprising a vessel (15) comprises two separated zones with no interference between them: - a re-condensing packing contact zone (11), located in a top section of the vessel (15), which houses a packing bed (7), in which Boil Off Gas, coming from a Boil Off Gas compressors discharge (14), is in contact with Liquefied Natural Gas (22), taken from the discharge of LP pumps (32), for re-condensation. - a lower accumulation zone (12), located in a lower section of the vessel (15), which serves as a liquid hold-up drum for the HP Liquefied Natural Gas pumps, in which it is introduced the surplus of Liquefied Natural Gas (23) up to half maximum send-out via a level control valve (3), so that the surplus of Liquefied Natural Gas (24) from half maximum send-out, bypasses the re-condenser via a flow control bypass (24):
