LNG (LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS) AND LIN (LIQUID NITROGEN) IN TRANSIT REFRIGERATION HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM

摘要

A heat exchanger includes a housing disposed in a first atmosphere and having an upstream end, a downstream end and a chamber within the housing; a metallic block disposed in the chamber and having a passageway therethrough and through which a cryogen can flow; and a heat pipe assembly in contact with the metallic block and extending to a second atmosphere which is separate from the first atmosphere for providing heat transfer at the second atmosphere.
