CRYOGENIC FLUID TRANSFER TUNNEL ASSEMBLY AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a cryogenic fluid transfer tunnel (10) that can be used as a liquefied natural gas (LNG) transfer tunnel. A lining jacket (20) is provided, wherein a cryogenic fluid carrier line (30) and one or more voids (50) comprising cryogenic insulating material (60) are located. A method of installing such a tunnel and a method of cooling a cryogenic fluid carrier line in such a tunnel is also described.
