METHOD FOR REGASIFYING LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS WITH PREVIOUSLY DEHUMIDIFIED AMBIENT AIR

摘要

The method of vaporizing LNG consists in using previously dehumidified ambient air as a direct heat exchange fluid in a first air heat exchanger (5) for heating said LNG to a certain temperature. The dehumidification of the ambient air consists in reducing the temperature of the air in a second air heat exchanger (4) by direct heat exchange with said LNG previously heated in said first heat exchanger (5) at least to said certain temperature, said certain temperature lying approximately in the range −10° C. to −25° C.
