A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING WARM LPG CARGO

摘要

A method for the handling of warm LPG cargo in at least one cargo tank (100, 110, 120) situated on board a LPC carrier, preferentially during loading, comprising re liquefying vapour released from the cargo within the at least one cargo tank (100, 110, 120) by means of at least one re liquefaction unit (130, 140, 150) including a condenser (170); and returning re liquefied vapour into the at least one cargo tank (100, 110, 120). The method further comprises operating the at least one re liquefaction unit (130, 140, 150) and the condenser (170) in non-refrigeration modus as to only compress and condense vapour; and flowing warm condensate from the condenser (170) into a deck tank (160). A corresponding system has been disclosed.
