An apparatus for use on board ship to reliquefy a compressed vapour employs pre-assemblies of components. The reliquefaction is effected in a closed cycle in which a working fluid is compressed in at least one compressor 22, 24, 26, is cooled in a first heat exchanger 40, is expanded in a turbine 28 and is warmed in a second heat exchanger 46, in which the compressed vapour is at least partially condensed. The apparatus comprises a first pre-assembly 72 including the second heat exchanger 40 and a second pre-assembly 82 including the first heat exchanger 46, the compressor 22, 24, 26 and the expansion turbine 28 are positioned. The pre-assemblies 72 and 82 are positioned on respective platforms 70 and 80. <IMAGE> |
