| 摘要 |
An LNG carrier for transporting LNG from one location to another that includ es a vaporizer (23) on board said LNG carrier for vaporizing the LNG to a gaseo us state, one or more heat exchangers (21) at least partially submerged in seawater, an intermediate fluid circulating between the vaporizer (23) and said heat exchanger (21), and one or more pumps (22) for circulating said intermediate fluid is disclosed. A method of regasifying LNG while on board an LNG carrier is provided that includes circulating an intermediate fluid between a vaporizer (23) on board the LNG carrier and a submerged heat exchanger (21), heating the LNG to a temperature above its vaporization temperature using heat energy carried by said intermediate fluid and heating the intermediate fluid using heat energy supplied by the submerged or partially submerged heat exchanger (21). |
