Ship
Abstract:
A ship including a storage tank for storing a liquefied gas includes: a boil-off gas (BOG) heat exchanger installed on a downstream of a storage tank and heat-exchanges a compressed BOG (“a first fluid”) by a BOG discharged from the storage tank as a refrigerant, to cool the BOG; a compressor installed on a downstream of the BOG heat exchanger and compresses a part of the BOG discharged from the storage tank; an extra compressor installed on a downstream of the BOG heat exchanger and in parallel with the compressor and compresses the other part of the BOG discharged from the storage tank; a refrigerant heat exchanger which additionally cools the first fluid cooled by the BOG heat exchanger; and a refrigerant decompressing device which expands a second fluid sent to the refrigerant heat exchanger, and then sends the second fluid back to the refrigerant heat exchanger.
