    Abstract: A cryogenic tank assembly includes a cryogenic tank having an internal volume that is configured to contain liquefied natural gas (LNG). The cryogenic tank includes an inlet and an outlet that are each fluidly connected to the internal volume. The assembly includes a recirculation conduit coupled in fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet. The recirculation conduit extends along a path between the inlet and outlet external to the internal volume of the cryogenic tank such that the path is configured to be exposed to an ambient environment of the cryogenic tank. The recirculation conduit is configured to: receive a flow of LNG from the internal volume through the outlet; transfer heat from the ambient environment to the LNG flow to change the LNG flow to a flow of natural gas; and inject the natural gas flow into the internal volume of the cryogenic tank through the inlet.

    Abstract translation: 低温罐组件包括具有构造成容纳液化天然气(LNG)的内部容积的低温罐。 低温罐包括各自流体地连接到内部容积的入口和出口。 组件包括在入口和出口之间流体连通地连接的再循环管道。 再循环管道沿着位于低温罐内部容积外部的入口和出口之间的路径延伸,使得该路径被配置为暴露于低温罐的周围环境。 再循环管道构造成:从内部容积通过出口接收LNG流; 将热量从周围环境转移到LNG流,以将LNG流转换成天然气流; 并通过入口将天然气流注入低温罐的内部容积。

    Abstract: A turbine system (100) includes a compressor section (104), an inlet cooling system (122) coupled upstream of the compressor section (104) and configured to cool ambient air entering the compressor section (104), and a turbine section (108) coupled in flow communication with the compressor section (104) and including at least one hot gas path component (140). The system further includes a controller (144) configured to receive feedback parameters indicative of a temperature of the at least one hot gas path component (140), estimate a remaining life of the at least one hot gas path component (140) based on the received feedback parameters, determine a desired power output of the turbine system (100) based on the estimated remaining life of the at least one hot gas path component (140) and a cooling capacity of the inlet cooling system (122), and control operation of the turbine system (100) to cause the turbine system (100) to generate the desired power output.
