20090199576 | PROCESS AND PLANT FOR THE VAPORIZATION OF LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS AND STORAGE THEREOF - A process and plant for the vaporization of liquefied natural gas (LNG) consist in obtaining electric energy during the vaporization operation by means of thermal exchange by transformation means of an energy source for obtaining electric power. | 08-13-2009 |
20090249799 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INCREASING EFFICIENCY OF A GAS TURBINE AND A MARINE STRUCTURE HAVING THE SAME - An apparatus and method for increasing efficiency of a gas turbine and a marine structure having the gas turbine are disclosed. The marine structure has a cargo tank for storing cryogenic liquefied natural gas (LNG) and a gas turbine for generating electric power. The marine structure further includes a heat exchanger to cool air for combustion supplied to the gas turbine using a cold source or cold heat of the LNG stored in the cargo tank, a heat transfer medium circuit to indirectly transfer the cold source of the LNG stored in the cargo tank to the heat exchanger, and a heater to heat a heat transfer medium having undergone heat exchange with the air for combustion while passing through the heat exchanger. The temperature of air supplied to the gas turbine is lowered using the cold source generated upon regasification of LNG in the marine structure, thereby increasing the efficiency of the gas turbine. | 10-08-2009 |
