Abstract

A warm-up system for liquefied gas storage containers is operable as a closed cycle and comprises a reservoir containing a liquid heat transfer medium, pumping equipment for transferring the liquid from the reservoir to a vaporiser where the liquid is vaporised at an elevated pressure, and heat exchange elements within the storage containers for indirect heat exchange with the cold of said containers. The heat transfer medium for LNG is preferably a petroleum hydrocarbon such as isopentane and the vapour fed from the vaporisor may be adjusted to balance the heating rates of the containers.
