2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a liquefied gas container (hereinafter referred to as "container") for containing liquefied petroleum gas, a container inspection such as pressure resistance or airtightness, which is stipulated by law, is performed. Therefore, it is necessary to completely remove the residual gas in the container, that is, the vaporized gas and the liquefied gas, before conducting the inspection. Since these liquefied petroleum gases are flammable, there is a danger of explosion when released into the atmosphere, and since the liquid content usually contains oil content, the discharge of the liquid content causes a particular odor. It is necessary to completely recover the residual gas in the container because the problem of water pollution is severe.

As a conventional device for recovering the residual gas in the container, for example, the device disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 48-9409 is known. When this apparatus is shown in FIG. 3, 100 is a container, 101 is a first gas recovery pipe,
102 is a fractionating tank, 103 is a second gas recovery pipe, 104 is a compressor, 105 is a cooler, and 106 is a storage tank. When the compressor 104 is driven during operation to suck the vaporized gas in the vapor phase portion in the fractionation tank 102, the vapor phase portion in the fractionation tank 102 is decompressed, whereby the container 1
00 and the fractionating tank 102 generate a pressure difference, and the container 100
The liquid phase portion therein flows into the fractionating tank 102, and further vaporized gas subsequently flows therein. The vaporized gas in the fractionating tank 102 sucked by the compressor 104 is cooled by the cooler 105.
At the same time, it is cooled and heat energy is taken away, so that it is liquefied and recovered in the storage tank 106. The vaporized gas in the storage tank 106 is returned to the first gas recovery pipe 101 via the vaporized gas recovery pipe 107.

However, in the recovery device shown in FIG.
Since the heat of vaporization is required when the liquefied gas in the fractionating tank 102 is vaporized, the temperature in the fractionating tank 102 is lowered, which slows the vaporization rate of the liquefied gas and finally the vaporization stops. The liquefied gas may fill up, so the operation of the device must be interrupted until the temperature recovers,
Especially in winter, the interruption time becomes long, and there is a drawback that the residual gas cannot be collected smoothly. Further, when the inside of the container is washed after the residual gas is collected, the adhered components inside the container are released together with the chemicals and steam, which causes a problem that the odor diffuses.

Particularly, regarding the liquefied gas stored in the first storage tank 6, the pressure inside the storage tanks 6 and 7 is increased by the operation of the compressor 31, and the liquefied gas is caused to flow into the second storage tank 7 due to the pressure difference between the storage tanks 6 and 7. Therefore, when the amount of the vaporized gas to be fractionated is increased, the load on the compressor 31 is also greatly increased, and the liquefied gas is initially collected in the second storage tank 7. In the latter half, however, there is a problem that the temperature and pressure inside the recovery pipe 65 become high due to the collision of molecules with the inner wall of the container and the collision between molecules, and the inflow of liquefied gas is stopped.

According to such residual gas recovery method and apparatus,
From the residual gas discharged from the container, the liquid component that has flowed into the fractionation tank receives the heat from the heat exchange section and is vaporized, and is introduced into the compressor via the vaporized gas recovery pipe and compressed,
The temperature of the vaporized gas rises, and heat is deprived of the vaporized gas in the heat exchange section to be liquefied. The liquefied gas is sent to the storage tank through the liquefied gas take-out pipe, and is led to the vicinity of the bottom of this storage tank where it is released.At this time, by supplying cooling water to the water cooling pipe installed in the storage tank, The fractionated vaporized gas contained in is cooled, and the recovery rate of the liquefied gas in the storage tank is increased. Therefore, even in the summer when the ambient temperature rises, the collection speed of the liquefied gas in the storage tank is prevented from decreasing due to insufficient heat exchange in the fractionation tank, and the load on the compressor is reduced. The cooling action is further enhanced by projecting the cooling fins on the water-cooling pipe installed in the storage tank.
