The storage tank for storing liquefied gas such as Natural Liquefied Gas (LNG) or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and the like is provided around the inside of the storage tank and the outside of the storage tank Perfect insulation is impossible. Therefore, boil off gas (BOG) is continuously generated in the storage tank due to heat exchange inside and outside the storage tank.

Therefore, it is necessary to discharge or evaporate the evaporated gas to the outside. However, the process of re-liquefaction of such evaporated gas does not occur by itself. Especially, equipment for re-liquefaction of evaporation gas consumes power because it requires energy. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the energy consumed in the equipment for compressing the evaporative gas in terms of power saving.

2 is a view showing an evaporative gas remelting apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention will be described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is to be understood that various modifications and equivalent embodiments may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be defined only by the appended claims.

FIG. 1 is a view showing an evaporative gas remelting apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing an evaporating gas remelting apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As will be described later, the evaporation gas remelting apparatus shown in FIG. 1 uses a separate refrigerant to re-liquefy the evaporation gas, whereas the evaporation gas re-liquefying apparatus shown in FIG. 2 uses the evaporation gas discharged from the storage tank Partial Re-liquefaction device that re-liquefies evaporated gas using cold heat of gas. First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The liquefied gas stored in the storage tank is not limited to liquefied natural gas but may be a liquefied natural gas such as liquefied petroleum gas (hereinafter, referred to as " liquefied natural gas " It contains all kinds of liquefied gas.

1, the apparatus for liquefying vaporized gas according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a storage tank 1 for storing LNG and discharging vapor generated from LNG, A cooler 30 for supplying a coolant for re-liquefying the evaporated gas by heat exchange with the evaporated gas, a heat exchanger 30 for exchanging heat between the evaporated gas discharged from the storage tank 1 and the refrigerant discharged from the cooler 30, A compressor 10 provided between the storage tank 1 and the heat exchanger 20 for compressing the evaporated gas discharged from the storage tank 1 and a refrigerant discharged from the storage tank 1 And a nitrogen filter 40 for separating the nitrogen. At this time, the nitrogen filter 40 may be provided between the compressor 10 and the heat exchanger 20. The nitrogen filter 40 may include a membrane (not shown) capable of separating nitrogen separately depending on the size of the molecules. Also, although not shown in FIG. 1, the nitrogen collected in the nitrogen filter 40 may be discharged to the outside or stored in a separate nitrogen storage device (not shown), and then used for other purposes. Hereinafter, the operation of the evaporation gas remelting apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The evaporated gas discharged from the storage tank (1) is pressurized while passing through the compressor (10). The pressurized evaporation gas is supplied to the nitrogen filter (40). As described above, nitrogen can be more efficiently separated from the pressurized evaporated gas in the compressor 10 when the nitrogen filter 40 is capable of separating the nitrogen separately according to the size of the molecules. That is, the evaporation gas is separated into nitrogen and methane as it passes through the membrane separating the molecules according to the size of the molecules. The higher the pressure of the evaporation gas, the more efficient this separation takes place.

The nitrogen separated from the nitrogen filter 40 is discharged to the outside as described above or stored in a separate nitrogen storage device (not shown), and the nitrogen-separated evaporated gas is supplied to the heat exchanger 20. In the heat exchanger (20), the refrigerant supplied from the cooling device (30) and the evaporated gas from which nitrogen is separated heat-exchange and the evaporated gas is liquefied.

According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the liquefaction performance is improved as compared with the case where the evaporation gas is supplied to the heat exchanger 20 without separating nitrogen. That is, in the heat exchanger 20, not only the methane as the main component of the evaporative gas but also the nitrogen is cooled, whereas when the nitrogen is removed from the evaporative gas, only the evaporative gas excluding nitrogen is cooled in the heat exchanger 20 The cold heat of the refrigerant can be used more efficiently. Therefore, ultimately, the power required for evaporating the gas re-liquefaction can be saved. Thereafter, the refrigerant discharged from the heat exchanger 20 is supplied again to the cooling device 30, cooled, and then supplied to the heat exchanger 20 again. Further, the liquefied evaporated gas is supplied again to the storage tank 1.

In this case, the power consumed by the compressor 10 is also reduced. That is, when the nitrogen filter 40 is provided between the storage tank 1 and the compressor 10, only the evaporated gas in which nitrogen is separated is supplied to the compressor 10, and in the compressor 10, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > compress < / RTI > of nitrogen. Therefore, power consumed in the evaporative gas remelting apparatus is reduced.

2 is a view showing an evaporative gas remelting apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As described above, FIG. 2 shows a partial re-liquefaction apparatus for re-liquefying evaporated gas using the cold heat of the evaporated gas discharged from the storage tank without a separate refrigerant, unlike FIG.

However, the quantity of such compressors 100, 102, 104, and 106 and the coolers 110, 112, 114, 116 is exemplary only and may include more than four compressors or coolers. Alternatively, instead of a plurality of compressors, one multi-stage compressor may be used. For example, the multi-stage compressor may be a multi-stage compressor that compresses the evaporation gas into four stages.

Further, downstream of the fourth compressor 106, as shown in FIG. 2, may include a nitrogen filter 150 for separating nitrogen from the evaporated gas discharged from the fourth compressor 106.
