    摘要: A system and method for reliquefying boil-off gas of a vessel are disclosed. The system for reliquefying boil-off gas includes: a compressor provided to the vessel and compressing boil-off gas generated in a storage tank storing liquefied gas; a reliquefaction line extending from the compressor to the storage tank and reliquefying compressed gas to deliver reliquefied gas to the storage tank; a heat exchanger provided to the reliquefaction line and receiving and cooling the compressed gas; a first refrigerant compression part compressing a refrigerant discharged from the heat exchanger after cooling the compressed gas; a second refrigerant compression part further compressing the refrigerant compressed in the first refrigerant compression part; and a refrigerant expansion part expanding and cooling the refrigerant compressed through the first and second refrigerant compression parts and supplying the refrigerant to the heat exchanger, wherein the refrigerant compressed through the first and second refrigerant compression parts is pre-cooled in the heat exchanger, expanded and cooled in the refrigerant expansion part, and supplied as a cold heat source to the heat exchanger, and wherein the first refrigerant compression part or the second refrigerant compression part is driven by expansion energy of the refrigerant delivered from the refrigerant expansion part.

    摘要: The float according to this disclosure comprises: a float body in which a hold space is partitioned; a tank which includes a tank body that can store liquified gas therein and that is accommodated in the hold space and a heat insulation wall covering the outer surface of the tank body having a guide passage formed in the gap between the wall and the tank body for guiding liquified gas that has leaked from the tank body; a collection space forming portion which partitions and forms a collection space, the collection space being formed below the tank body, and the liquified gas being introduced into the collection space via the guide passage; a gas guide wall which forms a vertical flow passage for allowing the collection space and an upper portion of the hold space to communicate with each other; a gas introduction line which can introduce purge gas into the hold space; and a discharge line which can discharge the gas from the upper portion in the hold space.
