Cryogenic Equipment

NRS(Nitrogen Refrigerant System) Package

The NRS® package is an essential reliquefaction system for LNG carriers. It integrates reliquefaction and fuel supply functions to provide optimal efficiency.
This improves both individual product performance and overall system efficiency.

System Diagram and Main Product

  1. 1Low Pressure FG Compressor
    Frame : SE45G/4
    Simple GMS configuration
    Relatively low pressure for re-liquefaction
    Relieves burden for extremely high pressure
  2. 2Cryogenic Heat Exchanger
    Brazed Aluminum Heat Exchanger
    Widely used type in the liquefaction industry
    Optimized design for 4 stream heat exchanger
    High efficiency by recovering cold BOG energy
  3. 3N₂ Compander
    Frame : SE-45N/4
    3-stage centrifugal compressor
    Single-stage expander
    Widely used technology in the industry
    Supplies main cold power to NRS
    through the Reverse Brayton Cycle
  4. 4Nitrogen Refrigerant
    Easy to obtain on the ship
    Environmentally safe
    N₂ Inventory Tank for Load control
    Minimize refrigerant loss by recovery
