LNG Open Rack Vaporizer

The open rack type LNG vaporizer (ORV) uses seawater as its heat source and is a typical higher flow LNG vaporizer. The seawater enters the top of the vaporizer and is runs over the aluminium tubes. The LNG flows up and is converts from a liquid into a gas. The benefit of using heat from the seawater is that this energy is for free and there is no further CO₂ emission for regasifying the LNG. The water is gathered in the basin at the bottom of the vaporizer tubes before being returned to the sea.

This is a simply and cost-efficient vaporizing process that is easy to operate and maintain. It is a very safe and most reliable technology.
