A cooling system includes a refrigerant circulator which circulates a refrigerant, wherein the refrigerant circulator includes a first compressor configured to pressurize the refrigerant in gaseous state; a first cooler configured to cool the refrigerant pressurized by the first compressor; a first gas-liquid separator configured to separate the refrigerant cooled by the first cooler into a first refrigerant flow of a gas component and a second refrigerant flow of a liquid component; a second compressor configured to pressurize the first refrigerant flow; a second cooler configured to cool the first refrigerant flow pressurized by the second compressor; a second gas-liquid separator configured to separate the refrigerant cooled by the second cooler into a third refrigerant flow of a gas component and a fourth refrigerant flow of a liquid component; a first expansion member configured to decompress the fourth refrigerant flow.

Cooling system

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for treating boil-off gas generated in an LNG storage tank of an LNG carrier for transporting LNG in a cryogenic liquid state, the LNG carrier having a boil-off gas reliquefaction plant, wherein an amount of boil-off gas corresponding to a treatment capacity of the reliquefaction plant among the total amount of boil-off gas generated during the voyage of the LNG carrier is discharged from the LNG storage tank and reliquefied by the reliquefaction plant. The boil-off gas treating method and apparatus can maintain an amount of boil-off gas discharged from an LNG storage tank at a constant level by storing in the LNG storage tank, instead of discharging and burning, surplus boil-off gas which has not been returned to the LNG storage tank through the reliquefaction plant among the total amount of boil-off gas generated in the LNG storage tank, and can prevent waste of boil-off gas and save energy by allowing an internal pressure of the LNG storage tank to be increased.

A fuel gas supply system of a vessel, such as an LNG carrier, is provided for supplying fuel gas to a high-pressure gas injection engine of an LNG carrier, wherein LNG is extracted from an LNG storage tank of the LNG carrier, compressed at a high pressure, gasified, and then supplied to the high-pressure gas injection engine. In one embodiment, the system is operated to supply fuel to an MEGI engine.
