Abstract
A ship includes: a boil-off gas heat exchanger which heat-exchanges a compressed boil-off gas ('a first fluid') by means of a boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank as a refrigerant; a compressor installed on the downstream of the boil-off gas heat exchanger and compressing a part of the boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank; first and second extra compressors provided in parallel with the compressor on the downstream of the boil-off gas heat exchanger and compressing the other part of the boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank; a refrigerant heat exchanger which additionally cools the first fluid cooled by means of the boil-off gas heat exchanger; a refrigerant decompressing device which expands a second fluid, which has been sent to the refrigerant heat exchanger and cooled by means of the refrigerant heat exchanger, and then sending the expanded second fluid back to the refrigerant heat exchanger.
