Abstract
A ship includes: a boil-off gas heat exchanger which is installed on a downstream of a storage tank and heat-exchanges a compressed boil-off gas ('a first fluid') by a boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank as a refrigerant to cool the boil-off gas; a compressor installed on a downstream of the boil-off gas heat exchanger and compresses a part of the boil-off gas from the storage tank; an extra compressor which is installed on a downstream of the boil-off gas heat exchanger and in parallel with the compressor and compresses the other part of the boil-off gas from the storage tank; a refrigerant heat exchanger which additionally cools the first fluid; and a refrigerant decompressing device which expands a second fluid, which is sent to the refrigerant heat exchanger, and then sends the second fluid back to the refrigerant heat exchanger.
