Abstract:
A vessel includes a heat exchanger for heat-exchanging compressed boil-off gas (hereinafter, referred to as “first fluid”) by using, as a refrigerant, the boil-off gas discharged from a storage tank, to cool the same; a main compression part for compressing a part of the boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank; a rest compression part provided in parallel to the main compression part so as to compress the other part of the boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank; and a decompression device for expanding the first fluid having been cooled by exchanging heat with the boil-off gas, which is discharged from the storage tank, in the heat exchanger. The first fluid is a flow in which the boil-off gas compressed by the main compression part and the boil-off gas compressed by the rest compression part join; or the boil-off gas compressed by the main compression part.

Claim (Index 1):
A vessel including a storage tank for storing liquefied gas, the vessel comprising:\n a heat exchanger cooling compressed boil-off gas (hereinafter referred to as a \u201cfirst fluid\u201d) through heat exchange using boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank as a refrigerant; a main compression unit compressing a part of the boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank; an extra compression unit disposed in parallel to the main compression unit and compressing the other part of the boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank; and a decompressor expanding the first fluid having been cooled through heat exchange with the boil-off gas discharged from the storage tank in the heat exchanger, wherein the first fluid is a flow in which the boil-off gas compressed by the main compression unit and the boil-off gas compressed by the extra compression unit are joined; or the boil-off gas compressed by the main compression unit.
