Cold energy utilization

Japanese: 冷熱利用 - れいねつりよう
Cold energy utilization
Here we will discuss the use of cold energy generated during the liquefaction of natural gas. Liquefied natural gas (abbreviated as LNG) is produced using approximately 10% of the natural gas produced at liquefaction plants, and is transported and stored at normal pressure while maintaining its boiling point (approximately -160°C). In other words, LNG contains the energy added during liquefaction, and has the ability to absorb large amounts of heat from its surroundings and cool itself when it returns to room temperature natural gas. This ability is called the cold energy of LNG, and it can absorb approximately 200 kcal of heat from other sources per kg of LNG.

ここでは天然ガスを液化する際に生ずる冷熱の利用について述べる。液化天然ガス(LNGと略称)は,液化基地で産出する天然ガスの約10%を費やして生産され,常圧で沸点(約-160℃)を保ちながら輸送・貯蔵される。すなわち,LNGは液化時に加えられたエネルギーを内部に保有しているわけで,常温の天然ガスに戻るに際して,大量の熱を周囲から奪って冷やす能力をもっている。この能力をLNGの冷熱といっているが,LNG1kg当り約200kcalの熱を他のものから奪うことができる。
