Heat Transfer Systems for Liquefied Natural Gas Plants
Presented by Eberhard Kaupp, Linde AG Engineering Division
Eberhard will discuss heat transfer systems for Liquefied Natural Gas
(LNG) plants. While such plants consist of many and varied processing
sections, the heart is the liquefaction area. There, the treated and
pre-cooled natural gas is cooled down to its liquefaction temperature and
further sub-cooled for end-flash and export.
All LNG production facilities are equipped with either coil-wound heat
exchangers or brazed plate-fin heat exchangers. Since the start-up of the
first large-scale LNG plant in Algeria in 1964, the vast majority have used
coil-wound heat exchangers for liquefying and sub-cooling. However, today we
can see an increasing number of LNG plants being equipped with brazed
plate-fin heat exchangers.
This presentation gives an insight into these two technologies of
fundamental importance to the LNG industry:
- what do the terms coil-wound and plate-fin mean?
- how are these heat exchangers fabricated?
- are there operational and cost differences?
The presentation starts at 6:00pm with sandwiches and refreshments
available from 5:30pm followed by networking.
