SPX Cooling Technologies Atmospheric Heat Vaporization Systems User manual

/ Atmospheric Heat Vaporization Systems for LNG Import Terminals /

Introducing dramatically more efficient regasification.
Plus an innovative source for pure water.

FEWER
EMISSIONS
Compared to traditional
combustion-only
systems, Atmospheric
Heat Vaporization
Systems can reduce CO2
and NOXemissions by as
much as 90%.
LESS CONSUMPTION
OF NATURAL GAS
GENERATE
PURE WATER
The heat transfer process
condenses water from the
atmosphere, delivering
up to 4 million liters of
water a day to the local
community.
Any major oil company
or natural gas marketer
planning or operating an
LNG terminal can expect
to save 20% – 90% of
the energy required by
traditional methods
of heating.

Atmospheric heating: the basic elements.
Unlike traditional gas-fired only methods, Atmospheric Heat
Vaporization Systems utilize heat from the atmosphere –
extracted via a direct or indirect heat exchanger, resulting in
significantly less fuel consumption.

INNOVATIVE CONFIGURATIONS
SPX Cooling Technologies’ unique direct contact heating
tower and indirect contact fin-fan heat exchanger designs
allow for maximum atmospheric heat transfer while
optimizing footprint and electrical power consumption.
