LNG cold energy use in agro-food industry: A case study in Sicily

Performance Evaluation of Cascade Refrigeration Systems Using Different Refrigerants

“…1 Hence, the cascaded systems based on natural refrigerants are o®ering good potential for research in these circumstances, instead of synthetic refrigerants-based cascade systems. 2 Therefore, using natural refrigerants in both twostage and cascade refrigeration system helps to meet the requirements of environmental regulations.…”

Review on recent liquefied natural gas cold energy utilization in power generation cycles

“…The cold energy of LNG can be applied to all the processes that need cold, such as power generation (Oshima et al, 1978;Griepentrog et al, 2008;Shi et al, 2009;Shi et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2012;Song et al, 2012;Choi et al, 2013;Dong et al, 2013;Rao et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2013;Arsalis et al, 2014;Gmez et al, 2014;Shu et al, 2014;Franco et al, 2015;Stradioto et al, 2015;Gmez et al, 2016;Sung et al, 2016;Bao et al, 2017;Ghaebi et al, 2018), cryogenic air separation (Bian et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2013;Xu et al, 2014;Mehrpooya et al, 2015;Zheng et al, 2015;Mehrpooya et al, 2016;Tesch et al, 2016;Ebrahimi et al, 2017;, seawater desalination (Cravalho et al, 1977;Shaik et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2012;Cao et al, 2015;Chang et al, 2016;Cherchi et al, 2017;Lin et al, 2017), cold storage (Messineo et al, 2008;Messineo et al, 2011), refrigeration (Mehmet, 2002;Kalinowski et al, 2009;He et al, 2015;…”

Thermodynamic analysis of a novel power plant with LNG (liquefied natural gas) cold exergy exploitation and CO2 capture

“…Under such conditions the LNG has a high energy, known as cold energy, which needs to be recovered during the LNG regasification process. There are various methods of exploiting the LNG cold energy, as, for example, in: liquefaction and air separation processes [6e8], the food industry for the storage and freezing of foods [9,10], the desalination of seawater [11,12], residential development air conditioning [13], industrial processes such as petrochemicals [14,15], etc. Undoubtedly, however, the most widely used method for exploiting LNG cold energy is for power plant efficiency enhancement, using LNG as a heat sink and as additional exergy input.…”
