Vaporizers are the key heat transfer device in the regasification process of liquefied natural gas (LNG), especially for the conventional onshore LNG receiving stations. This paper has proposed a novel intermediate fluid vaporizer by employing multi-stream plate-fin heat exchanger (MPFHE-IFV). Compa...
