The present disclosure relates to a natural gas hydrate tank container loading system for transporting natural gas hydrate, and the present disclosure provides a natural gas hydrate tank container loading system, enabling self-powered power generation and boil-off (BOG) gas treatment, includes: a refrigerator for inhibiting the generation of boil-off gas which naturally generates in a natural gas hydrate tank container during transportation; and a solar cell, a battery, and a generator, which operates by means of the boil-off gas, for supplying electric power to the refrigerator, thereby ensuring a generation capacity sufficient to operate the refrigerator by means of the solar cell, the generator, and the battery, and thus always maintaining a stable phase equilibrium (self-preservation) in the natural gas hydrate tank container even during long-distance transportation and solving problems of fire, environmental pollution, or the like which occur when the boil-off gas (BOG) is discharged to the outside.

A fuel system for a liquefied gas drive system. The fuel system has a liquefied gas tank and a cooling system for the vaporized content of liquefied gas, which comprises a liquid nitrogen tank, a nitrogen pump, a heat exchanger, and a nitrogen cooler, which are connected to each other in a pipework circuit. The heat exchanger is arranged in the interior of the liquefied gas tank. Also disclosed are a vehicle, a plant and a machine, in each case with a fuel system, and a method for cooling the vaporized content of liquefied gas of a liquefied gas drive system.

An apparatus for rocking a piece of furniture to which it is attached. The rocking apparatus includes at least one rolling mechanism that, when in operation, rotates the rolling mechanism around an axis of rotation causing a rocking action. The apparatus may be utilized for rocking a variety of pieces of furniture such as a safety infant car seat, a stroller seat, a rocking chair, a swing or a hammock. According to some embodiments the rolling mechanism is connected to a driving portion.

The disclosure relates to an open-loop cooling system installed on a refrigerated barge for removing heat from an external heat exchanger in communication with a closed-loop internal cooling system. The system includes an open loop with a pump drawing water from the environment and forcing the water across the outer surface of the heat exchanger to augment existing heat removal due to contact with and flow of water across the heat exchanger due to the motion of the barge. Water is forced across the side faces and inner faces of the cooler to increase heat transfer from the barge closed-loop cooling system to the water environment.
