Fuel gas supply system for supplying a high-pressure gas injection engine with gas stored in a liquefied gas tank, preferably an LNG tank, having a high-pressure pump to which liquefied gas is supplied. The system including a condenser with a high-pressure heat exchanger, a high-pressure vaporizer which is connected to the high-pressure pump via the high-pressure heat exchanger and is arranged downstream of the condenser. Gas fed to the high-pressure gas injection engine downstream of the high-pressure evaporator. A compressor to which boil-off gas is fed is connected downstream to the condenser via an inlet. A condensation core generator to which liquid gas is supplied from the high-pressure pump in such a manner that the condensation nuclei generated by the condensation nucleus generator promote condensation of the supplied boil-off gas. The liquid gas formed in the condenser is supplied to the high-pressure pump and/or to the liquid gas tank.

Apparatus and methods for vaporizing liquid nitrogen at sufficient pressure, temperature, and volume to enable a single mobile pumper to meet the needs of many industrial applications. The dual-mode nitrogen pumper of the present invention utilizes a reciprocating pump and heat from the engine coolant and exhaust stream of an internal combustion engine, as well as heat from hydraulic fluid used to load the engine, and transfers that heat to liquid nitrogen pumped through a first heat exchanger and a second, internally-fired heat exchanger is provided to transfer heat to liquid nitrogen pumped through a second heat exchanger. The temperature of the hydraulic fluid is maintained, and the temperature, pressure, and flow rate of the vaporized nitrogen is controlled, by balancing the engine load against the nitrogen pumping rate.

A method and system delivers a cryogenically stored fuel in a gaseous state into the air intake system of a gaseous fuelled internal combustion engine. The method involves measuring the pressure in the vapor space of the cryogenic storage vessel, comparing the measured pressure to a required fuel supply pressure and supplying fuel in gaseous state directly from the vapor space of the cryogenic storage vessel to the fuel delivery line that supplies fuel to the engine, when the pressure measured in the vapor space of the cryogenic storage vessel is equal to or higher than the required fuel supply pressure. The method further involves activating a cryogenic pump to deliver fuel to the internal combustion engine from the liquid space of the cryogenic storage vessel when the measured pressure in the vapor space is lower than the required fuel supply pressure.

A station and method for refilling a tank or tanks with pressurized gas in which liquefied gas is vaporized in a vaporizer. One portion of the vaporized gas is compressed to produce a compressed gas. Another portion of the vaporized gas is not compressed but instead is fed to a heat exchanger where it is used to cool the compressed gas. The thus-warmed gas is reinjected into a filling line that feeds the liquefied gas to the vaporizer.

Systems and methods for using a multi-stage compressor to increase the temperature and pressure of BOG sent to a heat exchanger for cooling a separate liquid refrigerant. The subsequent stage(s) of the multi-stage compressor further compress the BOG, which is then recycled to a liquefaction unit or used as fuel gas for one or more turbines.
