forward. The future will show which ones will be more feasible than others.
LNG as an intermediate step To help shipbuilders and owners meet these new standards, Vahterus has been providing hundreds of heat exchanger solutions for LNG evaporation, gas condensing and subcooling, BOG systems, gas carrier cargo handling, and even VOC systems. Approximately half of all oceangoing LNG or DualFuel vessels currently in service, have Vahterus heat exchangers installed.
Scale is no issue; Vahterus has provided heat exchangers from small harbour tugboats to massive cargo vessels along with some of the world’ s largest cruise vessels, and LNG terminals. With a round plate and a welded construction, the Vahterus original plate & shell type heat exchanger is well suited for cryogenic applications. The small footprint of this PSHE helps optimize the layout on board a vessel where space is always at a premium. This is also a substantial advantage in methanol-based systems, where many customers found benefit in Vahterus technology for their vessels in anticipation of increased green methanol production.
