Abstract: As a newly developed micro-channel heat exchanger, printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) has wide application prospects in offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and floating LNG receiving terminals with compact dimensions, low weight, and high heat transfer efficiency. For the application of PCHE as main heat exchanger for LNG floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), a scaled model of LNG vaporizer is produced and an experimental facility is built to measure the thermal performance of the heat exchanger.
