ABSTRACT:
The liquified natural gas is passed in heat exchange relation with a flow of air in order to use the heat energy in the air to heat and vaporize the liquified natural gas. The resulting cooled air is then used as the input to an open gas turbine plant. This, in turn, increases the efficiency of the turbine plant and an overall conservation of energy effect is produced. In order to avoid freezing of any water vapor in the air, a medium having a lower freezing point than water is mixed into the air flow prior to heat exchange.
