Abstract
There are a number of heat sources which contribute to the whole heat flow causing the boil-off. These sources can be divided into two, the “A” flows into the liquid, which are absorbed by the heat of vaporisation, and the “B” flows into the cold vapour volume above the liquid, which are absorbed by the enthalpy of the vapour between NBP and ambient temperatures. Once identified, each heat source can be reduced by the design of several techniques; also introducing crossovers of A to B flows, so that the net A flow is reduced to a minimum liquid boil off rate.
