Method for utilizing boil-off gas from cryogenic liquids as fuel in a dual gas/oil-burning diesel engine, and a system for utilizing the method

摘要

Boil-off gas from cryogenic liquids is utilized as fuel in a dual gas/oil-burning diesel engine on board a vessel. The boil-off gas is compressed (2) to a high pressure and is introduced to the engine combustion chamber (17) during combustion by high pressure injection (12) which is controlled (13) in accordance with the combustion pressure, the desired revolutions per minute and the output power.
