FIELD: storage of liquefied gases. SUBSTANCE: gaseous vapor line includes low-pressure expansion turbine mounted on one shaft with high-pressure turbine, shut-off and adjusting fittings, receiver, two heat exchangers - heaters located between turbines and Stirling refrigerating machine. Liquefied vapor line includes high-pressure pump, Dewar flask and check valve fitted after high-pressure pump. Liquefied line runs from Stirling cryogenic machine to liquefied gas storage reservoirs. Stirling cooling loop passes through heat exchangers - heaters; this loop includes cooler communicated with surrounding medium and pump. Liquefied gas storage reservoir is made from high-strength steel. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency; reduced expenses for storage of liquefied gases. 1 dwg
