Abstract
Disclosed is an LNG fuel supply system, including: a fuel supply line connected from an LNG storing tank to an engine; a pump provided on the fuel supply line, and configured to change an LNG to the LNG in a supercooled liquid state by compressing the LNG discharged from the LNG storing tank at a high pressure; and a heat exchanger provided on the fuel supply line between the engine and the pump, and configured to phase change the LNG in the supercooled liquid state to the LNG in a supercritical state by heating the LNG in the supercooled liquid state supplied from the pump.
