Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclose relate to a system of distributing fuel gas. The system of distributing fuel gas includes a vaporizer and compression system (VCS). The VCS includes a vaporizer, a compressor configured to produce compressed fuel gas (CFG) from LFG, and a mounting base. The vaporizer includes a fuel gas inlet configured to provide LFG to the vaporizer from a LFG source, and a fuel gas outlet. The compressor includes a distribution outlet, an exhaust, and a fan. The fan is configured to flow air and gas emitted from the exhaust toward the vaporizer. The vaporizer and the compressor are disposed on the mounting base.
Claims15
A fuel gas distribution system for distributing fuel to one or more fuel consuming assets, comprising:
- a vaporizer and compression system (VCS), comprising:
- a vaporizer, comprising:
- a fuel gas inlet configured to provide liquid fuel gas (LFG) to the vaporizer from a LFG source;
- and
- a fuel gas outlet;
- a compressor configured to produce compressed fuel gas (CFG) from LFG, comprising:
- a distribution outlet;
- an exhaust;
- and
- a fan, wherein the fan is configured to flow one or more of gas and thermal energy emitted from the compressor toward the vaporizer;
- and
- a mounting base, wherein the vaporizer and the compressor are disposed on the mounting base.
-20. (canceled)
