LNG 및 극저온 기계기술 시험인증센터 구축 및 시험절차

This paper describes some of the issues associated with LNG & cryogenic equipment test and evaluation center. The natural gas is stored and transported in a liquid state because its liquid density is 600 times greater than gas density. The storage and transportation of LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) are accompanied with cryogenic cooling processes which require various cryogenic equipments including compressor, pump, valve, heat exchanger and auxiliary components. LNG & cryogenic equipment test and evaluation center will fill the role of test and evaluation of these cryogenic equipments. In addition, its role will be extened to the cryogenic equipment for the other cryogenic field. LNG & cryogenic equipment test and evaluation center will be designed and established by KIMM (Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials) in cooperation with Gyeongnam Technopark, Gimhae city and Gyeongsangnam-do.
