MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617075656 A) filed by Burckhardt Compression AG on June 18, 2026, for Device And Method For Compressing Boil-Off Gas.
Inventors include Kirchhoff, Torsten; Botta, Fabrizio; and Harder, Thorsten.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a device (100) for compressing boil-off gas (1) of a cryogenically stored gas (LG), the device (100) comprising a vessel (10) for cryogenically stored gas (LG) having an outlet (11) for discharging a boil-off gas (1) of the cryogenically stored gas (LG) which can be provided in the vessel (10), a compressor (20) having at least one compressor stage (21), and a heat exchanger (30) for carrying out a heat exchange between the boil-off gas (1) and a boil-off gas (3) compressed in the first compressor stage (21), wherein the heat exchanger (30) has a first inlet (31) for receiving the boil-off gas (1), a first outlet (32) for discharging a heated boil-off gas (2) to the first compressor stage (21), a second inlet (33) for receiving the boil-off gas (3) compressed in the first compressor stage (21), and a second outlet (34) for discharging a cooled and compressed boil-off gas (4) to a downstream process, in particular to a second compressor stage (22) of the compressor (20), which is configured to further compress the boil-off gas (4) compressed in the first compressor stage (21) and cooled in the heat exchanger (30) in order to provide a boil-off gas (5) which has been compressed further.
