Abstract
An apparatus and method for power generation during regasification, having a tank for a cryogenic fluid, a first pump connected to the tank via a first line, a first heat exchanger connected to the first pump via a second line, and a second heat exchanger connected downstream of the first heat exchanger, and a first turbine connected immediately downstream of the second heat exchanger, wherein a third line branches off from the first turbine and opens into the first heat exchanger, and a fourth line branches off from this first heat exchanger and opens into the second line, wherein a second pump is connected into the fourth line.
