Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a device for effectively restraining the generation of thermal stress when effecting slow cooling at the time of starting, etc. of a heat exchanger for heating a low temperature liquid. In a method for effecting slow cooling in a heat exchanger equipped with an inlet chamber into which a low temperature liquid is introduced, the low temperature liquid is sprinkled in the inlet chamber at a lower flow rate during slow cooling than during normal operation. A slow cooling device is equipped with a slow cooling LNG supplying means having a sprinkling means for sprinkling the low temperature liquid.
