Utilizing locomotive electrical locker to warm liquid natural gas

A system for the exchange of thermal energy generated by electrical components in an electrical locker (14) to a flow of a liquefied gas includes a storage container (110) for cryogenically storing the liquefied gas at low pressure. A heat exchanger (154) is configured into the electrical locker (14...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system for the exchange of thermal energy generated by electrical components in an electrical locker (14) to a flow of a liquefied gas includes a storage container (110) for cryogenically storing the liquefied gas at low pressure. A heat exchanger (154) is configured into the electrical locker (14) and a cryogenic pump (142), in fluid communication with the storage container (110), is provided for pressurizing the liquefied gas received from the storage container (110) to a higher pressure and for pumping the pressurized liquefied gas to a location where vaporization of the liquefied gas into a gaseous form is performed using the thermal energy drawn from the electrical locker (14) by the heat exchanger (154).
