The invention relates to the technical field of natural gas low temperature equipment, in particular to an LNG energy recovery process. By an LNG hydraulic turbine device (or expanding machinery in other forms), high pressure and low temperature LNG converts pressure energy to mechanical energy which is output by a supercharging end of the LNG hydraulic turbine device. Depressurized LNG is further cooled, a gas phase and a liquid phase generated in a depressurizing process are separated by a gas-liquid separation tank, the liquid LNG is charged to an LNG storage tank, and the gas phase BOG and BOG of the LNG storage tank are supercharged together by the supercharging end, namely, a BOG supercharger, of the LNG hydraulic turbine device. The LNG hydraulic turbine device replaces a J-T valve of the LNG product for expanding throttling, as the LNG is lower in temperature, output of the BOG is reduced, LNG yield is improved, and mechanical energy can be recovered by BOG supercharging of the BOG supercharging end.

The invention concerns turbochargers, or more particularly to multivariable dual stage series turbochargers having two degrees of freedom. A multistage series turbocharger apparatus has a low pressure turbocharger comprising a low pressure compressor and a low pressure turbine; a high pressure turbocharger comprising a high pressure compressor and a high pressure turbine, and a exhaust gas recirculation device. A controller controls the operation of at least two of the low pressure compressor, high pressure compressor, low pressure turbine, high pressure turbine, and exhaust gas recirculation device such that at least one operating parameter is maintained at about a selected value.

The invention combines the features of a supercharger, a turbocharger and turbo-compounding into one system, utilizing a hydraulic or mechanical continuously variable transmission to drive the turbocharger up to a specific speed or intake manifold pressure and then holding the ideal speed to keep it at the right boost pressure for the engine condition. The benefits of a supercharger, which is primarily good for high torque at low speed, and a turbocharger, which is usually only good for high horsepower at high speeds are merged. Once the exhaust energy begins to provide more work than it takes to drive the intake compressor, the invention recovers that excess energy and uses it to add torque to the crankshaft. As a result, the invention provides the benefits of low speed with high torque and the added value of high speed with higher horsepower or better fuel economy all from one system.
