5 LNG Vaporizer Units Supplied to Vietnam Power Plant Using Aluminum Extruded Star Fin Tubes

Project Overview

This project involved the supply of 5 LNG vaporizer units for a large-scale power generation project in Vietnam. The vaporization equipment is designed to continuously convert LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) into natural gas and provide a stable fuel supply for gas turbines in a modern LNG power plant.

As Vietnam accelerates its energy transition from coal-fired power generation toward cleaner natural gas power, LNG infrastructure and LNG-fired power plants are becoming a critical part of the country’s future energy strategy. This project represents the growing demand for high-efficiency LNG vaporization solutions in Vietnam’s power sector.

Customer Requirement: Reliable LNG Vaporization for Large Power Generation

For LNG power plants, the vaporizer is one of the most important components in the gas supply system. It must handle continuous and large-scale LNG flow while maintaining stable outlet gas temperature and reliable operation under demanding industrial conditions.

The customer required vaporizer equipment with excellent heat transfer performance, corrosion resistance, and long-term operational reliability. The system needed to support large processing capacity, typically reaching dozens of tons of LNG vaporization per hour for utility-scale power generation.

Our Solution: Aluminum Extruded Star Fin Tube Technology

Based on the customer’s application requirements, we supplied LNG vaporizer units manufactured with aluminum extruded star fin tubes. This advanced fin tube design significantly increases the external heat transfer surface area compared with conventional smooth tubes, improving overall heat exchange efficiency.

The aluminum material provides excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight characteristics, making it highly suitable for large LNG vaporization systems where efficient heat transfer and equipment reliability are essential.

Why Aluminum Extruded Star Fin Tubes Are Suitable for LNG Vaporizer Applications

• High Heat Transfer Efficiency: The star-shaped extruded fins greatly increase the heat exchange surface area, improving vaporization performance.
• Excellent Thermal Conductivity: Aluminum offers outstanding heat conduction capability, helping achieve efficient LNG vaporization.
• Lightweight Structure: Aluminum fin tubes reduce equipment weight while maintaining excellent heat transfer performance.
• Long Service Life: The integrated extrusion structure provides strong mechanical bonding between the fins and the base tube.
• Stable Performance: The fin tube design is suitable for continuous operation in large-scale LNG and power generation applications.

Application in LNG Power Plant Vaporization System

The supplied vaporizer units are installed in a large LNG power generation project in Vietnam. During operation, LNG enters the vaporizer system at low temperature and absorbs heat through the aluminum fin tube heat exchange surface, allowing LNG to be converted into gaseous natural gas.

The generated natural gas is then supplied directly to gas turbines for electricity generation, supporting stable and efficient power production.
