Abstract

Se describe un procedimiento para licuar una fracción rica en hidrocarburos, siendo la fracción rica en hidrocarburos licuada contra un circuito refrigerante expansor abierto. De acuerdo a la presente, la corriente parcial (6 - 14) de la fracción rica en hidrocarburos (3) a ser licuada, la cual circula en el circuito refrigerante expansor, es enfriada y expandida en dos etapas produciendo trabajo (X1, X2) siendo la corriente parcial (9), la cual es expandida en la primera etapa de expansión (X1), enfriada (E) y suministrada (10) a continuación a la segunda etapa de expansión (X2).A process for liquefying a hydrocarbon-rich fraction is described, the hydrocarbon-rich fraction being liquefied against an open expanding refrigerant circuit. According to the present, the partial current (6-14) of the fraction rich in hydrocarbons (3) to be liquefied, which circulates in the cooling refrigerant circuit, is cooled and expanded in two stages producing work (X1, X2) the partial current (9) being, which is expanded in the first expansion stage (X1), cooled (E) and then supplied (10) to the second expansion stage (X2).
