Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de liquéfaction d'un flux de gaz naturel, comprenant un échangeur de chaleur de liquéfaction ayant au moins trois faisceaux de refroidissement et agencé de telle sorte que le flux de gaz naturel passe successivement à travers ceux-ci. Un premier faisceau de refroidissement condense les constituants hydrocarbonés lourds dans le flux de gaz naturel. Un deuxième faisceau de refroidissement liquéfie le flux de gaz naturel. Un troisième faisceau de refroidissement sous-refroidit le flux de GNL. Une turbine hydraulique possède une entrée fonctionnellement reliée à une sortie du deuxième faisceau de refroidissement, et une sortie fonctionnellement reliée à une admission du troisième faisceau de refroidissement. La turbine hydraulique refroidit le flux de GNL et réduit la pression du flux de GNL pour former un flux de GNL à pression réduite.
