By C1~C5 and N 2The mixed working fluid of forming gets into the inlet of compressor; Be compressed to 0.6~1.8MPaA through one section; Get into the one-level cooler and be cooled to 30 ℃~40 ℃; Get into the one-level gas-liquid separator again and carry out gas-liquid separation; The isolated gas in one-level gas-liquid separator top continues to get into two sections inlets of compressor, is compressed to 1.2~5.4MPaA through two sections, and the isolated liquid of one-level gas-liquid separator bottom liquid phases end is after the liquid pump is forced into 1.2~5.4MPaA and two sections compressions and exports hot gas and converge; Get into secondary coolers again and be cooled to 30 ℃~40 ℃; Cooled mixed working fluid gets into the secondary gas-liquid separator subsequently and carries out gas-liquid separation, and secondary gas-liquid separator top gas gets into first heat exchanger channels of main heat exchanger group subsequently and participates in heat exchange, and the isolated liquid in secondary gas-liquid separator bottom gets into second heat exchanger channels of main heat exchanger group and participates in heat exchange;
The liquid of drawing from mixed working fluid compressibility secondary gas-liquid separator bottom at first gets into second heat exchanger channels of heat exchanger package; Therein by-30 ℃~-80 ℃ extremely approximately of precoolings; Behind first throttle valve throttling to 0.2~0.8MPaA, get into cryogen separator middle part; By the vapor phase stream thigh of the isolated mixed working fluid in the secondary gas-liquid separator top gas phase channel through heat exchanger package promptly first heat exchanger channels be cooled to-135 ℃~-169 ℃; Reverse entering heat exchanger package the 4th heat exchanger channels is that heat exchanger provides cold behind second choke valve throttling to 0.2~0.8MPaA again; Re-heat is drawn heat exchanger package after-30 ℃~-80 ℃ and is also got into cryogen separator middle part; Converge with the stream thigh that goes out the same entering cryogen separator behind the first throttle valve, be back to after the gas-liquid two-phase that goes out the cryogen separator converges in heat exchanger package the 3rd heat exchanger channels, turn back to a section of compressor as azeotrope then to heat exchanger package provides cold.
4. the single mixed working fluid of employing according to claim 3 freezes and comes the method for liquefied natural gas, it is characterized in that, by C1~C5 and N 2The mixed working fluid of forming is for being selected from C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 alkane and N 2In four kinds, five kinds or six kinds, each is according to the arbitrary volume ratio or according to the volume ratio that approximately is equal to.
