Abstract
A method for cooling a fluid material from an initial temperature to a temperature level at least 111ºC below said initial temperature, characterized by the operations of: arranging a single mixed refrigerant composition capable of cooling said material and containing a certain number of refrigerant constituents having successively lower boiling points; passing said refrigerant composition through a closed circuit refrigeration cycle that includes compression, condensation, heat exchange and expansion zones, and in which the refrigerant composition is successively directed from the compression zone to the condensation zone , from there to the heat exchange zone to flow along a first path therethrough, then to the expansion zone, then return to the heat exchange zone to flow along a second path to its path in countercurrent heat exchange relationship with the flow of refrigerant along said first path, and finally is returned to the compression zone whereby the composition of refrigerant flowing along said first path through The heat exchange zone is at a higher temperature and pressure than the composition of the refrigerant flowing along said second path. through it; directing the fluid material through said heat exchange zone along a third path in relation to heat exchange of flow in isocorrent with the refrigerant flowing along said first path and in countercurrent with the flow of refrigerant to along said second path to effect cooling of the material, at least one of the constituents of the refrigerant having a lower boiling point than said low temperature level, the mixed constituents having freezing points below said low temperature level, and at least one other of said constituents having a boiling point high enough to allow condensation thereof in said condensation zone at a temperature at least 111ºC higher than said low temperature level and at the pressure of the refrigerant composition when it flows at through the condensation zone from the compression zone to the internal zone heat exchange, said refrigerant composition being further characterized by the properties that at least a portion of it is evaporable through said expansion zone, substantially all the refrigerant becoming liquid along said first path through the zone of heat exchange and substantially all of the composition undergoing evaporation along said second path through the heat exchange zone at the respective temperatures and pressures of the refrigerant that exist along said first and second paths; and passing a condensation medium in heat exchange relationship with the refrigerant composition flowing through said condensation zone, said condensation medium being at a temperature greater than 111ºC above said low temperature level, but by below the temperature at which said at least one other constituent of the refrigerant composition is condensable at the temperature and pressure that exist in said condensation zone.
