Abstract

1,067,978. Refrigerating; cold separation of air. LA FLEUR CORPORATION. June 14, 1965 [Nov. 10, 1964], No. 24948/65. Headings F4H and F4P. In a refrigeration system, a discharge stream 13 from a compressor 10 is cooled in heatexchanger 29 and divided into two streams 30 and 30a, stream 30 is expanded in turbine 31 and supplied to a heat-exchanger 34, stream 30a is further cooled in a heat-exchanger 31a, expanded in a turbine 33a and supplied to a heat-exchanger 36a and compressor 10 is powered, at least in part, by a turbine 20. The latter is supplied with compressed gas by a second discharge stream 12 of the compressor and the second stream is heated in heat-exchanger 15 by waste combustion gases from a magneto-hydrodynamic generator 5. Heatexchanger 34 provides cooling for an air fractionating column 35 from which oxygen is supplied through line 53, 53a to the burners 4 of generator 5, the oxygen stream being preheated in heat-exchangers 44 and 1 by incoming air from compressor 42 and by the generator combustion gases respectively. Heat-exchanger 36a serves to cool a medium which circulates via lines 38a, 39a to and from the magnet of generator 5. Alternatively the heat-exchanger cools the magnet directly. Turbines 31 and 33a may be used to power electrical generators 32, 34a, as shown, or may provide additional power for compressor 10. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown) the mixture of nitrogen and argon gas from the top of column 35 is passed through line 64 to a second fractionating column 62 cooled by a heat-exchanger 67 upstream of heat-exchanger 34.
