Abstract

As described herein, a method and system for operating a refrigeration system are provided. In the present methods and systems, a portion of the refrigerant from the refrigeration system is used for reducing the temperature of inlet air entering the gas turbine. The refrigeration system disclosed herein can be used for LNG production, air separation, food storage, or ice-making.
