Abstract

In the liquefaction of natural gas wherein the refrigeration cycle fluid contains natural gas components, and such components are subjected to fractional condensation to obtain different temperature levels of refrigeration, the system is improved by adjusting the C3-C6 content of cycle fluid and the pressure of at least one intermediate pressure stage of the circulation pressure in such a manner that condensate is formed in the corresponding intercooler of said pressure stage. This condensate is then separated and subjected to heat exchange to utilize its refrigeration values and recirculated to the circulation compressor via an expansion valve. In this way, a substantial concentration of heavy hydrocarbons can be utilized to increase the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration cycle, but said hydrocarbons do not deleteriously affect the lower temperature levels of refrigeration.
