Abstract

SE REFIERE A UN METODO PARA PROPORCIONAR REFRIGERACION A UN PROCESO DE LICUACION DE GAS NATURAL LICUADO; EN EL CUAL, EL CIRCUITO DE ENFRIAMIENTO, QUE CONTIENE UN COMPUESTO REFRIGERANTE, ES CONDUCIDO A TRAVES DE UN INTERCAMBIADOR DE CALOR. EL METODO INCLUYE ADEMAS, EL CONTROL CONTINUO DEL MENCIONADO COMPUESTO REFRIGERANTE AL REGULAR EL NIVEL DEL LIQUIDO EN UN SEPARADOR EN EL EXTREMO CALIENTE. EL COMPUESTO REFRIGERANTE CONTIENE ISO-PENTANO ENTRE OTROS COMPONENTES. EL NIVEL DEL LIQUIDO EN EL SEPARADOR DISMINUYE MIENTRAS EL INTERCAMBIO TERMICO QUE SE REQUIERE DEL INTERCAMBIADOR DE CALOR AUMENTAREFERS TO A METHOD TO PROVIDE REFRIGERATION TO A LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS LIQUEFIED PROCESS; IN WHICH THE COOLING CIRCUIT, WHICH CONTAINS A COOLING COMPOUND, IS CONDUCTED THROUGH A HEAT EXCHANGER. THE METHOD ALSO INCLUDES CONTINUOUS CONTROL OF THE MENTIONED REFRIGERANT COMPOUND BY REGULATING THE LIQUID LEVEL IN A SEPARATOR AT THE HOT END. THE REFRIGERANT COMPOUND CONTAINS ISO-PENTANE AMONG OTHER COMPONENTS. THE LEVEL OF LIQUID IN THE SEPARATOR DECREASES WHILE THE REQUIRED THERMAL EXCHANGE OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER INCREASES
