Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé d'actionnement d'au moins deux compresseurs de réfrigérant dans un procédé de refroidissement d'hydrocarbure. Dans un tel procédé de refroidissement d'hydrocarbure, un courant d'alimentation d'hydrocarbure peut être amené à passer contre des courants de réfrigérant s'évaporant partiellement. Le ou les courants de réfrigérant partiellement évaporé sont comprimés par des compresseurs de réfrigérant. Une ou plusieurs turbines à gaz sont actionnées pour fournir une puissance électrique et du gaz chaud. Le gaz chaud est amené à passer à travers un ou plusieurs échangeurs de chaleur à vapeur d'eau pour fournir une puissance thermique, laquelle est utilisée pour actionner une ou plusieurs turbines à vapeur pour actionner au moins l'un des compresseurs de réfrigérant. La puissance électrique est utilisée pour actionner au moins un autre des compresseurs de réfrigérant.
