Abstract

L'invention concerne le refroidissement d'un flux d'hydrocarbures gazeux (10) pour produire un flux d'hydrocarbures liquéfié (20). Le flux d'hydrocarbures gazeux (10) est refroidi dans un ou plusieurs échangeurs (140) de chaleur à l'aide d'un premier agent frigorigène provenant d'un premier circuit (100) d'agent frigorigène où ledit premier agent frigorigène est comprimé dans un premier compresseur (110) entraîné par une première turbine (120) à gaz dotée d'un premier flux (125) d'air d'entrée, et liquéfié à l'aide d'un deuxième circuit (200) d'agent frigorigène, un deuxième agent frigorigène étant comprimé dans un deuxième compresseur (210) entraîné par une deuxième turbine (220) à gaz dotée d'un deuxième flux (225) d'air d'entrée. L'effort de refroidissement disponible dans un flux d'agent caloporteur refroidi (320) est réparti entre au moins une première (340) et une deuxième partie (350) en fonction d'un paramètre d'entrée commun, ledit premier et / ou ledit deuxième flux (125, 225) d'air d'entrée étant refroidis au moyen de l'agent caloporteur refroidi (320), l'effort de refroidissement disponible dans la première partie (340) étant ainsi utilisé pour refroidir le premier flux (125) d'air d'entrée et l'effort de refroidissement disponible dans la deuxième partie (350) étant utilisé pour refroidir le deuxième flux (225) d'air d'entrée.
