Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de liquéfier un gaz, comprenant les étapes consistant à introduire un flux d'alimentation dans un liquéfacteur comprenant au moins un détendeur à chaud et un détendeur à froid; comprimer le flux d'alimentation dans le liquéfacteur à une pression supérieure à sa pression critique et refroidir le flux d'air comprimé à une température inférieure à sa température critique pour former un flux en phase dense à haute pression; retirer le flux en phase dense à haute pression du liquéfacteur, réduire la pression du flux en phase dense à haute pression dans un dispositif de détente pour former un flux à deux phases obtenu et introduire ensuite directement le flux à deux phases obtenu dans une cuve de stockage; et combiner une partie détente brusque du flux à deux phases obtenu avec une vapeur d'évaporation d'un liquide dans la cuve de stockage pour former un flux de vapeur combiné, la température du flux en phase dense à haute pression étant inférieure à la température d'un flux d'évacuation du détendeur à froid.
