Definitions
- this invention comprises a liquefaction process with moderate power requirement in which the necessary refrigeration is largely supplied by work expansion of the feed gas itself. Cryogenic liquid refrigerants or other secondary working fluids such as nitrogen are therefore not required. In this way energy is extracted at a low temperature level which results in improved thermodynamic efficiency. As a result, a significant proportion of the LNG is formed directly in a work extracting expander, in addition to that formed 5by condensation in an exchanger which is cooled by the reheating of the cold gas from the said work expander.
- FIG 1 shows the operating features of the invention.
- the exact flow sheet will 15depend upon the feed gas specification, but will generally contain these basic elements. Where pressures are stated anywhere in this application as “bar” these are bar absolute.
- the pressure of Stream 11 will typically be around 15 bar ( .5 MPa).
- Stream 11 enters a first cold passage in heat exchanger D, leaving as Stream 12, which 0then passes through a first cold passage in heat exchanger B, emerging (Stream 13) at a temperature just below the temperature of Stream 6.
- the ratio of the flow rate of Stream 4 to the flow rate of Stream 5 is controlled so that the temperature approach between the composite hot and cold sides of heat exchangers B and D are substantially uniform throughout their lengths.
