Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un procédé de liquéfaction d'un gaz.The present invention relates to a method of liquefying a gas.
Le gaz peut être de l'azote, de l'argon, de l'oxygène, de l'argon, du gaz naturel ou tout autre gaz industriel se liquéfiant à une température cryogénique. The gas may be nitrogen, argon, oxygen, argon, natural gas or any other industrial gas liquefying at a cryogenic temperature.
Selon la présente inventio n, il est prévu un procédé de liquéfaction d'un gaz dans lequel un gaz à liquéfier est envoyé à un échangeur de chaleur où il se liquéfie et un gaz de cycle est comprimé à une pression élevée, refroidi dans l'échangeur et divisé en une première partie et u ne deuxième partie, la première partie étant retirée de l'échangeur à une température intermédiaire de celui -ci, détendu à une première pression dans une première turbine et renvoyée à l'échangeur pour s'y réchauffer et la deuxième partie étant détendue da ns une deuxième turbine à une pression plus basse que la première pression, réchauffée dans l'échangeur, comprimé dans un compresseur et mélangé avec la première partie détendue et réchauffée pour former le gaz de cycle. According to the present invention, there is provided a method of liquefying a gas in which a gas to be liquefied is sent to a heat exchanger where it liquefies and a cycle gas is compressed to a high pressure, cooled in the exchanger and divided into a first part and a second part, the first part being removed from the exchanger at an intermediate temperature thereof, expanded at a first pressure in a first turbine and returned to the exchanger for therein reheat and the second portion being expanded in a second turbine at a lower pressure than the first pressure, reheated in the exchanger, compressed in a compressor and mixed with the first expanded portion and reheated to form the cycle gas.
L'invention sera décrite en plus de détail en se référant à la Figure. The invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
Un gaz 1 est envoyé à un échangeur de chaleur 5 d'où il sort sous forme liquéfiée 3. Un cycle fermé de liquéfaction produit des frigories pour la liquéfaction. A gas 1 is sent to a heat exchanger 5 from which it exits in liquefied form 3. A closed liquefaction cycle produces frigories for liquefaction.
Un gaz de cycle 7 est comprimé dans un compresseur 9 et ref roidi dans un refroidisseur 11 pour former un débit comprimé et refroidi 13. Ce débit 13 est comprimé dans un compresseur 15, refroidi dans un refroidisseur 17 et envoyé à l'échangeur de chaleur 5. A une température intermédiaire de celui -ci, il est divisé en deux. Une partie 19 est envoyée à une turbine 21 couplé au compresseur 15. Le débit détendu 25 produit par la turbine 21 est réchauffé en traversant l'échangeur 5 et est recyclé au compresseur 9. Le reste 23 du débit provenant du compresseur 15 est ref roidi à une température intermédiaire de l'échangeur 5 plus froide que la température d'entrée de la turbine 21. Le débit 23 est détendu dans une turbine 27 pour former un débit détendu 29 à pression plus basse que la pression de sortie de la turbine 21. Le débit détendu 29 est envoyé au bout froid de l'échangeur 5. Il se réchauffe en traversant entièrement l'échangeur 5 et est envoyé à un compresseur 31 qui le comprime à la pression de sortie de la turbine 21. Après refroidissement dans 33, le débit 35 r ejoint le débit 25 pour former le débit de gaz de cycle 7. A cycle gas 7 is compressed in a compressor 9 and cooled in a cooler 11 to form a compressed and cooled flow 13. This flow 13 is compressed in a compressor 15, cooled in a cooler 17 and sent to the heat exchanger 5. At an intermediate temperature, it is divided in two. A part 19 is sent to a turbine 21 coupled to the compressor 15. The expanded flow 25 produced by the turbine 21 is heated through the exchanger 5 and is recycled to the compressor 9. The remainder 23 of the flow from the compressor 15 is cooled. at an intermediate temperature of the exchanger 5 colder than the inlet temperature of the turbine 21. The flow 23 is expanded in a turbine 27 to form a expanded flow 29 at a pressure lower than the outlet pressure of the turbine 21 The expanded flow rate 29 is sent to the cold end of the heat exchanger 5. It heats up completely through the exchanger 5 and is sent to a compressor 31 which compresses it to the outlet pressure of the turbine 21. After cooling in 33 the flow 35 r joins the flow 25 to form the flow of the cycle gas 7.
Le gaz de cycle peut être un gaz pur ou un mélange. Il doit pouvoir être détendu à une température plus froide que la température de liquéfaction du gaz à 5 liquéfier. The cycle gas may be a pure gas or a mixture. It must be able to be expanded to a temperature colder than the liquefaction temperature of the gas to be liquefied.
