Abstract

A methane-containing cryogenic liquid such as LNG is compressed and used as a refrigerant in the condensers of a first closed circuit which includes power turbine 5 and a second independent closed circuit which includes power turbine 6. The heat exchange medium in the first of the cycles evaporates in heat exchanger 3 at a lower temperature range than that at which the heat exchange medium in the second cycle condenses in heat exchanger 3. The first heat exchange medium is condensed by heat exchange in a first heat exchange step with the compressed cryogenic liquid and the second heat exchange medium is condensed by heat exchange in a second heat exchange step with compressed cryogenic liquid recovered from the first heat exchange step and evaporating first heat exchange medium. <IMAGE>
