Abstract

Gass flytendegjøres med en fremgangsmåte som innbefatter kjøling av en fødegass (1) i et første kjølesystem (45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 21, 55, 57, 23, 21) i en første varmevekselsone (21) og uttrekking av en i hovedsaken flytendegjort fødestrøm (25) derfra. Den i hovedsaken flytendegjorte fødestrøm blir kjølt ytterligere i en andre varmevekselsone (27) ved indirekte varmeveksling med en eller flere arbeidsekspanderte kjølemediumstrømmer (29) i et andre kjølesystem (81, 83, 59, (i) 61, 63, 65, 31, 29, 27, 67 & (ii) 69, 71, 73, 75, 77 & 79, 63) og uttrekking derfra av en ytterligere kjølt, i hovedsaken flytendegjort fødestrøm (33). I det minste en (29) av den ene eller de flere arbeidsekspanderte kjølemediumstrømmer tilveiebringes ved komprimering (83) av en eller flere kjølemediumgasser (81) for derved å tilveiebringe en komprimert kjølemediumstrøm (59), kjøling av hele eller en del (61) av den komprimerte kjølemediumstrøm (59) i en tredje varmevekselsone (63) for tilveiebringelse av en kjølt, komprimert kjølemediumstrøm (65), og arbeidsekspandering (31) av den kjølte, komprimerte kjølemediumstrøm (65) for derved å tilveiebringe en eller flere arbeidsekspanderte kjølemediumstrømmer (29). Strømningsraten til et arbeidsekspandert kjølemedium (29) i den andre varmevekselsonen (27) er mindre enn den totale strømningsraten til et eller flere arbeidsekspanderte kjølemedier (67 + 77 = 79) i den tredje varmevekselsonen (63), eller ekstra kjølemengde tilveiebringes i den tredje varmevekselsonen med et tredje kjølesystem (fig. 9, 911, 913, 905, 903, 907, 909, 903).
