Abstract

Versions are considered for preparing liquefied natural gas (LNG) in liquefiers with different cold producing units; with a throttle valve, a vortex tube, a turbo-expander. A short analysis is given for their efficiency, and disadvantages and advantages are noted. It is proposed to use as a cold producing unit in liquid gas liquefiers an electrogasdynamic (EGD) generator-expander (G-E) using (utilization) the energy of pipeline natural gas. Schemes are provided for a new stage and the construction of a multistage EGD G-E. Versions are shown for inclusion in a natural gas liquefier whose operational analysis shows that they are not surpassed in efficiency by liquefiers with a turbo-expander.
