    Abstract: A cooling system and a related method is presented. The cooling system includes a reservoir configured to selectively supply a cooling fluid; a circulation loop fluidly coupled to the reservoir, and configured to circulate the cooling fluid to and from the reservoir, and a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the circulation loop and configured to exchange heat with the cooling fluid. The reservoir includes a refrigerant and an anti-freeze additive. The anti-freeze additive is characterized by a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) such that when an operating temperature of the reservoir is greater than the LCST, the reservoir is configured to supply a cooling fluid including the refrigerant to the circulation loop; and when the operating temperature of the reservoir is lower than the LCST, the reservoir is configured to supply a cooling fluid including the refrigerant and the anti-freeze additive to the circulation loop.

    Abstract: A system for natural gas liquefaction includes a natural gas source for providing a flow of natural gas and a moisture removal system located downstream of the natural gas source. The system includes a first heat exchanger located downstream of the moisture removal system for exchanging heat between the natural gas flow path and a first refrigerant flow path of a refrigerant cycle subsystem. The system includes one first throttle valve located downstream of heat exchanger for expanding the flow of natural gas and causing reduction in pressure and temperature of the flow of natural gas. The system includes a filter subassembly for separating solid particles present in the flow of natural gas. The system includes a second heat exchanger located downstream of the filter subassembly and is configured to transfer heat from a natural gas vapor flow path to a second refrigerant flow path of the refrigeration cycle subsystem.

    Abstract: A filter assembly for use in a natural gas liquefaction system is provided. The filter assembly includes a filter house that includes a first portion, a filter element positioned within the first portion and configured to collect solids entrained in slurry on a surface thereof, and a valve coupled to the first portion. A cleaning system is coupled to the filter house and configured to remove the solids from the surface of said filter element. The valve selectively actuates to facilitate removal of the solids from the surface of the filter element and channeling of the solids from the first portion through the valve.
