    Abstract: The method and the device are used for the cryogenic separation of air. Compressed and purified application air (9, 10, 20) is cooled in a main heat exchanger (30) and is at least partially fed (12, 33) to a rectifying column (50). A first partial flow (26) of the application air is fed to the main heat exchanger (30), is at least partially withdrawn at a first intermediate temperature from the main heat exchanger (28), and is fed to a cold compression (29). The first partial flow (26) is warmed up (27) upstream of its withdrawal (28) at the first intermediate temperature in the main heat exchanger (30).

    Abstract: The S cycle electric power system embodies a separation condensation unit, a Rankine cycle and the S cycle including coal gasification. Coal, oxygen and steam are converted into high temperature and pressure fuel gas in a coal gasifier. The fuel gas is first utilized to heat recycled carbon dioxide and steam, then to drive a compressor turbine group to produce power. In a main gas turbine group, the fuel gas is burned in the recycled carbon dioxide. Three main turbines are operated at three different pressure levels. The exhaust of the third turbine is employed to heat the recycled carbon dioxide from a 6-stage compressor with intercooling, and to produce steam. Part of the steam goes to coal gasification. The rest of the steam generates power by expansion in a steam turbine. An integrated separation condensation unit produces pure oxygen on site, and captures carbon dioxide formed in fuel combustion. The system has high energy efficiency and zero pollutant emissions including carbon dioxide.

    Abstract: A method of liquefying a low-boiling gas, in which gas is compressed to a high pressure, is cooled in heat exchange structure and is isenthalpically expanded to condense a portion of the same to liquid. The liquid being separated from residual gas and the residual gas is used to cool the heat exchange structure and is then recycled. A portion of the gas is compressed to an intermediate pressure between the high and low pressures, is isentropically expanded at a first temperature and is used to cool a relatively warm portion of heat exchange structure and is then recycled. A portion of the high pressure gas is isentropically expanded at a second temperature and used to cool a relatively cool portion of the heat exchange structure and then again isentropically expanded at a third temperature to that low pressure and returned through the heat exchange structure to cool the same and is then recycled. That first temperature is higher than the second temperature and that second temperature is higher than the third temperature. The gas is preferably nitrogen. The cycle can be part of an air separation unit, whose low pressure nitrogen product is make-up for the liquefaction cycle and whose high pressure nitrogen product is merged with the low pressure cycle gas.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the liquefaction of a nitrogen stream produced by separating air components using the combination of cryogenic distillation with improved refrigeration. Very cold liquid natural gas (LNG) is employed as refrigerant, with the LNG concurrently being revaporized for transportation. The requisite circulating liquid is produced by compressing the nitrogen feed streams in a multi-stage compressor, wherein the interstage cooling is provided by heat exchange against the part of the recirculating nitrogen stream yielding a high pressure nitrogen stream. The resulting nitrogen, having a pressure greater than that of the LNG refrigerant, is then used as the circulating fluid to transfer refrigeration from the LNG to other low pressure nitrogen feed streams prior to their cold compression. Also, high pressure nitrogen is used as circulating fluid to transfer refrigeration to precool feed air to cryogenic temperatures prior to its compression in an air separation unit. A portion of the high pressure nitrogen is condensed against vaporizing LNG, followed by reducing the pressure of the condensed, high pressure nitrogen stream, producing a two phase nitrogen stream, which is phase separated into a liquid nitrogen product.
