Performance optimizations on a new small scale auto-cascade natural gas liquefier using a rectifying column
a new small scale auto-cascade natural gas liquefier using a rectifying column was presented
and the system performance was simulated and optimized by HYSYS®.The influence of the concentrations of the refrigerant mixture and system pressures on the system performance was analyzed in detail.The results showed that
for different concentrations of refrigerant mixtures
when the inlet pressure arose
the variation trends of the quantity of LNG were divided into two types
the upward convex type and a little change type
and the corresponding variation trends of the energy consumption for the liquefaction of per unit LNG presented the downward concave type and a straight reduction type
while the compressor power and discharge temperature both decreased.Finally
the optimal concentration of the refrigerant mixtures and working condition were obtained aimed at the energy consumption for the liquefaction of per unit LNG.
