A refrigerant compressor circuit for use in a liquefaction plant includes a first compression string driven by a first driver; a second compression string driven by a second driver, a pre-cooling refrigerant compression stage arranged in the first compression string to receive a stream of pre-cooling refrigerant at an inlet pressure and discharge the pre-cooling refrigerant at an outlet pressure, a first compression stage arranged in the first compression string to compress a mixed refrigerant gas from a first pressure to a second pressure, and, a second compression stage arranged in the second compression string to compress the mixed refrigerant gas from the second pressure to a third pressure. The pre-cooling refrigerant compression stage and the first compression stage of the circuit are co-axially mounted on a first shaft drivingly coupled to a first driver in the first compression string. |
