PCT No. PCT/EP96/01638 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 28, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 28, 1998 PCT Filed Apr. 17, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/33379 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 24, 1996Method of cooling a fluid stream which passes through a hot side (Id, Ib, Ic) of a main heat exchanger (I) comprising removing refrigerant from the main heat exchanger (I); compressing refrigerant in a two-stage compressor unit (7) to obtain refrigerant at high pressure; partly condensing (12) the refrigerant to obtain a first two-phase fluid, and separating (13) the first two-phase fluid into a first condensed fraction (15) and a first gaseous fraction (16); cooling the first condensed fraction (15) in an auxiliary heat exchanger (2) to obtain a cooled first condensed fraction (18), cooling the first gaseous fraction (16) in the auxiliary heat exchanger (2) to obtain a second two-phase fluid (26), wherein cooling is provided by liquid evaporating at intermediate pressure in the cold side (2a); separating (28) the second two-phase fluid into a second condensed fraction (33) and a second gaseous fraction (32); allowing part of the second condensed fraction (49) to evaporate in the cold side (2a) of the auxiliary heat exchanger (2); and cooling the remainder of the second condensed fraction (33) in the main heat exchanger (1) to obtain a cooled second condensed fraction, and cooling the second gaseous fraction in the main heat exchanger (1), wherein cooling is provided by liquid evaporating at low pressure in the cold side (1a) of the main heat exchanger (1). |
