ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the liquefaction of a permanent gas comprising nitrogen. The temperature of the permanent gas stream at a pressure in the range of 75 to 90 atmospheres is reduced to below its initial temperature. Providing at least part of the necessary refrigeration, a single nitrogen working fluid cycle is performed in which the nitrogen working fluid is compressed to a pressure in the range of 75 to 90 atmospheres, cooled to a temperature in the range of 170 to 200 K., work expanded to a temperature in the range of 107 to 120 K., and warmed by heat exchange countercurrently to the permanent gas stream, thereby providing refrigeration for the stream.
