ABSTRACT:
A vapor component of a gas mixture is separated by condensation and is recovered for further use. A solvent vapor mixed with inert gas is condensed in a multistage heat exchange system in a manner which utilizes a first refrigerant to condense a portion of the vapor in a first heat exchange device, a second refrigerant, typically cold inert gas, for condensing a further portion of the vapor in a second heat exchanger and a third heat exchange device wherein the liquid phase of the inert gas (i.e. cryogenic liquid) is supplied to provide a source of refrigeration. In this latter heat exchange device, the cryogenic liquid is introduced into a body of condensed vapor thereby chilling such condensed vapor and stirring the same to avoid freezing. Chilled, condensed vapor is removed from the latter heat exchange device and is returned as a reflux thereto to condense the vapor component of the gaseous mixture supplied thereto. A further portion of the chilled, condensed vapor is recirculated to the body of condensed vapor to assist the stirring of this body to avoid freezing of condensed vapor which is collected from the above heat exchange devices and is passed to a suitable storage facility.
