ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a closed-loop, multi-stage compression refrigeration system which uses a multi-component refrigerant wherein the compressed refrigerant is partially condensed, and the vapor and liquid streams are separated in a primary separator. The liquid stream passes through several expansion stages, providing a refrigeration duty at each stage. That portion of the refrigerant which is vaporized is recycled to an intermediate stage of the multi-stage compressor. The vapor from the primary separator, which is rich in the light component, is condensed and expanded to the lowest stage of refrigeration, providing maximum refrigeration duty for a given refrigerant composition and compressor suction pressure.
