ABSTRACT:
An improved system for reducing the work required by a gas compressor in compressing a gas, comprising a gas compressor, a post-compression heat exchanger operably coupled to said gas compressor downstream therefrom to recover heat energy from a compressed amount of gas, and a means for reducing the work required by said gas compressor to compress a pre-compression amount of gas utilizing said recovered heat energy to provide cooling for the pre-compression amount of gas wherein such means includes an absorption chiller using the heat energy of compression to providing cooling for the gas to be compressed prior to compression.
