This monograph deals with mixed refrigerant processes that operate at temperatures
less than 123 K. Most conventional cryogenic refrigerators and liquefiers operatewith
pure fluids, the major exception being natural gas liquefiers that use mixed refrigerant
processes. The fundamental aspects ofmixed refrigerant processes, though very innovative,
have not received the due attention in the open literature in view of commercial
interests. Hundreds of patents exist on different aspects ofmixed refrigerant processes
for the liquefaction of natural gas and the composition of mixtures for Joule–Thomson
(Linde–Hampson) and other refrigerators. It is difficult to piece together the existing
information to choose an appropriate process and an optimum composition for a given
application. Themain purpose of thismonograph is to explain all the aspects ofmixed
refrigerant processes and the methods for choosing the composition of refrigerants
using robust analytical methods based on sound thermodynamic principles.
Most conventional cryogenic refrigerators and liquefiers operate with pure fluids, the major exception being natural gas liquefiers that use mixed refrigerant processes. The fundamental aspects of mixed refrigerant processes, though very innovative, have not received the due attention in open literature in view of commercial interests. Hundreds of patents exist on different aspects of mixed refrigerant processes. However, it is difficult to piece together the existing information to choose an appropriate process and an optimum composition or a given application. The aim of the book is to teach (a.) the need for refrigerant mixtures, (b.) the type of mixtures that can be used for different refrigeration and liquefaction applications, (c.) the different processes that can be used and (d.) the methods to be adopted for choosing the components of a mixture and their concentration for different applications. |
