Springer Cryogenic Mixed Refrigerant Processes Monograph

Most conventional cryogenic refrigerators and liquefiers operate using pure fluids, making natural gas liquefiers a major exception through their use of mixed refrigerant processes. While these processes are highly innovative, they have not received sufficient attention in open literature due to commercial interests. This has resulted in hundreds of patents existing on various aspects of the technology, making it difficult for professionals to piece together information to select the right process or optimum composition for a specific application. As part of the International Cryogenics Monograph Series, this book by Springer serves as an essential educational resource. It aims to bridge the gap between patented technical information and practical application. By providing a clear understanding of the fundamental aspects of mixed refrigerant processes, this text helps readers navigate the complexities of choosing appropriate compositions and processes for their specific cryogenic needs.
