In refrigeration, flash-gas is refrigerant in gas form produced spontaneously when the condensed liquid is subjected to boiling. The presence of flash-gas in the liquid lines reduces the efficiency of ...

The HVAC industry has seen a significant increase in thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) usage in the past decade. In 2006, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) set new standards for newly manufactured ...

CO₂ as a refrigerant (R-744) has been around since 1850. However, the emergence of lower-pressure, “safer” refrigerants, such as R-502, R-12, and R-22, drastically reduced its demand. Eventually, due ...

Using ethylene glycol (EG) for hydrate inhibition in a natural gas refrigeration plant to recover LPGs is common. It's important, however, that the EG regeneration loop be properly designed to ...

Removing and selling NGL from the produced gas stream is one on the ways CO 2 enhanced oil recovery projects can improve their economics. These projects involve gas recycling into the reservoir for ...
