Patent ID: 10161675

Abstract:
A natural gas liquefaction system includes a piping rack for supporting a raw material gas transporting pipe for transporting the raw material gas; a pre-cooling heat exchanger for pre-cooling the raw material gas with a first refrigerant; a first refrigerant compressor for compressing the first refrigerant; a plurality of first air-cooled heat exchangers disposed on a top of the piping; a liquefier for liquefying the raw material gas which has been cooled by the pre-cooling heat exchanger, wherein the piping rack has a widened section along a part of a length of the piping rack, wherein the pre-cooling heat exchanger and the first refrigerant compressor are disposed on either side of the widened section of the piping rack, and are connected to each other via a first refrigerant transporting pipe extending in a direction intersecting a lengthwise direction of the piping rack for transporting the first refrigerant.
