Abstract:
Systems and methods for multi-stage refrigeration in mixed refrigerant and cascade refrigeration cycles using one or more liquid motive eductors in combination with a pump.

Claim (Index 1):
A multi-stage refrigeration system, comprising:\n an eductor in fluid communication with a first vapor line and one of a liquid source and a supercritical fluid source; a flashdrum in fluid communication with the eductor for receiving a two-phase fluid, the flashdrum connected to a second vapor line and a liquid line, wherein a pressure in the first vapor line is lower than a pressure in the second vapor line; a first expansion valve in fluid communication with the liquid line and connected to a chilled two-phase fluid line; another flashdrum in fluid communication with the chilled two-phase fluid line and connected to the first vapor line; and a pump positioned upstream of the eductor and in fluid communication with the one of the liquid source and the super-critical fluid source.
