Zusammenfassung:In an embodiment, a system for cooling or liquefying a process gas in a motion environment, includes: (a) a separation vessel, wherein the separation vessel includes motion suppressing baffles, wherein the separation vessel separates a high pressure refrigerant stream thereby producing a vapor refrigerant stream and a liquid refrigerant stream; (b) a vapor liquid refrigerant pipe for delivering the liquid refrigerant stream from the separation vessel to an external heat exchanger core; (c) at least one external heat exchanger core, wherein the external heat exchanger core is external to a kettle, wherein the liquid refrigerant stream and a warmer process stream undergo indirect heat exchange in the external heat exchanger core thereby producing a cooled process stream and a vaporized refrigerant stream.
