Abstract
The possibility for creation of a cryogenic “wave expander” (WE) not inferior in thermodynamic efficiency to a classical expander-compressor has been checked experimentally. The influence of individual design parameters on the thermodynamic efficiency of the WE operating at cyrogenic temperatures and consuming a relatively small amount (500-1800 m 3 /h) of natural gas has been investigated. A schematic diagram of the experimental bench with a closed passive-gas loop is shown. Calculated and experimental data on the influence of the degree of expansion of the active flow on the adiabatic efficiency and the degree of compression of the passive flow on the relative gas consumption are cited.
