    摘要: The present disclosure provides methods and system for the cooling of process plant water. A system can include a first heat exchanger for exchanging heat between a first process water stream and a refrigerant; a multiphase pump, coupled to the first heat exchanger, to increase the pressure of the refrigerant; a second heat exchanger, coupled to the multiphase pump and the first heat exchanger, for exchanging heat between a second process water stream and the refrigerant; a first expansion valve, coupled to the second heat exchanger, for lowering the temperature of the refrigerant; a vapor-liquid separator, coupled to the first expansion valve and the multiphase pump, for separating the liquid and vapor phases of the refrigerant; and a second expansion valve, coupled to the vapor-liquid separator and the first heat exchanger, for lowering the temperature of the liquid phase of the refrigerant.
