    摘要: An air stream (100) is compressed in multiple stages (3a, 3b, 3c) using refrigeration derived from a refrigerant (166, 168) comprising natural gas for inter-stage cooling (4b, 4c). The possibility of natural gas leaking into the air stream is reduced by use of an intermediate cooling medium ("ICM") to transfer (4) the refrigeration from the refrigerant to the inter-stage air stream (102, 104). The compressed air stream can be fed to a cryogenic air separation unit (1) that includes an LNG-based liquefier unit (2) from which a cold natural gas stream is withdrawn for use as said refrigerant.

    摘要: Apparatus, systems, and methods store energy by liquefying a gas such as air, for example, and then recover the energy by regasifying the liquid and combusting or otherwise reacting the gas with a fuel to drive a heat engine. The process of liquefying the gas may be powered with electric power from the grid, for example, and the heat engine may be used to generate electricity. Hence, in effect these apparatus, systems, and methods may provide for storing electric power from the grid and then subsequently delivering it back to the grid.
