Abstract: Apparatus for carbon dioxide liquefaction comprising a flow channel for carbon dioxide passage from an inlet port to an outlet port. The channel comprises a plurality of compressors (2, 5, 8) and coolers (4, 7, 9, 10, 13) arranged in series with an expansion chamber (14, 15) in said flow channel downstream of the final compressor (8) and cooler (9, 10, 13). The apparatus also comprises a recirculation channel (16) arranged to return gaseous carbon dioxide from said expansion chamber (15) into said flow channel (3) upstream of said final compressor (8) and cooler (9, 10, 13).

Abstract: The method and the measuring system in accordance with the invention utilizes a measurement of electrical fields to determine the electrical characteristics of phases in a multi-phase mixture constituting a fluid flow through a conduit. This is used as part of the determination of the phase fractions. Further, one uses time-varying signals from at least one pair of detectors for the electrical characteristics of the fluid, combined with the use of a cross-correlation for determining one or several velocities in the flowing fluid. Additionally, one or several pressure drops are measured across, or adjacent to, a narrow passage. By combining measurements of the electrical characteristics, with measurements of pressure drop, the fractions of all phases in the flow are determined. Combined with measurements of the velocities, the volume flow rates are calculated for the phases and by further combining this with the mass densities of the phases, the mass flow rates of the phases are determined.
