  • Natural gas liquefaction installation arranged at the surface of an expanse of water, and associated cooling method
    Patent number: 11913715
    Abstract: The installation (10) comprises: —at least one air-cooled heat exchanger (22), the air-cooled heat exchanger (22) comprising a tube bundle capable of accepting a flow (24) that is to be cooled, and a fan capable of causing a flow of air to circulate across the bundle of tubes; —a water spraying assembly (26). The desalination assembly (20) comprises a salt water pickup (100) in the expanse of water (12), the desalination assembly (20) being coupled downstream to the water-spraying assembly (26). The water spraying assembly (26) comprises at least one spray nozzle opening into the bundle of tubes, the or each spray nozzle being directed towards the tubes of the tube bundle so as to spray liquid demineralised water coming from the desalination assembly (20) into contact with the tubes of the tube bundle.
