Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de refroidissement d'un échangeur de chaleur cryogénique conçu pour liquéfier un flux d'hydrocarbures, tel qu'un flux de gaz naturel. Le procédé consiste à : (i) recevoir une ou plusieurs indications de température de fluide frigorigène, fournissant une indication de la température du fluide frigorigène, (ii) comparer la ou les indications de température de fluide frigorigène à une ou plusieurs valeurs de seuil prédéfinies associées, et (iii), sur la base du résultat de la comparaison sous (ii), sélectionner une procédure parmi une procédure de refroidissement par chaud automatisée de l'échangeur de chaleur cryogénique et une procédure de refroidissement par froid automatisée de l'échangeur de chaleur cryogénique.
