If it is 1 atm or more, the liquefaction temperature becomes higher than -56 ° C. and it is easy to liquefy, but CO 2 gas must be compressed to a high pressure, and the compression power increases, which is not preferable. Therefore, it is preferable to liquefy as low a pressure as possible, but a temperature of about -50 ° C higher than the solidification temperature by about -50 ° C is safe and preferable, and in this case, the vapor pressure of CO 2 is about 6.7 atm. 100 if the pressure is slightly higher than 6.7 atm

In order to be a liquid, the temperature must be at least 31 ° C or lower.

182) the intermediate refrigerant used, for example, propane, has a solidification temperature (or melting point) of −187.7 ° C.
Since it is lower than 0 ℃, propane does not solidify even at -160 ℃, but if propane leaks into the outside air, it easily ignites and explodes if there is a fire source, so a large plant that liquefies a large amount of CO 2 is liquefied. Then, the measures are desired. The present inventors have arrived at the present invention as a result of earnestly examining the measures.

すい欠点を有している。That is, as shown in Table 3, CHF 3 , CF 3 CF 3 and CF 3 among the new CFC-free CFCs are used.
CHF 2 and CH 2 FCF 3 are substances that are extremely safe and harmless, with no flammability, no harm to the human body, and an ozone depletion coefficient in the atmosphere of zero. However, as shown in Table 3, the melting point of these substances is slightly higher than -160 ° C, and they have a drawback that they are easily solidified and solidified by LNG at normal pressure (-160 ° C).

By adding and mixing to the fluorinated hydrocarbon shown in
The present invention has been completed by finding that it is possible to prevent solidification and solidification.

Since it vaporizes at ℃, the main component of the intermediate refrigerant mixture is the fluorinated hydrocarbon (CHF 3 in this case ) shown in Table 3, and additives such as ethane, ethylene, propane and propylene having a melting point of −160 ° C. or less are used. The amount of addition is -160
The intermediate refrigerant mixture is not substantially solidified at 0 ° C., and the upper limit of the additive amount is such that the intermediate refrigerant + additive mixture does not ignite or explode in the air.

ができるが、ＬＮＧを加圧するにはポンプが必要となり
それだけ経済的に不利となる。On the other hand, when LNG is pressurized, the boiling point of methane, which is the main component of LNG, becomes high as shown in Table 5 below, so that the melting points of the fluorinated hydrocarbon and its additive are accordingly changed to those in the above table. 3, a wide range can be selected from Table 4, but a pump is required to pressurize LNG, which is economically disadvantageous.

The closer the vapor pressure of the refrigerant is to atmospheric pressure, the lower the apparatus cost. Therefore, the boiling point of the intermediate refrigerant mixture under atmospheric pressure is preferably about -56 ° C.
