Abstract: Ii is standard practice in the gas utility industry 10 reduce ilie pressure of pipeline gas received at pressures of 200 psig or greater to distribution operating pressure of 15 psig or lower. Theis is achieved via a simple throttling process using reducing valves in pressure reducing (gate) stations. Although the high pressure gas has a large work-producing energy potential for the production of refrigeration, the throttling process does not utilize this resource. It is conservatively estimated that 200 billion BTUs of energy are wasted annually in this fashion in the United States. Consequently, the Brooklyn Union Gas Company (BUG) embarked on a unique program to determine the technical and economic feasibility of recovering energy in the form of refrigeration from a gate station. The ultimate goal of the study was to determine the economic potential of delivering the generated refrigeration as a saleable commodity.
