Abstract

The invention relates to a high-pressure natural gas liquefying system and method. The high-pressure natural gas liquefying system comprises a cold box, a refrigeration compressor, a BOG compressor, ahigh-pressure gas expander, a low-pressure gas expander, an LNG hydraulic turbine, an LNG flash tank and a raw material gas inlet pipeline. The cold box comprises a cold box high-temperature sectionand a cold box low-temperature section. The refrigeration compressor comprises a first refrigeration compressor section and a second refrigeration compressor section. The low-pressure gas expander isconnected with the first refrigeration compressor section, and the high-pressure gas expander is connected with the first refrigeration compressor section and the second refrigeration compressor section. The LNG hydraulic turbine is connected with the BOG compressor. According to the high-pressure natural gas liquefying system, the low-pressure gas expander and the high-pressure gas expander are connected with the refrigeration compressor, and the LNG hydraulic turbine and the BOG compressor are connected, so that the low-pressure gas expander and the high-pressure gas expander together drivethe refrigeration compressor, the LNG hydraulic turbine drives the BOG compressor, and the whole high-pressure natural gas liquefying system does not need to consume external energy resources when operates normally.
