Abstract
A fluid cooling apparatus capable of improving liquefaction efficiency of a fluid by appropriately cooling the fluid in various temperature ranges through a simple process. The fluid cooling apparatus includes an expansion unit including a plurality of expanders, which receive refrigerants through a plurality of paths to expand the refrigerants and discharge the expanded refrigerants having different temperatures, a heat exchanger receiving the refrigerants having different temperatures from the expansion unit to cool the fluid in multistages, a precompression unit including a plurality of precompressors, which receive the refrigerants passing through the heat exchanger to compress the refrigerants and discharge the compressed refrigerants at the same pressure, a mixing tube configured to mix the refrigerants discharged from the precompression unit to supply the mixed refrigerant, and a main compression unit connected to the mixing tube to compress the mixed refrigerant and supply the compressed refrigerant to the expansion unit.
