Abstract
To reduce the pressure drop of intercoolers and final coolers in a single or multi-stage gas compression, the compressed gas is cooled in direct heat exchange with a liquid cooling medium in a spray tower, for example, instead of by indirect contact in tube-type exchangers. The process is especially amenable to the multi-stage compression of cracking gas wherein a gasoline faction is condensed out in each cooling stage and is used to supplement water as the cooling medium.
