Abstract
A compact integrated gas phase separator and subcooler for removing gas phases from a liquid gas and subcooling the liquid gas comprises a subcooler with a subcooler container having a subcooled bath of liquid gas, a gas phase separator having a container submerged in the subcooler bath, a tube for delivering liquid gas from a supply line into the gas phase separator, a coil extending from the gas phase separator for delivering the liquid through the subcooler bath to subcool the liquid and deliver it to an outlet tube to the supply lines. A takeoff tube and float valve delivers gas and liquid from the separator to the subcooler, and the heat from the coil vaporizes some of the liquid in the subcooler to reduce the level of the bath and to operate the float valve to deliver the gas from the separator to the subcooler and to replenish the level of the liquid in the subcooler by delivering liquid to it from the separator.
