The Kleemenko cycle or
one-flow cascade cycle is a single-stream mixed-refrigerant technique used to cool or
liquefy gases. The term "Kleemenko cycle" is used in
refrigeration
The term refrigeration refers to the process of removing heat from an enclosed space or substance for the purpose of lowering the temperature.International Dictionary of Refrigeration, http://dictionary.iifiir.org/search.phpASHRAE Terminology, ht ...
if multi-component refrigerants (MCR) are used in a cycle.
The Russian scientist
Aleksandr Petrovich Klimenko (Александр Петрович Клименко) described the one-flow cascade cycle in the Proceedings of XIII International Conference of Refrigeration in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1959. It was published in "Progress in Refrigeration Science and Technology", Volume, I Pergamon Press, 1960, pp. 34–39.
