Calculate turboexpander power recovery, outlet temperature, and refrigeration duty, per GPSA and API 617.
Understand gas expansion work recovery, temperature drop, and power generation
Turboexpanders recover power while cooling gas streams for NGL recovery, providing deeper cooling than JT valves for higher liquid recovery.
This calculator follows GPSA and API 617 standards for turboexpander performance calculations.
A turboexpander achieves lower outlet temperatures and recovers shaft power, resulting in higher NGL recovery compared to a JT (Joule-Thomson) valve.
