lng export terminal

1. Is this basically a compression refrigeration process, with a compressor, condenser, evaporator and expansion valve please disregard the quantity like one, two, etc. and the exact types e.g. plate and frame, etc.

2. What is the refrigerant here, like say freon in a house air-conditioner is it the lng?

3. What is the other media in the evaporator and the condenser the one that exchanges heat with the refrigerant?

4. What drops the high pressure of the condenser to the low pressure of the evaporator?

5. This last device cannot be an expander because the substance is still in liquid form. Then is this a joule-thomson effect through a valve?

Thank you very much
 
A few minutes with Mr google found this as attached, or search " lng process apci explained" Does a much better job than I could ever do.
