As it is well known, that the demand for natural gas is growing, because it is the most environmentally friendly type of fuel. In addition to minimal environmental impact, natural gas has good operational and energy characteristics, which makes it an absolute leader in the global energy market. During liquefaction, natural gas becomes 600 times smaller in volume, which allows it to be transported by any ways over long distances. The issue of economic feasibility of transportation is decided on an individual basis. But liquefied natural gas (LNG) production is an energy-intensive process that requires significant operating costs. Therefore, the present work is devoted to the study of the effect of compression pressure on energy consumption in closed loops. The nitrogen and propane cycles are taken as an example.
