Cryocooler Suitable for Gas Liquefaction Applications, Gas Liquefaction System and Method Comprising the Same

The present invention relates to a cryocooler suitable for gas liquefaction applications, that comprises a coldhead (1) with one or more refrigeration stages (2, 3); further comprising: a refrigerator compressor (4) for distributing compressed gas-phase cryogen inside the coldhead (1); a heat exchanging coil (9) arranged at least partially around the external region of the coldhead (1); at least one extraction orifice (8) communicating a gas circulation circuit (5) inside the coldhead (1) with the heat exchanging coil (9); acting said extraction orifice/s (8) as pass-through port/s which allow the gas inside the coldhead (1) to flow through the inside of the heat exchanger coil (9) for exchanging heat with the exterior thereof, and wherein the heat exchanging coil (9) is adapted to connect and redirect the gas to one return port (8′) connected to the gas circulation circuit (5). Another object of the invention relates to a cryogen-gas liquefaction system (11) and a method for liquefaction of gases that comprises said system (11)
