	%X Power Regeneration in Refrigeration Plant concept
has been analyzed and has been shown to be capable of saving about
25% power in Cryogenic Plants with the Power Regeneration System
(PRS) running under nominal conditions. The innovative component
Compressor Expander Group (CEG) based on turbomachinery has
been designed and built modifying CETT compressor and expander,
both selected for optimum plant performance. Experiments have
shown the good response of the turbomachines to run with R404a as
working fluid. Power saving up to 12% under PRS derated conditions
(50% loading) has been demonstrated. Such experiments allowed
predicting a power saving up to 25% under CEG full load.
