  • the regulation of this pressure makes it possible to adjust the pressure in the condenser to a set value.
  • This regulation can also be useful, for example, when the level in the reservoir is high and when the production of liquefied natural gas is reduced, to avoid saturating the condenser with gas in the liquid state.
