Abstract (en)

[origin: US2016216013A1] In a method for separation at sub-ambient temperature, a mixture of fluid at sub-ambient temperature is sent to a system of separation columns comprising at least one separation column, a fluid enriched in a lighter component of the mixture leaves the top of one column of the system and a fluid enriched in a heavier component is withdrawn from the bottom of one column of the system, the cold source of a heat pump using the magnetocaloric effect is thermally connected to a first zone of one column of the system and the hot source of the same heat pump is thermally connected to a second zone of the same or of another column of the system.
