A facility for recovering carbon dioxide from a feed gas flow, including a unit for treating the feed gas flow in order to produce, from feed gas flow, a carbon dioxide-rich gas flow and a nitrogen-rich gas flow, a compression stage for compressing the feed gas flow, an expansion stage capable of outputting mechanical energy generated by the expansion of the nitrogen-rich gas flow, a thermal device arranged to enable heat transfers to take place between the gas flow leaving the compression stage and the nitrogen-rich gas flow prior to expansion, and a device for utilising the mechanical energy output by the expansion stage.

The invention relates to a facility for cooling a flow of cryogenic fluid comprising a first circuit for fluid to be cooled, for example liquid nitrogen and/or liquid oxygen, a cryogenic refrigerator with a cycle circuit, at least one heat exchanger providing heat exchange with the first circuit for fluid to be cooled and the cycle circuit of the refrigerator, the facility comprising a second circuit for fluid to be liquefied, for example nitrogen gas and/or oxygen gas, the second fluid circuit being in heat exchange with the cycle circuit of the refrigerator in at least one heat exchanger of the facility, the facility being configured so as to be switchable into a first cooling operating mode, in which the facility cools the first fluid circuit in order to cool a liquefied fluid, preferably in order to generate a quasi-isothermal transformation of said fluid, and a second liquefaction operating mode, in which the facility cools the second fluid circuit with a view to liquefying a gas flow.
