Cooling of natural gas flows
Das innerhalb des Kältemittelkreislaufes zirkulierende Kältemittel wird hierbei ein- oder mehrstufig verdichtet, im Regelfall "gegen sich selbst" abgekühlt, kälteleistend entspannt and "gegen" das abzukühlende Medium angewärmt und verdampft.
I am not quite sure what meaning to assume for the two instances of "gegen". Advice would be appreciated.
