FIELD: power mechanical engineering; gas transportation systems for generation of electric power, cold resources and liquid fractions of heavy hydrocarbons from natural gas. SUBSTANCE: proposed complex includes heat exchanger; positive feedback is applied to first vortex tube by "hot" loop connected with inlet of second vortex tube through heat exchanger. Proposed complex is used for utilization of energy of pressure differential at gas distributing stations for obtaining finished useful product in maximum amount , viz.: electric power, cold and liquid fractions of heavy hydrocarbons. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency; avoidance of use of fuel and power sources. 3 cl, 2 dwg
