Abstract
AbstractHydrogen liquefaction is essential for the efficient storage and transportation of hydrogen. In the liquefaction process, catalytic ortho‐para conversion is crucial to achieve a product with at least 95 % para‐hydrogen to reduce boil‐off losses. The proposed hydrogen liquefaction process using a catalyst‐filled heat exchanger for continuous ortho‐para conversion is modeled through steady‐state thermal simulations in Aspen HYSYS. Additionally, an ejector is integrated to reliquefy boil‐off gas. The proposed design achieves a specific energy consumption (SEC) of 10.50 kWh ()−1 and an exergy efficiency (EXE) of 30.1 %, which is 18 % lower in SEC compared to processes with separate converters. The integrated approach enhances energy utilization and offers references for future hydrogen liquefiers.
