Abstract

For the hydrogen liquefaction, the large amount of energy is consumed, because precooling, liquefaction and ortho/para conversion heats should be eliminated. In this paper the basic design and thermal analysis are carried out to reduce the energy consumption by using LNG cold energy for precooling process in hydrogen liquefaction processes. The LNG cold energy utilization for hydrogen precooling enables not only to get energy saving for liquefaction, but to recover the wasted cold energy to sea water at the LNG terminal. The results show that the energy saving rate for liquefaction using LNG cold energy is almost 75% of current industrial hydrogen liquefaction plant. The demand flow-rate of LNG is only 15T/D for 1T/D hydrogen liquefaction.
