| description | <p>Liquid hydrogen is a superior alternative for the current energy storage methods and energy carriers as it has higher energy density and cleanliness. However, hydrogen liquefaction is an energy-intensive process. In particular, the precooling process of hydrogen consumes a tremendous portion of about 30 % of the total compression power of the plant. Several previous studies introduced various pure-refrigerant and single mixed refrigerant (SMR) precooling processes, however, their specific energy consumption (SEC) still very high especially at large-scale capacities. Therefore, this study presents a novel, efficient, and large-scale dual-mixed refrigerant (DMR) process to precool the hydrogen from 25 °C to -192 °C at a pressure of 21 bar. New heavyweight-based mixed refrigerant MR1 and lightweight-based mixed refrigerant MR2 are developed for the DMR process using a new-proposed systematic approach. The proposed DMR process is capable of handling a wide range of hydrogen flow from 100 TPD to 1000 TPD with SEC of 0.862 kWh/kgH2Feed, which is 20.33 % lower than the most competitive SMR process available in the literature. Based on the sensitivity analysis, further optimization of the DMR operating parameters reduced the SEC to 0.833 kWh/kgH2Feed at an optimal capacity of 500 TPD. Furthermore, the COP of the new process is improved by 14.47 % and the total annualized cost is reduced by 12.24 %. Compared to five other technologies that use the pure-refrigerant and other SMR precooling processes, the DMR reduces the SEC by 39.0 % to 63.0 %. The novel precooling process presented herein has the potential to drive the development of large-scale hydrogen liquefaction processes.</p><h2>Other Information</h2> <p> Published in: Journal of Energy Storage<br> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2023.107471" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2023.107471</a></p> |
