Helium, hydrogen and methane liquefaction with Reverse-Brayton & Joule-Thomson cycles, boosted by sub-sink cooled compression and hybrid compression or coabsorbent technology ultra-low temperature refrigeration.

Number: pap. n. 375

Author(s) : STAICOVICI M. D.

Summary

A new gas liquefaction cycle, noted by SCC-HC/CBS-RB&JT, is presented as an improved version of a first cycle introduced in a former author paper. The cycle is a joint of Reverse Brayton (RB), run by helium, and Joule-Thomson (JT), run by the gas to be liquefied. It benefits of new main features, such as: a) the gas precooling at ?????? = -75? and ???????? = 15? is boosted by sub-sink cooled compression (SCC), applied to both joint cycles; b) the SCC is performed by Hybrid Compression (HC) or Coabsorbent (CBS) technology, run in the ultra-low temperature refrigeration (ULTR) domain; c) the RB&JT joint is improved, to increase efficiency and feasibility. A simple algorithm for assessment of the specific work consumption and effectiveness of HC and CBS -ULTR technologies, run in different operation conditions by ????3 - ??2?? and ????3, is given. Next, the SCC-HC/CBSRB&JT is described and modeled. Depending on ULTR type, the model results of HeL, HL and LNG show ??????????,??????-????/??????-????&???? is by 10-20 times smaller, up to 7,5 % out of the specific hydrogen heating value and by 2-4 times less, respectively, as compared to ?????????? of current technologies in kind.
