Prospects for magnetic liquefaction of hydrogen.

Author(s) : BARCLAY J. A.

Summary

The need for more efficient and less expensive hydrogen liquefiers is identified as an important goal for the transition to hydrogen as an alternate fuel. Magnetic liquefaction of hydrogen is identified as a potential means to achieve that goal. The prospects for increased efficiency and reduced capital costs are discussed after the principles of magnetic refrigeration and progress toward active magnetic regenerative refrigerators are presented. The premise that magnetic liquefaction holds promise remains valid.
