The scroll pump is widely used in ultra clean vacuum systems. However, there is no commonly available information on the hydrogen pumping characteristics of this pump, which creates a difficulty in determining whether the scroll pump can be used or not in a fusion experiment system where hydrogen ,is the main working gas. In this paper the experimental setup, measurement procedures, experimental results, and discussions on the pumping speed, the maximum compression ratio and the back-streaming properties of the scroll pump, especially for the hydrogen gas, are reported.

During the hydrogen fueling process, hydrogen temperature inside the compressed tank were limited below 85℃ due to the allowable pressure of tank material. The chiller system to cool compressed hydrogen used R407C, greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential (GWP), as a refrigerant. To reduce greehouse gas emission, it should be replaced by refrigerant with a low GWP. This study proposes a chiller system for fueling hydrogen with R290, consisted in propane, by applying the C3 pre-cooled system use d in the LNG liquefaction process. The proposed system consisted of hydrogen compression and cooling sections and optimized the operating pressure through exergy analysis. It was also compared to the exergy efficiency with the existing system at the optimal operating pressure. The result showed that the optimal operating pressure is 700 kPa in 2-stage, 840 kPa/490 kPa in 3-stage, and the exergy efficiency increased by 17%.

Renewability and pollutant free energy source makes hydrogen energy popular rapidly. Hydrogen gas pressure which is after passing through reciprocating compressor part has high pulsation wave form. A unit, snubber is used as compressor components to reduce the harmful pulsation waveform and to remove the impurities in the hydrogen gas. An experiment has been conducted to investigate the pulsation reduction performance of a steel pipe used in snubber system. The amplitude of pressure reduction were varied from $0.054{\sim}0.321\;kPa$ for 10 hz to 60 hz motor speed. Compressor operation by motor with 10 to 60 hz were resulted in reduction of pressure pulsation from 16.415% to 35.151%. Pressure losses were varied from $0.001%{\sim}0.759%$, and pressure drop per centimeter of the steel pipe were varied from $0.0160{\sim}16.03\;Pa$.

Numerical analysis information of a complex discharge-passage will be very useful to improve hydrogen compression system. General information about an internal gas flow is presented by numerical analysis approach. Relating with hydrogen compressing system, which have an important role in hydrogen energy utilization, this should be a useful tool to observe the flow quickly and clearly. Flow characteristic analysis, including pressure and turbulence kinetic energy distribution of hydrogen gas from cylinder going to the chamber of a reciprocating compressor are presented in this paper. Discharge-passage model is designed based on real model of hydrogen compressor. Pressure boundary conditions are applied considering the real condition of operating system. The result shows pressure and turbulence kinetic energy are not distributed uniformly along the passage of the hydrogen compressing system. Path line or particles tracks help to demonstrate flow characteristics inside the passage. The existence of vortices and flow direction can be precisely predicted. Based on this result, the design improvement should be done. Consequently, development of the better hydrogen compressing system will be achieved.

China's rapid economic growth has resulted in significant environmental side effects. Therefore, China has been interested in reducing her dependence on foreign oil and gas by developing technologies needed for hydrogen, in addition to her increasing energy mix of nuclear and renewable energy form, such as solar and wind power. There are three isotopes of hydrogen, i.e. protium (P or H), deuterium (D), and tritium (T). Both deuterium and tritium are important materials in nuclear fuel cycle industry. Tritium is one of the critical radioactive nuclides. Planning for and implementing contamination control as a part of normal operation and maintenance activities is an important function in any hydrogen facility, especially tritium facility. The development of hydrogen isotopes analysis is the key issues in this area. Mass spectrometry (MS) with medium (about 600) and high resolution (> 1,400) is commercially available; however, the routine analysis of hydrogen isotopes is done with low-resolution MS (< 200) in China. This paper summarizes the progress of MS measurement technology for hydrogen isotope abundance in China, focusing on our lab's research program and technical status. An analyzing method has been introduced for accurate measurement of tritium abundance in the H.D.T system by low resolution MAT-253 MS. The quotient of compression ratio coefficient is determined by building up equipment for laboratory-scale preparation of secondary standard gases and by considering the difference in sensitivity between hydrogen isotopes. The results show that the measured value is reproducible within the relative error range of 0.8% for gas samples of different tritium abundance.

Relating with hydrogen compressing system, which have an important role in hydrogen energy utilization, this should be a useful tool to observe the flow quickly and clearly. Flow characteristic analysis, including pressure and turbulence kinetic energy distribution of hydrogen gas coming to the cylinder of a reciprocating compressor are presented in this paper. Suction-passage model is designed based on real model of hydrogen compressor. Pressure boundary conditions are applied considering the real condition of operating system. The result shows pressure and turbulence kinetic energy are not distributed uniformly along the passage of the Hydrogen system. Path line or particles tracks help to demonstrate flow characteristics inside the passage. The existence of vortices and flow direction can be precisely predicted. Based on this result, the design improvement, such as reducing the varying flow parameters and flow reorientation should be done. Consequently, development of the better hydrogen compressing system will be achieved.

In this research, the diesel cycle was thermodynamically interpreted to evaluate the possibility of high efficiency by converting diesel engine to the atkinson cycle, and general cycle features were analyzed after comparing these two cycles. That an experimental single cylinder and a long stroke diesel-atkinson engine, of which S/B ratio was more than 3, were manufactured. After evaluating the engine through basic experiments, a diesel engine was converted into the atkinson cycle by constituent VCR (variable compression ratio) device and VVT (variable valve timing) system. The experimental method was to observe compression work reduction effects due to low compression effects from delayed intake valve closing of the early stage atkinson engine. The result, the possibility of increasing compression ratio about each engine load was confirmation by constructing compensate expansion-compression ratio in accordance with the delayed intake valve close.

BOG (Boil Off Gas) generation is unavoidable in the liquefied hydrogen carrier, and proper measures are necessary to prevent pressure problems inside the cargo tank. The BOG can be used as propulsion fuel for ships, and the remaining parts used for propulsion must be effectively managed, such as in the form of reliquefying or burning. This study proposes an BOG reliquefaction system optimized for a 160,000 m3 liquefied hydrogen carrier with a hydrogen propulsion system. The system comprises a hydrogen compression and helium refrigerant section, and increases the efficiency by effectively using the cold energy of the BOG discharged from the cargo tank. In this study, the system was evaluated through the exergy efficiency and SEC (Specific Energy Consumption) analysis according to the rate of the reliquefaction of the BOG while the hydrogen BOG with a supply temperature of -220℃ entered the reliquefaction system. As a result, it showed SEC of 4.11 kWh/kgLH2 and exergy efficiency of 60.1% at the rate of reliquefaction of 20%. And the parametric study of the effects of varying the hydrogen compression pressure, inlet temperature of the hydrogen expander, and the feed hydrogen temperature was conducted.
