  • In this paper, comparative studies between Linde, Claude and advanced cycle for the liquefaction of nitrogen have been completed. PRO/II with PROVISION release 2021. 1 from AVEVA company (Cambridge, UK) was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model with Twu's alpha function was selected for the modeling of the condensation of nitrogen. When using Claude liquefaction, we can reduce the total compression power by 49.25% for the comparison of Linde cycle. And finally, we could conclude that 90.41% of total compression power was saved when using an advanced cycle being compared to Linde liquefaction cycle.

  • The process of separating oxygen and nitrogen from the air is mainly performed by electric liquefaction, which consumes a lot of electricity, resulting in higher operating costs. On the other hand, when used for cold energy of LNG, electric power can be reduced compared to the electric Linde cycle. Currently, LNG cold energy is used in the cold refrigeration warehouse, separation of air-liquefaction, and LNG cold energy generation in Japan. In this study, the system using LNG cold energy and the Linde cycle process system were simulated by PRO/II simulators, respectively, to cool the elevated air temperature from the compressor to about $-183^{\circ}C$ in the air liquefaction separation process. The required amount of electricity was compared with the latent heat utilization fraction of LNG, the LNG supply pressure, and the LNG cold energy usage. At the air flow rate of $17,600m^3/h$, the power source unit of the Linde cycle system was $0.77kWh/m^3$, compared with $0.3kWh/m^3$.

  • The heat of evaporation (cold energy) of LNG is the energy consumed in the production of LNG. This energy amounts to 14% of the NG. In Pyungtak LNG terminal, it is about 96 MW in 1993. In order to utilize the cold energy, the cold power generation systems are investigated: The Rankine cycle using the low temperature energy, the partial expansion cycle using the pressure energy, and the Linde process which is a combined cycle of the Rankine and the partial direct expansion cycle. The commercial simulator, ASPEN Plus, is used. The conceptual design data are obtained from the current facilities of the Pyungtak LNG terminal. The performances of three systems are evaluated. The amount of electric power ranges iron 3 MW to 6MW. The optimum energy efficiency is about 37%. The optimum design conditions are obtained for the partial direct expansion (PDE) cycle. The performance of the PDE cycle is supposed to be comparable to that of the Rankine cycle if the areas of the total heat exchanger of the both cycle are equal.

  • 냉열발전기술은 일본에서 많이 연구되어 다수의 상업 플랜트가 가동되고 있다. 일본에서는 천연가스 공급압력의 이원화(40 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 10 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$)로 직접 팽창방식을 적용할 수 있어 냉열발전의 경제성이 유리한 반면 국내에서는 비교적 높은 압력(70kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$)의 단일 압력 공급체계에 적합한 냉열발전 시스템을 모색하여야 한다. 특히 발전용량 규모가 비교적 적은 냉열발전 시스템의 경제성 측면의 불리한 점을 고려할 때 적용 가능한 해당 발전공정들에 대해 전산모사의 방법을 이용하여 다양한 설계조건에서 최적의 조건들을 검토하여야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 LNG의 저온 Exergy를 이용한 Rankine Cycle, LNG의 압력 Exergy를 이용한 부분팽창 Cycle 및 이 두 싸이클의 혼합 공정인 Linde 공정에 대해 현재 인수기지에서 운영되고있는 각종 설비들의 설계 데이타를 기준으로 상용모사기인 ASPEN PLUS를 이용, 국내 천연가스 공급 체계에 의거 각 공정별 최대 및 최적의 전력 발생 조건들을 검토하였다. 공정별 출력 및 엑서지 효율을 비교한 결과 약 3 ~ 6 Mw의 전력을 생산할 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며 최대 엑서지 효율은 37 %를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 부분직접팽창방식의 최적시스템을 제시하였고 동일한 전열면적인 경우 부분직접팽창과 랭킨 싸이클의 성능은 비슷한 것으로 확인되었다.

  • A thermodynamic cycle analysis is performed for refrigerator-precooled Linde-Hampson hydrogen liquefiers, including catalysts for the ortho-to-para conversion. Three different configurations of the liquefying system, depending upon the method of the o-p conversion, are selected for the analysis. After some simplifying and justifiable assumptions are made, a general analysis program to predict the liquid yield and the figure of merit (FOM) is developed with incorporating the commercial computer code for the thermodynamic properties of hydrogen. The discussion is focused on the effect of the two primary design parameters - the precooling temperature and the high pressure of the cycle. When the precooling temperature is in a range between 45 and 60 K, the optimal high pressure for the maximal liquid yield is found to be about 100 to 140 bar, regardless of the ortho-to-para conversion. However, the FOM can be maximized at slightly lower high pressures, 75 to 130 bar. It is concluded that the good performance of the precooling refrigerator is significant in the liquefiers, because at low precooling temperatures high values of the liquid yield and the FOM can be achieved without compression of gas to a very high pressure.

  • Thermodynamic cycle analysis has been performed to maximize the liquid amount for two hydrogen liquefaction systems using two-stage GM(Gifford-McMahon) refrigerator. the optimal operating conditions have been analytically sought with real properties of normal hydrogen for the two-stage GM direct contact system and the two-stage GM precooled L-H (Linde-Hampson) system. In the precooled system, there existed optimal values for compressed mass flow and compressed pressure to maximize the liquefied mass. It was recommended to use a cryocooler, which had a large precooling capacity between 70 and 100K.

It is remarkable to observe that the lower precooling temperatures are favorable since both the liquid yield and the FOM can be obtained without compressing hygrogen to extremely high pressures.

  • Thermodynamic cycle analysis has been performed to maximize the liquid amount for various hydrogen liquefaction systems using GM(Gifford-McMahon) refrigerator. Since the present authors' previous experiments showed that the liquefaction rate was approximately 5.1mg/s in a direct contact with a commercial GM refrigerator, the purpose of this study is to predict how much the liquefaction rate can be increased in different configurations and with improved heat exchanger performance. The optimal operating conditions have been analytically sought with real properties of normal hydrogen for the single-stage GM precooled L-H(Linde-Hampson) system, the two-stage GM direct contact system, the two-stage GM precooled L-H system and the two-stage helium GM-JT (Joule-Thomson) system. The maximum liquefaction rate has been predicted to be only about 7 times greater than the previous experiment, when the two-stage precooling is employed and the effectiveness of heat exchangers approaches to 99.0%. It is concluded that the liquefaction rate is limited mainly by the cooling capacity of the current GM refrigerators and a larger scale of hydrogen liquefaction is possible with a greater capacity of cryocooler at 60-70 K range.

  • Thermodynamic cycle analysis is presented to estimate the maximum liquefaction rate of hydrogen for various systems using a Gifford-McMahon(GM) cryocooler. Since the present authors` previous experiments showed that the gaseous hydrogen was liquefied approximately at the rate of 5.1 mg/s from the direct contact with a commercial two-stage GM refrigerator, this study has been proposed to predict how much the liquefaction rate can be increased in different configurations using the GM cooler and with improved heat exchangers. The optimal operating conditions have been analytically sought with real properties of normal hydrogen for the Linde-Hampson(L-H) system precooled by single-stage GM, the direct-contact system with two-stage GM, the L-H system precooled by two-stage GM, and the direct-contact system with helium GM-JT (Joule-Thomson). The maximum liquefaction rate has been predicted to be only about 7 times greater than the previous experiment, even though the highly effective heat exchangers may be employed. It is concluded that the liquefaction rate is limited mainly because of the cooling capacity of the commercially available GM cryocoolers and a practical scale of hydrogen liquefaction is possible only if the GM cooler has a greater capacity at 70-100 K.
