Abstract
As the movement for carbon neutrality spreads around the world, research on hydrogen energy is also
being actively conducted. In the hydrogen value chain, liquefaction is a particularly energy-intensive process. Although
the operating energy of the hydrogen liquefaction process can vary greatly depending on the season or regional cooling water temperature, previous studies have not taken this into account. In this study, we quantitatively identify the
effect of the change in cooling water temperature on exergy destruction, specific energy consumption (SEC), and coefficient of performance (COP) of the liquefaction process. In addition, we propose a design improvement to reduce
exergy destruction with the exergy analysis of multi-stream heat exchangers. A new design (auxiliary process) that
reduces exergy destruction is proposed by analyzing the device where energy destruction occurs the most. When the
cooling water temperature increases from 20 o
C to 35 o
C, there is a tendency for SEC and exergy destruction to increase
and the COP to decrease. The new design with an auxiliary process shows a decrease in SEC and a reduced rate of
increase in SEC in response to the increase in cooling water temperature. The base case without the auxiliary cycle
shows that the SEC with cooling water of 35 o
C is 14.66% greater than that with cooling water of 20 o
C, while the proposed process shows the rate of increase of 9.70%. This means that adding the auxiliary cycle can improve the energy
efficiency and increase robustness to variations in ambient conditions.
