    摘要: A hydrogen liquefaction system that utilizes two separate compression services, one controlled via pressure and the other via capacitance, to maintain the rotating equipment at its design point. The system also employs an intermediate flash drum to capture boil off gas and a catalyst bed to convert para-hydrogen into ortho-hydrogen. Changing pressure levels within the turbo expander loop are used to transfer hydrogen from the expander loop into the “condensate” or “feed” streams, while maintaining the “condensate” stream at a constant pressure. The system is capable of efficiently producing high-purity liquid hydrogen at a low cost, making it a valuable tool in industries such as fuel cells, energy storage, and aerospace.

    摘要: A device for liquefying gaseous dihydrogen resulting from the evaporation of dihydrogen in the liquid state stored in a tank includes: a heat exchanger, a feed branch configured to convey a portion of the gaseous dihydrogen from the tank to a gaseous dihydrogen consumer, a part of the feed branch passing through the heat exchanger inside of which is placed a catalyst that is involved in the conversion of the parahydrogen to orthohydrogen, and a cooling branch including a compression member; a portion of the cooling branch passing through the heat exchanger exchanges heat with the first pass in order to liquefy a portion of the dihydrogen circulating in the cooling branch and to heat the dihydrogen circulating in the feed branch.

    摘要: This invention is directed to a method for recovering, purifying and recycling an inert gas on a continual basis in connection with a silicon crystal pulling process. Silicon oxide impurities generated during the crystal growth process are completely oxidized by in-situ oxidation with a regulated amount of an oxidizing source gas mixture to form silicon dioxide impurities, which can be removed by a particulate removal device. The particulate-free effluent enters a purification unit to remove the remaining impurities. The inert gas emerging from the purification unit can be fed back into the crystal puller apparatus and/or mixed with the oxidizing source gas mixture. As a result, the ability to increase silicon crystal throughput, quality and at the same time reduce the costs associated with recycling the inert gas can be achieved.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of liquefying a hydrogen feed stream and a liquefier for carrying out such a method in which ortho-species of hydrogen contained in a hydrogen feed stream is converted to the para-species in higher and lower temperature catalytic converters. An adsorption unit, located between the higher and lower temperature catalytic converters, adsorbs a portion of the ortho content of the feed stream. The adsorbed portion is desorbed during regeneration of an adsorbent bed of the adsorption unit and is recirculated back for treatment in the higher temperature catalytic converter to reduce the degree to which the ortho-species are converted to the para-species in the lower temperature catalytic converter and at lower temperatures.

    摘要: A method and system for the purification and recycle of impure argon is disclosed. The system and process of the present invention can produce very high purity argon, i.e., about 1 ppb or less of impurities. In one embodiment of the invention, a cryogenic separation apparatus is used to remove the nitrogen, hydrocarbon, and hydrogen impurities from the argon stream. A catalyst bed is then operated at ambient temperature to remove hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon monoxide impurities to provide the purified argon product. Also disclosed is a method to minimize to loss of the purified argon product during regeneration of the catalyst bed.
