A novel large-scale plant for hydrogen liquefying is proposed and analyzed. The liquid hydrogen production rate of the proposed plant is 100 tons per day to provide the required LH2 for a large urban area with 100,000-200,000 hydrogen vehicles supply. In the pre-cooling section of the process, a new mixed refrigerant (MR) refrigeration cycle, combined with a Joule-Brayton refrigeration cycle, precool gaseous hydrogen feed from 25 C to the temperature -198.2 C. A new refrigeration system with six simple Linde-Hampson cascade cycles cools low-temperature gaseous hydrogen from -198.2 C to temperature -252.2 C. The process specific energy consumption (SEC) is 7.69 kWh/kg(LH2) which minimum value is 2.89 kWh/kg(LH2) source in ideal conditions. The exergy efficiency of the system is 39.5%, which is considerably higher than the existing hydrogen liquefier plants around the world. However, assuming more efficiency values for the equipment can improve it. The energy analysis specifies that coefficient of performance (COP) of the process is 0.1710 which is a high quantity of its kind between other similar processes. Effect of various refrigerant components concentration, discharge pressure of the high pressure compressors of the pre-cooling section, and hydrogen feed pressure on the process COP, exergy efficiency, and SEC are investigated. After that, a new MR will be offered for the cryogenic section of the plant. The system improvements are considerable comparing to current hydrogen liquefying plants, therefore, the proposed conceptual system can be used for future hydrogen liquefaction plants design.
