Abstract

As a clean energy source

is poised to play a pivotal role in future energy supplies. Currently

international hydrogen liquefaction facilities suffer from high energy consumption

high liquefaction costs

and low exergy efficiencies. In contrast

the development of cryogenic hydrogen liquefaction technologies and equipment in China is still in its infancy

significantly lagging behind advanced global standards. Against this backdrop

this paper summarizes the recent research advancements in hydrogen liquefaction technology

encompassing both process design and practical facilities. It delves into the latest developments in steady-state process simulation and dynamic characteristic studies

evaluating performance metrics across various liquefaction processes. Additionally

this paper provides an overview of the technical features and equipment layouts of large-scale hydrogen liquefaction plants and small-scale laboratory setups. Finally

it consolidates the key development priorities and future directions for hydrogen liquefaction technology

aiming to provide valuable guidance for technological progress and accelerate the widespread adoption of hydrogen energy.
