Abstract:After the success of liquefying hydrogen by Sir James Dewar in the late 19th century, several liquefaction technologies have been developed. Conventional liquefaction systems involve Joule?Thomson and turbine expansion systems. However, those systems are energy intensive. Magnetic refrigeration systems have been recently employed as a potential alternative for conventional liquefaction systems. This study targets examining different magnetocaloric materials for the potential application for hydrogen liquefaction.
