Advancing the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of cryogenic hydrogen systems
Jacob Leachman • School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering HYPER
HYPER lab: Advancing H2-TRLs
• Only cryo-H2 university lab in US
• Risk, expense, and development timeline are challenging.
• Goal is to progress hydrogen technology from TRL 1-6 as efficiently as possible.
• Necessitates a lean-production philosophy with a continuous design-build-test progression.

Significance of ortho-para manipulation
6
“Because of the entropy difference between ortho- and parahydrogen, it is tempting to think of some external force which could change the equilibrium concentration at some
temperature. Practical levels of electric field gradients or magnetic fields would have only a minor effect on the equilibrium concentration, though further studies may be useful.” ~ Ray
Radebaugh 1982
“Partial ortho-para conversion.. Offers the greatest opportunity for reduced liquefaction power consumption.” ~C. Baker 1979

• 80-90% of non-pipeline H2 delivered via liquid tanker truck.1
• LH2 will propel the early H2 economy.2
• Only 8 LH2 plants in North America-Only 1 is carbon free (Niagara)
-Smallest is 30 tonne/day (>50 MW)
-Can only ramp 30%/day
• Production cost: $5-5.60/kgLH2
• Delivery cost: $4-12/kgLH2
Efficient, small (<1 MW), modular H2 liquefiers will increase
renewable value and enable H2 economy.

Applications: Kinetic para-ortho manipulation via vortex tube
• Vortex tubes separate faster (higher T) from slower due to flow geometry
• Enables para-ortho conversion to drive bulk cooling

E.Hot, ortho-rich H2
recycled
B.As hydrogen flows along tube, faster molecules migrate
to outside
C. Catalyst along tube wall causes endothermic conversion of hot
parahydrogen to orthohydrogen
F.Cold H2 outlet
To 2nd vortex tube or J-T valve
D.Insulation on tube wall
forces endothermic reaction to cause bulk cooling
