Abstract

See full text

A system for cooling a feed stream including hydrogen or helium with a mixed refrigerant includes a pre-cooling heat exchanger. A compression system has an inlet in fluid communication with the pre-cooling heat exchanger and receives and increases a pressure of a refrigerant vapor stream including hydrogen and/or helium mixed with at least one other refrigerant such that the molecular weight of the mixture is greater than 6 kg/kgmol. The compression system has an outlet in fluid communication with the pre-cooling heat exchanger. A first refrigerant separation device receives fluid from the pre-cooling heat exchanger and has a liquid outlet in fluid communication with the pre-cooling heat exchanger and a vapor outlet. A refrigerant purifier has a purifier inlet in fluid communication with the vapor outlet of the first refrigerant separation device and an outlet in fluid communication with the pre-cooling heat exchanger.
