Title: Active magnetic regenerative liquefier using process gas pre-cooling from bypass flow of heat transfer fluid

Abstract

A process for liquefying a process gas that includes: introducing a heat transfer fluid into an active magnetic regenerative refrigerator apparatus that includes a low magnetic or demagnetized field section; continuously diverting a bypass portion of the heat transfer fluid from a cold side of the low magnetic or demagnetized field section into a bypass flow heat exchanger at a first cold inlet temperature; and continuously introducing the process gas into the bypass flow heat exchanger at a first hot inlet temperature and discharging the process gas or liquid from the bypass flow heat exchanger at a first cold exit temperature; wherein the temperature difference between bypass heat transfer first cold inlet temperature and the process gas first cold exit temperature is 1 to 5 K.

Active bypass flow control for a seal in a gas turbine engine

Patent Ebert, Todd A.; Kimmel, Keith D.

An active bypass flow control system for controlling bypass compressed air based upon leakage flow of compressed air flowing past an outer balance seal between a stator and rotor of a first stage of a gas turbine in a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The active bypass flow control system is an adjustable system in which one or more metering devices may be used to control the flow of bypass compressed air as the flow of compressed air past the outer balance seal changes over time as the outer balance seal between the rim cavity and the cooling cavity wears.more »« less

Investigation of bypass fluid flow in an active magnetic regenerative liquefier

Journal Article Holladay, Jamelyn [Pacific Northwest National Lab. (PNNL), Richland, WA (United States)]; Teyber, Reed [Pacific Northwest National Lab.

(PNNL), Richland, WA (United States)]; ... - Cryogenics

Active magnetic regenerators (AMR) with second order magnetocaloric materials operating below the Curie temperature have a unique property where the magnetized specific heat is lower than the demagnetized specific heat. The associated thermal mass imbalance allows a fraction of heat transfer fluid in the cold heat exchanger to bypass the magnetized regenerator. This cold bypassed fluid can precool a process stream as it returns to the hot side, thereby increasing the efficiency of liquefaction and reducing the cost of liquid cryogens. In the present work, the net cooling power of an active magnetic regenerative liquefier is investigated as a functionmore »« less
