The CEC is one of the world’s leading conferences in the field of cryogenics and took place from May 18 to 22 in Reno, Nevada. It provided an ideal platform to discuss the latest developments and to connect with international experts from academia and industry. The APT’s contributions attracted significant interest and sparked in-depth technical discussions.
Christian Wolf presented his work titled “Validating a thermodynamic model for self-pressurization in liquid hydrogen tanks using novel tank trailer.” His presentation introduced a thermodynamic model for liquid hydrogen trailers used for the transport and distribution of liquid hydrogen. The model was validated using operational data from a newly developed trailer and provides valuable insights for the safe and efficient storage and transport of liquid hydrogen.
Laura Stops presented the talk “Process simulation and techno-economic assessment of hydrogen liquefaction plants with integrated ortho-para conversion.” The contribution focused on the simulation of various hydrogen liquefaction processes using UniSim, with particular emphasis on the integration of ortho-para hydrogen conversion. The simulation results were further analyzed and compared through a techno-economic assessment.
