H2 Magnetocaloric Liquefaction using Polycrystalline Holmium – Proof of Concept

R&D Focus Areas:
Liquid hydrogen

Lead Organisation:
University of Western Australia

Funding:
Future Energy Exports CRC

Status:
Active

Start date:
2024

Project summary description:
This project aims to realise the Proof-of-Concept experiment (POC) for hydrogen liquefaction through a magnetocaloric cycle (refrigeration) based on polycrystalline holmium (Ho). The experimental facility will allow for the testing of different magnetocaloric materials at cryogenic conditions and enable exploration of the impact of various operating parameters on the cooling efficacy.
