Through exergy analysis and simulation with Aspen HYSYS® 7.0, it has been demonstrated that four refrigeration stages is the best option for large helium liquefiers when all expanders operate between the entire available pressure differences. However, when some of the expanders are operated at intermediate pressure, a more number of stages gives a higher thermodynamic efficiency. Relationship between the number of stages, effective heat exchanger area and operating pressure levels of expanders, which could optimally be employed for least specific power consumption has been established through exergy analysis. Optimum number of stages, intermediate pressure and corresponding plant efficiency are, however to a large extent, dictated by the prevailing compressor efficiency. The intermediate pressure that gives the maximum exergy efficiency for the plant increases from 0.2 MPa with constant compressor efficiency to 0.35 MPa when considering two-staged compressor where pressure ratio influences compressor efficiency. Results presented may be useful in designing energy-efficient helium liquefiers of large capacity.
