Development and validation
of a new magnetocaloric high
performance hydrogen
liquefier prototype
HZDR/Tino Gottschall
HyLICAL in a nutshell
HyLICAL will contribute to reaching an energy demand of 8 kWh/kg and a liquefaction cost of <1.5 €/kg by validating an innovative and energy-efficient liquefier prototype for the cryogenic region (< 120 K) based on magnetic refrigeration.
