Abstract
The present studies concern on energy and exergy analyses of various cryogenics system up to their sub component level. A
parametric study is conducted to investigate the effects of variation of various system input parameters such as pressure ratio,
expander mass flow ratio, compressor output temperature on different performance parameters like COP , work input ,liquefaction
rate ,specific heat and exergy. The numerical computations have been carried out for six system are study with six different gases
for liquefaction like oxygen, argon, methane, fluorine, air and nitrogen respectively. Effect of different input gas also studies carefully
and behavior of different gases in different system is concluded. © 2017 ijrei.com. All rights reserved

1. Introduction
Cryogenics has been an important area of refrigeration because
of its application in industrial and commercial utilization, and
many scientific and engineering researches are going on by
using low temperature liquefied gases. Cryogenics isa branch
of physics which deals with the achieving very low
temperatures (below the 173 K.) and study their effects on
matter .Cryogenic study presents broad goals for cryogenic
support for various gas liquefaction systems. Due to industrial
revolution, various issues like cost, efficiency and reliability
are the challenges factors in employment of cryogenic support
technology. In field of mechanical engineering we try to refine
or improve the ability or quality of material to get in maximum
use at maximum level at a reduce cost. In past many
fantasticclaimhave been made as to the degree of improve
performance achieved by employing cryogenics technology
In 1949 Helandt Davies in his research noticed that if the
Claude system work on relative high pressure,e.g., approx. 200
bar for air liquefaction. The first heat exchanger in the system
can eliminate; such modified system is extensively used in
high-pressure liquefaction plant of air and known as high
pressure modifiedClaude system or Haylent system. The
problem of lubrication in expander is successfully eliminated
in this modification. Use of light lubricant are quite suitable
because, in the air-liquefaction system, the gas enters the
expander at ambient temperature and leaves the expander at
approximately 150 K (-190°F), so that light lubricants
properties not much detroit. In high pressure Haylent system
expander adjustment is also very crucial. All sub-component
like compressor, expander, two heat exchangers with throttle
valve and separator are arranged as shown in Figure .1.The
block diagram completely define the working of system. The
gas which has to be liquefied is fed in compressor at ambient
condition like at 1.013 bar and 300 K .The gas is compressed
up to their optimized pressure ratio selected on the basis of
chosen gas. This compressed gas is further divided in two parts
in perfect ratio for expander. One part of gas goes into
expander while other part fed into the heat exchanger as a hot
stream. Expander gives additional refrigeration effect in the
system by giving additional cooling effect to the cold stream
of gas into exchanger. After passing through the heat
exchanger gas reached up to their critical temperature.
