The invention relates to a process for liquefying hydrogen. To reduce the specific energy consumption, the following process steps are used: a) the precooling of the hydrogen stream by indirect heat exchange against a pressurized LNG stream to a temperature of between 140 and 130 K, b) the precooling of the hydrogen stream by indirect heat exchange against a coolant to a temperature of between 85 and 75 K, c) where the precooling of the coolant takes place against a pressurized LNG stream, and d) the cooling and at least partial liquefaction of the precooled hydrogen stream takes place by indirect heat exchange against another hydrogen stream channeled through a closed cooling circuit, e) where the precooling of the condensed hydrogen stream, which is channeled through a closed cooling circuit, takes place against a pressurized LNG stream. |
