This paper focuses on the efficient and comprehensive development of associated helium resources in natural gas. An integrated experimental device for combined helium gas and liquid production was developed, and its performance was tested. The helium extraction system employs cryogenic purification and high-efficiency deneonization technology, achieving a product helium purity of 99.999%. The helium liquefaction system innovatively adopts a two-stage turbine expansion refrigeration cycle combining full dynamic and dynamic-static pressure processes. The measured isentropic efficiency of the turbine reached 65%, and the system’s coefficient of performance (COP) was no less than 0.002. Test results demonstrate that the unit operates stably and meets all design specifications, enabling continuous co-production of high-purity liquid helium from raw feed gas. This provides an effective engineering solution for technological advancement and high-value utilization of helium resources in the natural gas helium extraction industry.
