Joule-Thomson heat exchanger and cryostat
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6590798
This patent describes a refrigerator of the type wherein a fluid is passed through the high pressure tube of a heat exchanger and then expanded through a Joule-Thomson orifice to produce refrigeration proximate the Joule-Thomson orifice. The improvement described here comprises: fibrous material disposed in the Joule-Thomson orifice which is deformed to fix the fibrous material in place, whereby the fibrous material and deformed orifice result in an orifice with large flow impedance.
