Abstract

A refrigeration apparatus having an ejector operatively connected with a cold compressor to form a two-stage pumping system. This pumping system is used to lower the pressure, and thereby the temperature of a bath of boiling refrigerant (helium). The apparatus as thus arranged and operated has substantially improved operating efficiency when compared to other processes or arrangements for achieving a similar low pressure.

Combined cold compressor/ejector helium-refrigerator cycle

Conference Schlafke, A.P.; Brown, D.P.; Wu, K.C.

A series of tests is reported as part of the program to demonstrate the feasibility of cold compressors as related to a large refrigerator. The use of a cold compressor in series with an ejector has been shown as an effective way to produce low pressure in a helium refrigeration system. Compared with a system which uses an ejector alone, the combined cold compressor and ejector system produces a lower temperature on the same load or more cooling at the same temperature. (LEW)
Cold Vacuum Compressor for RHIC Helium Refrigerator

Technical Report Wu, K. C. [Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL), Upton, NY (United States)]

The RHIC 24.8 kilowatt refrigerator was originally designed for ISABELLE with the low pot, a liquid helium vessel in cold box5, to be operated at 0.1 atm pressure for 2.49 K. A four stage cold vacuum compressor was built to pump helium vapor from 0.095 to 1.4 atm. The RHIC cryogenic system is designed for 4.6 K operating temperature with 0.92 atm pressure in the low pot. This report presents the latest requirement for the cold vacuum compressor.

Design of subcooled helium II refrigerator with helium-3 cold compressor

Conference Kato, D.; Saji, N.; Ohya, H.; ...

This paper will study the possibility of a He II refrigerator made up of three cold compressors by making use of helium-3 characteristics. This system is compact enough to fit inside a small cold box, so it can be easily connected with an existing helium-4 refrigerator. The authors designed the compressors, calculated the He II cooling capacity, 4.4 K refrigeration load, required inventory of helium-3, and Carnot efficiency. Though helium-3 is expensive, the required inventory of helium-3 to be filled inside this He II refrigerator was calculated to be small enough to prove practicality of constructing this refrigerator.
