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)
Refrigerant pressurization system with a two-phase condensing ejector

Patent Bergander, Mark [Madison, CT]

A refrigerant pressurization system including an ejector having a first conduit for flowing a liquid refrigerant therethrough and a nozzle for accelerating a vapor refrigerant therethrough. The first conduit is positioned such that the liquid refrigerant is discharged from the first conduit into the nozzle. The ejector includes a mixing chamber for condensing the vapor refrigerant. The mixing chamber comprises at least a portion of the nozzle and transitions into a second conduit having a substantially constant cross sectional area. The condensation of the vapor refrigerant in the mixing chamber causes the refrigerant mixture in at least a portion ofmore »« less

Variable gas spring for matching power output from FPSE to load of refrigerant compressor

Patent Chen, Gong [Athens, OH]; Beale, William T [Athens, OH]

The power output of a free piston Stirling engine is matched to a gas compressor which it drives and its stroke amplitude is made relatively constant as a function of power by connecting a gas spring to the drive linkage from the engine to the compressor. The gas spring is connected to the compressor through a passageway in which a valve is interposed. The valve is linked to the drive linkage so it is opened when the stroke amplitude exceeds a selected limit. This allows compressed gas to enter the spring, increase its spring constant, thus opposing stroke increase andmore »« less
