ShareCLOSED CYCLE REFRIGERATOR FOR SUPERCONDUCTING MILLIMETER WAVE-MIXERS.
Author(s) : HILBERATH W., VOWINKEL B.
Type of article: Article
Summary
THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A CLOSED CYCLE REFRIGERATOR WITH AN OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF 2.8 K. HELIUM GAS AT A PRESSURE OF 1.2 MEGAPASCAL IS PRECOOLED TO 18 K BY A STIRLING REFRIGERATOR AND EXPANDED IN A JOULE-THOMSON STAGE TO ABOUT 10 KILOPASCALS. A VACUUM PUMP CIRCUIT AND COMPRESSOR BRING THE GAS BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL PRESSURE. THE REFRIGERATOR IS DESIGNED TO COOL THE FIRST STAGES OF A RADIO ASTRONOMICAL RECEIVER WITH A SUPERCONDUCTING MIXER. IT FITS INTO A SMALL RADIO TELESCOPE AND WORKS WIDELY INDEPENDENT OF ORIENTATION.
