Type of article: Article

Summary

THE GENERATION OF TEMPERATURES DOWN TO AROUND 4 K BY MEANS OF HELIUM EXPANSION PROCESSES IS DESCRIBED. TWO FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES, THE ISENTROPIC BRAYTON CYCLE AND THE ISENTHALPIC JOULE-THOMSON CYCLE, ARE PRESENTED. THE PRACTICAL COMBINATIONS DISCUSSED RANGE FROM THE SIMPLE CLAUDE CYCLE ON UP TO EUROPE'S MOST MODERN AND LARGEST HELIUM REFRIGERATING INSTALLATION, FOR THE SUPERCONDUCTING RING MAGNET OF HERA AT DESY (DEUTSCH ELEKTRONEN-SYNCHROTRON) IN HAMBURG.
