LIQUID HELIUM REFRIGERATOR CONTROL.

Author(s) : DEAN J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE APPLICATION OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY REQUIRES THE USE OF A LIQUID HELIUM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM TO CONTINUALLY MAINTAIN A DEVICE AT A TEMPERATURE NEAR 4 K AND ABLE TO OPERATE WITHOUT CONSTANT ATTENTION TO BE PRACTICAL. THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM AND THE CONTROLS NECESSARY FOR UNATTENDED OPERATION ARE DISCUSSED. A STABLE CONTROL SCHEME WHERE AN INCREASE IN HEAT LOAD RAISES THE COMPRESSOR SUCTION PRESSURE, INCREASING THE COMPRESSOR FLOW RATE AND THUS INCREASING THE REFRIGERATION CAPACITY, IS DISCUSSED.
