LOW TEMPERATURE REGENERATORS.

Author(s) : WADE L. A.

Summary

A STUDY WAS CONDUCTED TO EXAMINE WAYS OF ENHANCING THE HEAT CAPACITY OF REGENERATORS USED IN REFRIGERATORS FOR ACHIEVING REFRIGERATION BELOW 30 K. BASED ON AN IDEALIZED REFRIGERATOR PERFORMANCE MODEL, IT IS PREDICTED THAT A STIRLING CYCLE REFRIGERATOR HAVING THE THIRD STAGE OF ITS REGENERATOR REPLACED WITH AN ULTRAFINE PARTICLE MATRIX WHOSE VOID VOLUME IS PARTIALLY FILLED WITH MERCURY, WILL DELIVER AT A COOLING TEMPERATURE OF 10 K, 2.75 TIMES AS MUCH REFRIGERATION AS ONE WITH A TYPICAL THIRD STAGE REGENERATOR MADE UP OF 0.005" DIA. LEAD SPHERES.
