Summary

MEASUREMENTS ARE PRESENTED OF TWO-PHASE COUNTERFLOW PHENOMENA IN A HELIUM 4-CIRCULATING DILUTION REFRIGERATOR. IN A MIXING CHAMBER OF THE OVERFLOW TYPE A LOWEST TEMPERATURE OF 120 MILLIK IS REACHED (AT A VERY LOW FLOW RATE) ; MOST OF THE DILUTED PHASE IS FLOWING ALONGTHE WALL OF THE COUNTERFLOW CAPILLARY. AFTER MOUNTING A SIMPLE FLOW BREAKER ON TOP OF THE COUNTERFLOW CAPILLARY A FLOW OF DROPLETS APPEARS AND A LOWEST TEMPERATURE OF 30 MILLIK IS REACHED (AT HIGH FLOW RATES). THE TEMPERATURES ARE CONSISTENT WITH ESTIMATIONS USING A DROPLET FLOW THEORY AND A MEASURED HEAT LEAK OF 4 MICROW.
