Résumé

The lowest attainable refrigeration temperature of a nitrogen based Joule–Thomson refrigerator is generally limited to 77 K since the compressor suction pressure is usually higher than atmospheric pressure.The Joule–Thomson process with an ejector is proposed to achieve a refrigeration temperature as low as 68 K by adjusting the evaporation pressure down to 28 kPa and boosting the return stream pressure up to 147 kPa. A one-dimensional numerical model is developed to predict the performance of the ejector at cryogenic temperature, and its accuracy is compared with experimental data. The analysis results show that the addition of the ejector in the Joule–Thomson refrigeration cycle increases up to 5 times the overall efficiency, where the maximum achievable COP and exergy efficiency are 0.0195 and 6.65%, respectively. Other featured advantages of the proposed Joule–Thomson refrigeration cycle with ejector are the simplicity of cycle, minimization of mechanical moving components, cost effectiveness, and high reliability compared to other cryogenic refrigeration methods using pumps or cold compressors in Joule–Thomson cycles.
