摘要:
A pulse tube refrigeration system (21) wherein the pulse tube working gas is cooled to a defined first stage temperature and is brought to a defined second stage temperature by operation of a regenerator (33) and pulse tube (34), which are in flow communication through a cold heat exchanger (23), prior to providing refrigeration to a high temperature superconductor (10).
摘要:
A low void pressure swing adsorption system wherein flow movement and pressure pulse are influenced from the same source comprised of at least one hermetically sealed vessel containing an adsorbent bed with an inlet coupled to the adsorbent bed by way of an inlet header and an outlet coupled to the adsorbent bed by way of an outlet header. Void volume of the inlet and outlet headers can be limited to less than 20% of the adsorbent bed volume, preferably to less than 10%, and most preferably to less than 5%, by mounting high pressure source(s) and/or low pressure sink(s) proximate to, or nearly proximate to, the adsorbent bed/vessel. Low void volumes and reduced cycle times may be achieved in all bed configurations, including flat header beds, segmented beds, and vertical beds. Radial beds may be configured so that the void volume of the inlet and outlet headers is less than 50% of the volume of the radial adsorbent bed, preferably to less than 20%, and most preferably to less than 10%.
摘要:
A system for generating refrigeration and providing refrigeration to a heat load at a very cold temperature which includes a forecooling circuit using a multicomponent refrigerant fluid and a magnetic refrigeration circuit which provides refrigeration to the heat load and which rejects heat into the forecooling circuit.
摘要:
A method for liquefying an industrial gas wherein a portion of the requisite refrigeration is generated by a multicomponent refrigerant circuit and a portion is generated by turboexpansion of either a portion of the industrial gas or a portion of the multicomponent refrigerant.
摘要:
A method and system for separating one or more components from gas mixtures uses a moving bed of adsorption material particles under continuous and substantially isobaric pressure conditions. Contaminated gases are likewise purified by removing one or more contaminants therefrom using such a moving bed of adsorption material particles under continuous and substantially isobaric pressure conditions.
摘要:
A system for providing industrial gas to a use point in relatively small quantities that would otherwise require the use of high pressure gas cylinders, wherein industrial gas (4) is generated (30) from a feed (1), liquefied using refrigeration generated by a refrigeration system (34), and stored in a storage vessel (33) prior to provision to the use point (7). The preferred refrigeration system is a pulse tube system powered by gas associated with the industrial gas generation system.
摘要:
A method for refrigerating a high temperature superconducting device (70) to maintain superconducting operating conditions wherein a first heat transfer means such as a first heat transfer fluid (41,150) is cooled to a temperature greater than the temperature of saturated liquid nitrogen and is used for ambient heat intercept while a second heat transfer means such as a second heat transfer fluid (47,147) is cooled to a temperature within the high temperature superconductivity temperature operating range to maintain superconducting operating conditions.

摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system wherein some or all of the refrigeration necessary to drive the rectification is generated by providing a pulse to a gas and then passing the compressed gas to a pulse tube wherein the gas expands in a wave generating refrigeration at one end of the pulse tube for transfer into the rectification system.
