摘要:
A refrigerator incorporating a rotary valve (A) which comprises a rotary element (1) rotatable about an axis thereof and having a circular cross section perpendicular to the axis, and a housing (2) accommodating the rotary element in a rotatable manner, the rotary element having a plurality of ports (5-12) provided in an outer peripheral portion thereof, the housing having a plurality of ports (17-22) provided in a peripheral wall thereof in association with the ports of the rotary element, the rotary valve being operative to be switched between a position where predetermined ones of the ports of the rotary element are aligned with corresponding ones of the ports of the housing for communication therebetween and a position where the predetermined ones of the ports of the rotary element are displaced in non-alignment with the corresponding ones of the ports of the housing for non-communication therebetween by rotation of the rotary element. Since the valve incorporated in the Gifford-McMahon or pulse tube refrigerator has a smaller size and an extended service, the refrigerator is allowed to have a larger scale, a greater capacity and a higher efficiency.
摘要:
A gas-pressure driven type cryogenic refrigerator in which a cylinder (2) is partitioned into a lower pressure chamber (20), an upper pressure chamber and expansion chambers (30, 31) by a slack piston (17) and a displacer (22) connected thereto. A rotary valve (35) is adapted to set up alternately a high-pressure open-valve state that high-pressure helium gas is supplied into the upper pressure chamber (29) and the expansion chambers (30, 31) and a low-pressure open-valve state that helium gas is discharged from the upper pressure chamber (29) and the expansion chambers (30, 31), whereby the slack piston (17) is driven by virtue of the difference in gas pressure between the upper and lower chanbers (29, 20) to thereby reciprocate the displacer (22). The reciprocation produces cryogenic coldness. The time ratio of the low-pressure open-valve state is set at 55-65 %, higher than that of the high-pressure open-valve state, thereby improving the capability of the refrigerator.
摘要:
A coldhead drive unit (2) for a cryogenic refrigerator including a casing, valve means positioned within the casing for controlling the supply of a fluid to and from the coldhead and comprising a valve head (8), a valve plate (7) and a motor (10) having a drive shaft (11, 12) for rotating the valve head (8) against the valve plate (7), means (18) being provided for the supply of a fluid at a working pressure about a surface of the valve head (8) distal to the valve plate (7), wherein the drive shaft (12) engages the valve head (8) in a fluid light manner within a bore (9) formed in the distal surface of the valve head (8) and wherein a channel (19) is provided in the valve head to link the sealed interior (17) of the bore (9) and the interface between the valve head (8) and valve plate (7).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing refrigeration without loss of refrigeration or introduction of magnetic disturbance when using a displacer-expander type cryogenic refrigerator pneumatically actuated by a rotary valve coupled directly to a motor, the displacer-expander, rotary valve and motor being a single unit, by removing the motor from the unit and driving the valve by means of a flexible shaft. The flexible shaft can be disposed within a fluid conduit used to deliver high-pressure fluid to said refrigerator.
摘要:
The invention relates to a multistage low-temperature refrigeration machine with a first stage in the form of a displacer refrigerator (1) as well as at least one second stage in the form of a pulse tube refrigerator (25); in order to suppress vibrations it is proposed that a flexible component designed to prevent the spread of vibrations be placed between the displacer refrigerator (1) and the pulse tube refrigerator (25).
摘要:
A component for use in pulse tube cryorefrigerators which integrates the reservoirs (buffer volumes) (50,51,52,53) as well as the housing for the rotary valve (20) and valve plate (21) and drive motor (30) into a convenient, unified assembly. Other components required by the pulse-tube refrigerators, such as the heat sink (110), orifices (40), phase shifting valves, connecting tubing (105), etc., may also be integrated into the buffer volume/valve/motor housing (80) within the teachings of the invention.
摘要:
A pulse tube system for generating refrigeration for uses such as in magnetic resonance imaging systems or in high temperature superconductivity systems wherein an oil-free compressor (1) operating at a higher frequency generates pulsing gas which undergoes a frequency reduction and drives the pulse tube system at a more efficient lower frequency.
