    摘要: Simplified closed loop refrigeration system adapted for cryogenic temperatures comprising: a gaseous refrigerant circulating inside the closed loop refrigeration system, a compression section for compressing the refrigerant with at least two compressor stages, at least one of the compressor stages being one centrifugal compressor, at least a motor producing mechanical power to drive at least one of the compressor stages, at least an after cooler after each compression stage, a first heat exchanger for additionally cooling the compressed refrigerant, at least one expansion turbine for expanding the compressed refrigerant, a second heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the expanded refrigerant and an external fluid, a heating section where the expanded refrigerant is heated in counter-current flow inside the first heat-exchanger by the compressed refrigerant, wherein at least one centrifugal compressor being driven only by the expansion turbine and the centrifugal compressors and the expansion turbine use magnetic bearings.
