Development of a Low Noise 10K Refrigeration System.

Abstract

The purpose of this contract is the development of a Low Noise, Closed Cycle, Joule Thomson refrigeration system for 10K operation. This report summarizes work completed to date on the detailed thermodynamic analysis and physical design of the refrigerator. A complete enthalpy balance for the three stage device is presented. Fabrication of the first two refrigeration stages (argon and hydrogen) has begun. A prototype compressor for single gas operation has been designed and tested successfully.
