PULSE TUBE REFRIGERATOR DEVELOPMENT-KEK in-house U-shape pulse tube refrigerator- -COP~3% -R&D is going on for better performance
2003.2.3 PSI Collaboration Meeting 1.PULSE TUBE REFRIGERATOR -Cooling power vs compressor input power-
PULSE TUBE REFRIGERATOR -6.5kW compressor- 2003.2.3 PSI Collaboration Meeting
PULSE TUBE REFRIGERATOR DEVELOPMENT-For final calorimeter- 1. Coaxial -Highly reliable by LP experience -Enough cooling power 2. U-shape -Not too much improvement -Still under R&D for large power -Fabricate two coaxial pulse tube refrigerator -One for main cryostat, one for spare or for storage dewar
2003.2.3 PSI Collaboration Meeting 2.PURIFICATION SCHEME -Present gas purification- -10L/min diaphragm pump -1.2L/h LXe →100hours for 120L circulation
2.PURIFICATION SCHEME -Liquid pump- Commercially available -Barber-Nichols Inc. centrifugal pump -100L/h, ~0.1Mpa -applied to 9000L Kr calorimeter at CERN (1000L/h, 0.2MPa) 2. Hand made pump in Japan under R&D -centrifugal pump -using immersible DC motor (contamination?) - 10-50L/h, ~0.1MPa 2003.2.3 PSI Collaboration Meeting
