Principles and methods of dilution refrigeration. II

Principles and methods of dilution refrigeration. II This paper is an extension of, and complementary to, an earlier paper by Wheatley, Vilches, and Abel. Some important fundamental questions which lead to degradation in the performance of a dilution refrigerator are considered: namely, convection on the dilute side and superfluid on the concentrated side. Experimental results are presented for a film suppressing still used in conjunction with a continuous-heat exchanger (several designs are considered) and a variable number (0–6) of step-heat exchangers of a copper-foil type with a high surface-area-to-viscous-impedance ratio. The first quantitative measurements of viscous heating on the dilute side are presented as well as measurements of thermal resistance on the dilute and concentrated side. Finally, the properties of the refrigerator under external heat load are considered. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Low Temperature Physics Springer Journals

Abstract

This paper is an extension of, and complementary to, an earlier paper by Wheatley, Vilches, and Abel. Some important fundamental questions which lead to degradation in the performance of a dilution refrigerator are considered: namely, convection on the dilute side and superfluid on the concentrated side. Experimental results are presented for a film suppressing still used in conjunction with a continuous-heat exchanger (several designs are considered) and a variable number (0–6) of step-heat exchangers of a copper-foil type with a high surface-area-to-viscous-impedance ratio. The first quantitative measurements of viscous heating on the dilute side are presented as well as measurements of thermal resistance on the dilute and concentrated side. Finally, the properties of the refrigerator under external heat load are considered.
