The adiabatic nuclear demagnetization cooling technique has reduced the lowest accessible temperature to the regime of microkelvin, and consequently led to a large expansion in microkelvin physics such as solid and liquid $^{3}He$, superconductivity of noble metals, spin glass transition, and nuclear magnetism. Our ability to reach temperature in microkelvin regime has greatly facilitated by the developments of dilution refrigerator and superconductivity magnet. It is appropriate to divide nuclear demagnetization cooling into two categories; those in which only the nuclear spin system is cooled down and those in which the lattice and conduction electrons in the refrigerant or the specimen are also cooled by the cooling power of nuclear spin system. The former cooling technique has utilized to investigate the nuclear magnetism at temperature in nanokelvin regime. The latter is widely used in studying the phenomena occurring in microkelvin regime. In this review paper, we will discuss the basic principles of nuclear demagnetization cooling and its applications.

냉동공조용 열교환기의 종류, 특징, 기술개발 동향, 전망 등에 대해 요약한 결과를 정리하면 다 음과 같다. (1) 암모니아 냉매가 다시 각광을 받음에 따라 응축기의 형식도 크게 변하고 있다. 이러한 변화로 핀 튜브를 사용한 횡형, 금속용착형 플레이트 식, 플레이트 핀 식의 응축기들이 암모니아 용으로 적용되기 시작하고 있다. (2) 암모니아 냉동장치는 현재에도 많이 적용되고 있으나 대부분 중앙 집중식 천정증발기나 강관 제 유닛 쿨러를 사용하고 있다. 그러나 최근 기술의 발전과 더불어 알루미늄 관 알루미늄 핀 증발기가 개발됨에 따라 암모니아 냉매도 프레온 냉매와 마찬가지로 건식, 분산식으로 적용되게 되었으며 이 분야의 기술개발이 요청된다. (3) 열교환기의 연구 방향은 에너지 절약, 공간 절약에 기여하면서도 성능향상을 이룩할 수 있는 기술개발, 그리고 소음이 적은 기기 제조 기술이 요망된다. 또한, 착상에 대한 기술적 대책, 근 본적 대책에 대한 대비가 요망되며, 기존 냉매에 대한 대체 냉매용 최적 열교환기에 대한 적극적 연구가 요망된다. (4) 제한된 에너지 자원, 지구환경, 열악한 우리나라의 에너지 사정 등을 고려할 때 냉동공조용 열교환기의 성능 향상에 대한 국가와 일반 소비자들의 기대는 더욱 증가하리라 예상된다. 이들 요구를 만족시키기 위해서는 냉동공조용 열교환기의 성능 향상, 열교환기의 제작에 필요한 자 원의 절약, 생산성 향상, 설치장소와 관련한 효율적인 공간활용, 열교환기 자체 소음의 최소화 등의 방면에 착실한 연구 개발이 있어야 할 것이다.

This paper describes an analysis on performance and exergy of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system with internal heat exchanger to optimize the design for the operating parameters of this system. The operating parameters considered in this study include subcooling and superheating degree, internal heat exchanger and compression efficiency, evaporation and condensation temperature in the R744 low- and R404A high- temperature cycle, respectively. The main results are summarized as follows : As the evaporation temperature of cascade heat exchanger increases, the COP of R404A high-temperature cycle increases. But the COP of R744 low-temperature cycle decreases, and the COP of total cascade cycle is almost constant. As cascade evaporation temperature increase, the exergy loss in the R404A condenser and the R744 internal heat exchanger is the largest and the lowest among all components, respectively. Therefore, the exergy loss in the condenser and compressor of R404A must be decreased to enhance the COP of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system.

Basic refrigeration effect and efficiency of a thermoacoustic refrigerator is studied. The refrigerator model for numerical simulation is composed of half wavelength resonator and appropriate stack of plate. Theoretical model for thermoacoustic refrigeration suggested by Swift et. al is adapted for numerical calculation. The model contains arbitrary viscosity effect of the gas filled in the resonator. The wave equation is integrated by using 4-th order Runge-Kutta algorithm to give pressure distribution along the stack of plate. Heat flux and COP are also calculated based on the energy flux equation. By analyzing the numerical simulation results, optimum values of design parameters for thermoacoustic refrigerator are obtained.

A 3 valve-type pulse tube refrigerator optains its cooling effect from pressure drop by releasing the part of the charged gas through hot end nozzle. The objective of this study is to analyze the performance and to find an optimal expansion pressure of the 3 valve-type pulse tube refrigerator. It is assumed that gas lumps are not mixed and periodically repeat the adiabatic compression and expansion processes. And the nodal model is applied for the analysis of the regenerator. As the result of analysis, the optimum pressure at the end of expansion process was about 80-90% of the maximum pressure.
