The neon liquefier by using GM cryocooler is designed and in process of manufacturing for the cooling of 100 hp high temperature superconductor (HTS) motor. It was used the principle of thermosyphon that the rotor of the motor is cooled by the latent heat of liquidized neon. The cold-box was designed to minimize heat loss by conduction, convection, radiation. Two heat exchanger were made to liquefy neon by the direct contact of neon gas on the cold head. As a first stage of our project, evaporation apparatus will be setup in the inner field of the cold-box and then the performance of neon liquefier will be test.

Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) has attracted a great deal of interest from the viewpoint of energy saving. The magnet of conduction-cooled high temperature superconducting (HTS) SMES is cooled down by a cryocooler. One of the most important problems to be assured the protection of magnet and cryocooler is breakdown at cryogenic temperature. In this study, we investigated insulation materials such as Kapton, Aluminum Nitride(AIN), Alumina($Al_2O_3$), glass fiber reinforced plastics(GFRP) and vacuum in cryogenic temperature. Also, we analyzed statistically the Weibull distribution of breakdown voltage.

Cooling with easy, reliable cryocooler is highly desirable for the commercial and military application The pulse tube refrigerator has no moving parts at the cold end, so that the mechanical vibration and magnetic noise can be reduced to the low level with higher relaibility and longer lifetime than the Stilting cryocooler. The inertance tube improve the performance of pulse tube refrigerator by providing optimal phase shift between pressure and amss flow rate, and it is easiest to implement at large cooling capacity and high operating frequency. In this study, the performance of the inertance pulse tube refrigerator was investigated by analysis. The results show the influence of the diameter and length of the inertance tube on the performance of the refrigerator.

A Protomodel Space Infrared Cryogenic System (PSICS) cooled by a stirling cryocooler was designed. The PSICS has an IR sensor inside a cold box which is cooled by a stilting cryocooler with refrigeration capacity of 500mw at 80K in a vacuum vessel. It is important to minimize heat load for reducing background thermal noise. In order to design the cryogenic system of low heat load and to reduce heat load, we did several numerical analyses and tested using boil-off calorimetry with liquid nitrogen to measure the heat leak of the system. In this paper, we present the results obtained by thermal analysis and heat load measurement for designing the PSICS.

The selection of the temperature sensor in the cryogenic system depends on the temperature range, shape and accuracy. The accuracy of the temperature sensor is essential to improve the reliability of experiment. We have developed the variable temperature cryostat using a two-stage cryocooler. In order to reduce heat load, thermal shield is installed at the first stage with MLI (Multiple layer insulation). We have also developed the sensor holder calibrating more than twenty sensors at the same time for saving time and money. The system can calibrate sensor at variable temperature by controlling electric heater. In this paper, we present design and fabrication of variable temperature cryostat and representative result of Cernox sensor calibration.

The conduction cooling HTS SMES magnet is operated in cryogenic temperature. The insulation design at cryogenic temperature is an important element that should be established to accomplish miniaturization that is a big advantage of HTS SMES. However, the behaviors of insulators for cryogenic conditions in air or vacuum are virtually unknown. Therefore, we need active research and development of insulation concerning application of the conduction cooling HTS SMES. Specially, this paper was studied about high vacuum and cryogenic temperature breakdown and flashover discharge characteristics between cryocooler and magnet-coil. The breakdown and surface flashover discharge characteristics were experimented at cryogenic temperature and vacuum. Also, we were experimented about mechanical properties of 4-point bending test. From the results, we confirmed that about research between cryocooler and magnet-coil established basic data in the insulation design.

The thermal characteristics of the helium circulation by a cryocooler are presented. This study is motivated mainly by our recent development of a closed-loop cooling system for Cyclotron K120 superconducting magnets without any replenishment of the cryogen. A channel is attached on the outer surface of the magnet form and the liquid helium passes through inside of the channel in order to cool the super conducting coils indirectly. A two-stage cryocooler as a heat sink is located at the top to recondense helium coming from the superconducting magnet form. The heat transfer in the natural circulation loop is discussed and the main dimensions of cooling system are determined.

An experimental study on the Joule-Thomson cryocooler with the mixed refrigerant (MR) is described in this paper, J-T refrigeration experiment was performed with a single stage regular air-conditioning compressor The mixed refrigerant in the experiment was composed of 75% mol fraction of $N_2$. 30% moi fraction of CH$_4$. 30% moi fraction of $C_2$H$_{6}$. 10% mot fraction of $C_3$H$_{8}$ and 15% mot fraction of iso-C$_4$H$_{10}$. Oil mist in the MR stream could be eliminated completely by the glass microfiber filter. Since a single stage compressor that had been designed thor R22 is not appropriate for high Pressure ratio of the mixed refrigerant especially during the transient period. two modifications were incorporated to regular J-T refrigeration cycle. First. a Portion of the MR was by-passed at the inlet of the heat exchanger and transferred directly to 7he suction of the compressor in the modified system. Second, a buffer volume was Prepared to change the mass flow rate of refrigerant. The pressure ratio in J-T expansion device was relieved at the beginning of the operation due to the by-Pass scheme. but it gradually decreased during the transient Process as some of the MR component condensed at low temperature. The buffer volume at the suction side was used to increase the MR gas density in the system after the transient cool-down period. Form the experiment with the modified system, the refrigerator could reach the lowest temperature of -152$^{\circ}C$ without cooling load. and about -15$0^{\circ}C$ with 5 W of cooling load . . . .
