본 연구에서는 초전도 양자 간섭장치(SQUID, superconductiong quantum inte- rference device)를 냉각시킬 수 있는 정도의 소용량(3.995K에서 0.1W)의 GM/J-T 냉동 기에 대하여 요구되는 냉각용량을 만족시키면서 최대의 성능을 나타낼 수 있는 열교환 기의 면적배분 조건을 구하였다. 즉 냉동 성능을 알고 있는 상용 2단 GM 냉동기와 소형 극저온 냉동기에 널리 사용되는 열교환기로 이루어진 복합적인 GM/J-T 냉동기에 대하여 열교환기 총면적이 주어졌을 때, J-T 회로내의 냉매(헬륨)의 유량과 각 열교환 기 전열 면적의 비를 변수로 최적설계를 행하였다.

초전도 마그네트 시스템의 냉각방법 중, 액체 헬륨등의 극저온 유체를 이용한 액체냉각방식이 극저온 냉동기를 이용한 직접 전도냉각 방식에 비해 신뢰도가 높은 열적 안정성으로 인하여 현재도 많은 초전도 마그네트 시스템이 액체냉각방식을 이용하고 있다. 그러나, 고가의 극저온 액체의 재충전으로 인하여 경제성이 낮고 취급이 불편한 단점이 있다 이러한 액체냉각방식의 단점을 보완하고자 극저온 유체를 시스템 안에서 직접 응축하여 재충전을 하지 않는 재응축형 시스템을 개발하여 실험하였다. 실험에 사용한 초전도 마그네트 시스템은 상온보아 1270 mm. 최대자장 0.3 T로 설계되었고, 금속 전류도입선과 HTS 전류도입선을 복합적으로 사용하였으며, 복사차폐막 냉각용 극저온 냉동기와 헬륨 재응축용 극저온 냉동기를 사용하였다. 초전도 마그네트는 200 A에서 1600 gauss의 자장으로 운전하였고 극저온 용기에서는 0.05 bar의 압력으로 액체 헬륨이 증발하지 않고 유지되었다.

Most J-T (Joule-Thomson) refrigerators use a Giaque-Hampson type heat exchanger due to its excellent thermal performance and compactness. The cryoprobe (cryosurgical probe) treating prostate cancer usually has a dimension of 17 gauge (1.6 mm diameter), so it does not have enough space to bear a Giaque-Hampson type heat exchanger. In this paper, the triplet heat exchanger is adopted as the heat exchanger of cryoprobe, and the performance is investigated with an experimental test. The result shows that the triplet heat exchanger can be substituted for Giaque-Hampson type heat exchanger in the application of cryosurgery.

The cryoprobe used in cryosurgery should be fabricated in milimeter-order size for its practical usage. In general a miniature J-T(Joule-Thomson) refrigerator is applied to a cryoprobe. In case of the miniature J-T refrigerator, the mass flow rate of working fluid is small due to considerable friction in a minute flow path. For that reason, the miniature J-T refrigerator has a limited cooling power. To obtain the large cooling power from the J-T refrigerator, the refrigerator should have large mass flow rate and effective J-T temperature drop. These quantities are closely related to the geometry of the heat exchanger and the expansion nozzle in a cryoprobe, and are contradictory. The large mass flow rate leads to the small J-T temperature drop and vice versa in the miniature J-T refrigerator. Therefore, the optimal design of a cryoprobe to achieve maximum cooling power at fixed tube size and fixed operating temperature is required. This paper presents the design procedure of such case.

The conceptual determination of mixed-refrigerant (MR) for a closed Joule-Thomson cryocooler is described in this paper. The thermodynamic cycle design was mainly considered to develop a cryocooler by using a compressor of domestic air-conditioning unit. The target cooling performance of the designed cryocooler is 10 W around 70 K with less than 5 kJ/kg enthalpy rise. The systematic approach of choosing a proper refrigerant among 20 different kinds of mixture for such cryogenic temperature was introduced in detail. The main components of the cryocooler are compressor, evaporator, oil separator, after-cooler, counterflow heat exchanger, and J-T expansion device. Due to the limitation of the compressor operation range, the temperature after the compression was limited below $117^{\circ}C$ (390 K) and the temperature before compression was restricted above $5^{\circ}C$ (278 K). 20 atm of discharging pressure (high pressure) and less than 3 atm suction pressure (low pressure) were the design conditions. The inlet temperature of a counterflow heat exchanger in the high Pressure side was about 300 K. The proper composition of the mixed refrigerant for the designed J-T cryocooler is 15% mol of$ N_2, 30% mol of $CH_4,\; 30% mol\; of C^2H^ 6,\; 10%\; mol\; of\; C_3H_8\; and \;15%\; mol\; of\; i-C_4H_10$.

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 . . . .

Experiments on the performance of refrigeration system using alternatives to R12 are carried out. The condenser and the evaporator are concentric-tube heat exchangers of counter-flow type and the compressor is driven by a variable speed motor. In this study, R134a, R152a, R22/142b(50 : 50 by mass) are adopted as alternatives to R12. Tests are performed by varying the inlet and outlet temperatures of secondary fluids of evaporator and condenser under the condition of constant compressor speed, degree of superheating and degree of subcooling. Results show that R134a has refrigeration capacity close to that of R12 and requires the greatest compressor power compared with that of others. And the system using R152a shows the best performance from the viewpoint of refrigeration capacity, compressor power and coefficient of performance. R22/142b is superior to R12 in the above points.

KSTAR 장치의 저온 component에 헬륨을 공급하기 위한 헬륨라인은 크게 두 가지로 이루어져 있다. 냉동기에서 KSTAR 저온용기 외부까지의 트랜스퍼 라인과, 저온용기 내부의 헬륨라인이다. KSTAR 장치는 3가지 종류의 헬륨을 사용하여 각 저온 component를 냉각하는데, 초전도 자석 시스템과 버스라인에는 초임계 헬륨, 전류인입장치에는 액체 헬륨, 열차폐체에는 가스 헬륨을 공급한다. 저온용기 내부의 헬륨라인은 냉동기에서 저온용기 근처까지 연결된 배관을 저온용기 내부의 각 장치에 최단거리로 열손실 없이 설치하여 각 장치가 정상 작동하도록 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 저온용기 내부의 헬륨라인은 최대 20bar로 가압되는 운전시간 동안에 헬륨누설 없이 설치되어야 한다. 그리고 상온으로 부터의 복사열을 차단하기 위하여 다층절연제로 배관을 감싸주어야 하고 고전압 부분은 프리프레그 테잎으로 절연되어야 한다. 전기절연체는 세라믹과 스테인레스 스틸 튜브를 브레이징 접합 방법으로 연결하여 만들어진 것으론 배관과 배관, 배관과 저온 component간의 절연을 위해 사용되고, 헬륨라인과 동일하게 4.5K 초임계 헬륨온도에서 누설이 없어야 한다. 따라서 모든 전기절연체는 액체질소에 침전시켜 열충격을 가하고, 내부에 30 bar를 가압하여 진공 누설시험을 한다. 그리고 초전도 자석과 배관의 절연체로 사용되므로 15kV 고전압 절연 검사를 한다. 전기절연체의 세라믹 부분은 구조적 보강을 위하여 추가적으로 표면에 절연 작업을 한다. 현재 대부분의 저온용기 내부의 헬륨 라인은 설치 완료되어 있으며, 최종 검사가 진행 중이다.

Thermodynamic properties of alternatives for R12 and R22 were estimated and performances of refrigerating cycle using these refrigerants were compared. In this study, we adopt R134a, R22/R142b, R22/R152a, R22/R152a/R124 as alternatives for R12 and R32/R134a for R22. Thermodynamic properties of these refrigerants were estimated using modified CSD equation of state. Cycle simulations of the refrigerating system considering heat source were carried out in order to compare the performance of the system. R134a shows relatively lower COP than R12 but very similar VCR. R22/R142b(50/50 mass fraction), R22/R152a(10/90), R22/R152a/R124(30/25/45) are good for the substitutes of R12 and R32/R134a(30/70) is appropriate for that of R22 in view of COP and VCR.
