Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of refrigeration and cryogenic engineering technology, and more particularly to a throttling heat exchanger for a dilution refrigerator and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Dilution refrigerators are currently a hot research topic in the mK temperature range for cryogenic refrigerators. They offer the advantages of continuous cooling at temperatures below 100 mK, lack of electromagnetic interference, and low vibration. They hold broad application prospects in key fields such as quantum information technology, establishing extreme experimental conditions, and deep space exploration. Dilution refrigerators use a helium-3 / helium-4 mixture as the working fluid. The entire dilution refrigeration cycle includes pulse tube precooling, throttling heat exchange precooling, throttling, condensation heat exchange, dilution, reflux heat exchange, evaporation, and compression. The throttling heat exchange precooling and throttling processes are critical stages in the dilution refrigeration cycle, cooling the temperature from approximately 4.2 K to approximately 0.7 K. They play a crucial role in stabilizing the entire dilution refrigeration cycle. The throttling heat exchange precooling process is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of the throttling process.
[0003] The dilution refrigerator industry focuses on integrating the key components of the throttling heat exchange pre-cooling process and the throttling process. Ideally, a throttling heat exchanger for a dilution refrigerator should achieve the following three functions:
[0004] 1) Realize an efficient and stable throttling heat exchange process in a limited space. The throttling heat exchange process is actually a process in which a low-pressure cold fluid (about 0.7K) and a high-pressure hot fluid (about 4.2K) are fully exchanged with each other in a countercurrent heat exchanger. Because there is a throttling effect in the heat exchange process, it is called a throttling heat exchange process. In the dilution refrigeration cycle, the good implementation of the throttling process requires that the temperature before throttling is lower than 1.8K. This requires the throttling heat exchanger to fully realize the heat exchange between the cold and hot fluids and fully recover the cold energy of the low-pressure cold fluid to ensure the stability of the throttling process. Since the cold fluid is under low-pressure conditions and considering the limited structural space of the entire system, appropriate swirl will help to improve the heat exchange between the cold and hot fluids in a limited space. This requires the introduction of spiral corrugations and spiral tube structures to achieve stability and efficiency in the throttling heat exchange process.
[0005] 2) Achieve a stable throttling process. The throttling process is the process by which the working fluid in the dilution refrigeration cycle transforms from a high-temperature liquid to a low-temperature mixed gas-liquid fluid. It is key to ensuring further reduction of the temperature throughout the cycle during the initial cooling period and ensuring stability in the 0.7-4K temperature range during the cycle. The throttling process requires micron-sized orifices and a temperature below 1.8K before throttling. Therefore, the size of the throttling plate and sufficient precooling are extremely critical.
[0006] 3) Smaller heat leakage loss. In the extremely low temperature region below 2K, the impact of heat leakage on the performance of the heat exchanger is very obvious, which requires that the heat leakage loss of the component itself be minimized.
[0007] In conventional dilution refrigerators, the throttling heat exchanger and the throttling plate are generally arranged separately, and the throttling heat exchanger usually uses a corrugated bellows. The characteristic of the corrugated bellows is that it has a certain vibration reduction effect, but the improvement of the heat exchange enhancement capacity of the heat exchanger is limited. This leads to the need to lengthen the length of the throttling heat exchanger to achieve heat exchange enhancement. However, due to space limitations, the length of the throttling heat exchanger is difficult to achieve the ideal state. As for the external throttling plate structure, not only does it require an additional long pipe to fix its position, but it cannot obtain sufficient pre-cooling, which to a certain extent affects the time it takes for the dilution refrigeration cycle to reach stability. In addition, the external small hole is easily affected by heat leakage, and sufficient pre-cooling is required to avoid these problems. Therefore, the separate placement of the conventional throttling heat exchanger and the throttling plate has great limitations in achieving the above three requirements. Summary of the Invention

The roughness of all surfaces of the throttle plate is required to be less than 0.04, and the outer diameter is controlled between 5-6 mm. S4: The throttle front seat (6) and the throttle rear seat (8) are made of high yield strength materials. The roughness of all contact surfaces with the small holes is required to be less than 0.04, and the roughness of the surface not in contact with the small holes is required to be less than 0.4; S5: The throttled spiral inner tube (9) is made of a material with high thermal conductivity. The total height of the spiral cylinder is controlled between 1 / 3 and 1 / 2 of the total length of the heat exchanger outer bellows (2). The inner diameter of the tube is controlled between 0.6 and 1.0 mm. The inner wall roughness is required to be less than 0.08 and the outer wall roughness is required to be less than 0.
2. S6: During the actual installation process, there is no direct connection between the outer bellows (2) of the heat exchanger and the inner tube combination of the pre-throttling spiral inner tube (5), the pre-throttling seat (6), the throttling plate (7), the post-throttling seat (8) and the post-throttling spiral inner tube (9). The outer bellows (2) of the heat exchanger is connected to the dilution refrigeration system through the low-pressure outlet connecting pipe (1) of the heat exchanger and the low-pressure inlet connecting pipe (3) of the heat exchanger, and the inner tube combination is connected to the dilution refrigeration system through the high-pressure inlet connecting pipe (4) and the high-pressure outlet connecting pipe (10), thereby forming a throttling heat exchanger for a dilution refrigerator.
