[0027] In the refrigeration layer 3, the refrigeration plate 31 is a copper plate with black surface, mainly responsible for reducing the ethanol vapor temperature in the demonstration layer, forming ethanol supersaturated vapor near the surface of the refrigeration plate 31; the refrigeration layer cover 32 is a bearing carrier of the refrigeration and demonstration structure (including the refrigeration plate 31, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 33, the water cooler 34, the heat insulation pad 36, the LED lamp strip 21, the demonstration layer positioning support 22); the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 33 is a core element of the refrigeration function, responsible for cooling the refrigeration plate 31 through the cold end; the water cooler 34 is responsible for taking away the heat generated by the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 33 through water cooling; the refrigeration layer bottom shell 35 is the shell and bearing structure of the whole refrigeration layer 3; the heat insulation pad 36 is below the refrigeration plate 31, responsible for cold and heat insulation, improving the refrigeration effect of the demonstration layer; the water cooling fan 37 is responsible for dissipating the heat brought back by the water cooler 34 through blowing; the control circuit and touch screen 38 are used to control the functions of the utility model through software.

[0028] The cosmic ray science demonstration instrument adds an appropriate amount of anhydrous ethanol from the liquid filling port 12 before demonstration, and the ethanol is evaporated in the evaporating dish 15 through heating to form ethanol saturated vapor in the acrylic transparent shell demonstration layer 2.
