    Cryogenic Refrigeration

    Maha Hosain
    Background Info

    • Cryogenics – science of production and effects of


    very low temperatures
    • Limit to lowest temp—absolute zero (0K)
    • Cryogenic region  below 120K (-153ºC)
    • Cryogenic Liquids  super-freezing permanent
    gases to liquid states, ex: oxygen, nitrogen,
    hydrogen, and helium
    – Liquid Nitrogen: most easily available
    – Liquid Helium: lowest temp. <2.17K
    Cryocoolers
    Types:
    •Joule-
    Thomson
    • Brayton
    • Stirling
    • Pulse Tube
    • Gifford-
    McMahon
    Applications-MRI

    • Metals and plastics-stronger, durable, elec. resis.


    dec. (become close to superconductors)
    • Metal wire coiled to produce mag. field w/ no heat
    or consumption of elec. power, and remains cold
    Applications
    Common Extensible Cryogenic Engine

    Engine comps super-cooled to similar low temps w/ liquid O2 and H2


    mixture.
    As CECE burns its frigid fuels, gas composed of hot steam is produced
    and propelled out the nozzle creating thrust.
    The steam is cooled by the cold engine nozzle, condensing and eventually
    freezing at the nozzle exit to form icicles.
    Hydrogen light =>take larger spacecrafts to moon
    Cryonics
    • Freezing body
    • Not acceptable app.
    of cryogenics
    Cryosurgery
    • freezing of portions
    of the body
    • destroy unwanted or
    malfunctioning tissue
