Abstract
A disclosed cryogenic refrigerator includes a first refrigerator including a compressor, a regenerator which performs intake or ejection of a refrigerant gas relative to the compressor, and a pulse tube whose low temperature end is connected to a low temperature end of the regenerator; a second refrigerator having an output smaller than the first refrigerator; a connecting pipe which performs intake and ejection of the refrigerant gas relative to a high temperature end of the pulse tube and the second refrigerator; and a flow control valve which is provided in the connecting pipe and performs a flow control of the refrigerant gas flowing inside the connecting pipe.
Claims5
A cryogenic refrigerator comprising:
- a first refrigerator including
- a compressor,
- a first regenerator which performs intake or ejection of a refrigerant gas relative to the compressor, and
- a first pulse tube whose low temperature end is connected to a low temperature end of the first regenerator,
- a second refrigerator including
- a second regenerator, the second refrigerator having an output smaller than an output from the first refrigerator,
- a connecting pipe connected between a high temperature end of the first pulse tube and a high temperature end of the second regenerator, the connecting pipe performing intake and ejection of the refrigerant gas between the high temperature end of the first pulse tube and the high temperature end of the second regenerator, the refrigerant gas being supplied from the compressor to the second regenerator and sucked by the compressor from the second regenerator only through the connecting pipe;
- and
- a flow control valve which is provided in the connecting pipe and performs a flow control of the refrigerant gas flowing inside the connecting pipe.
