Abstract
A cryocooler includes an attachment flange including a refrigerant gas introduction port through which refrigerant gas is introduced into a recondensing chamber from an ambient temperature environment, and attachable to the recondensing chamber, and a cooling stage that is disposed inside the recondensing chamber when the attachment flange is attached to the recondensing chamber. The refrigerant gas introduction port is perpendicularly or obliquely oriented with respect to an axial direction of the cryocooler so that a refrigerant gas flow exiting the refrigerant gas introduction port deviates from the cooling stage.
Claims12
A cryocooler comprising:
- an attachment flange including a refrigerant gas introduction port through which refrigerant gas is introduced into a recondensing chamber from an ambient temperature environment, and attachable to the recondensing chamber;
- and
- a cooling stage that is disposed inside the recondensing chamber when the attachment flange is attached to the recondensing chamber,
- wherein the refrigerant gas introduction port is perpendicularly or obliquely oriented with respect to an axial direction of the cryocooler and a center line of the refrigerant gas introduction port extends not to intersect the cooling stage such that a refrigerant gas flow exiting the refrigerant gas introduction port deviates from the cooling stage.
A cryocooler comprising:
- an attachment flange including a refrigerant gas introduction port through which refrigerant gas is introduced into a recondensing chamber from an ambient temperature environment, and attachable to the recondensing chamber;
- a cooling stage that is disposed inside the recondensing chamber when the attachment flange is attached to the recondensing chamber, and cooled to a cryogenic temperature which enables the refrigerant gas to be condensed;
- and
- a regenerator tube that connects the attachment flange to the cooling stage,
- wherein the refrigerant gas introduction port includes a plurality of holes formed on the attachment flange and around the regenerator tube, the plurality of holes arranged radially outward of an outer circumferential surface of the regenerator tube.
A cryogenic system comprising:
- a recondensing chamber that accommodates a cooling stage of a cryocooler;
- and
- a refrigerant gas introduction port installed in the recondensing chamber, and introducing refrigerant gas into the recondensing chamber from an ambient temperature environment,
- wherein the refrigerant gas introduction port is perpendicularly or obliquely oriented with respect to an axial direction of the cryocooler and a center line of the refrigerant gas introduction port extends not to intersect the cooling stage such that a refrigerant gas flow exiting the refrigerant gas introduction port deviates from the cooling stage.
