Description

A kind of radiation precooling type pulse tube cooling system
Technical field
The invention belongs to pulse tube cooling system, design a kind of radiation precooling type pulse tube cooling system that is suitable for SPACE APPLICATION especially.
Background technology
Along with the development of space technology, the research small-sized, the micro low-temperature refrigeration machine that is used for Infrared Detectors and high-temperature superconductive device has caused the very big interest of various countries.The payload of some satellites; The focal plane of particularly high-precision remote sensing equipment such as infrared telescope, infrared senstive device and the low noise amplifier of eyeglass and radio receiver etc. all need very low ambient temperature; Thermal noise to reduce background disturbs, and improves detection accuracy.Required chilling temperature is had nothing in common with each other, from 200K-2K.The Refrigeration Technique that can satisfy this demand has a variety of, can be divided into radiation type cooling, thermoelectric cooling, storage type refrigeration and mechanical type refrigeration (Hou Zengqi, spacecraft thermal control technology, China Science Tech Publishing House) generally.
Radiation type cooling can reach 60K under perfect condition, can tentatively satisfy the demand of early stage infrared acquisition.But because radianting capacity follows the biquadratic of temperature to be directly proportional; Reduce rapidly in the following radianting capacity of 100K; And whole system feasibility and temperature property depend on that the orientation of track, attitude and radiator of aircraft is closely bound up, thereby use and receive very big restriction.
Thermoelectric cooling is mainly used in the above warm area of 150K, and refrigerating capacity is less, and in the bigger occasion of refrigerating capacity, increase heat pipe equipment usually and get rid of used heat, owing to do not have moving component, but therefore long-time running.
The storage type refrigeration system can be provided in refrigeration in the very wide warm area, from 1.5K (superfluid helium) to 150K (solid ammonia).But this refrigeration modes needs constantly to consume working medium, depends on running time to carry what of working medium.Therefore requiring under the situation that refrigerating capacity is big or cryogenic temperature is lower, SPACE APPLICATION is more options mechanical type refrigeration more.
The space mainly comprises VM refrigeration machine, J-T refrigeration machine, contrary Bretton refrigeration machine, sterlin refrigerator and pulse tube refrigerating machine with the mechanical type refrigeration machine.The VM refrigeration machine proposed early than 1918, because this refrigeration machine rotating speed is low, bearing load is little, and it is little wear and tear, thus the life-span long, operate steadily, but this refrigeration machine making is strict, heat source temperature is had relatively high expectations (1000K), power and temperature are controlled all more complicated.The J-T refrigeration machine utilizes throttle effect to obtain low temperature, and cooling rate is fast, carries dexterity, but needs high pressure ratio, and efficient is lower.Before application of pulse tube technology obtained to break through, sterlin refrigerator had the SPACE APPLICATION potentiality most; Early stage sterlin refrigerator is owing to use the crank connecting link compressor, and the life-span is shorter, therefore makes slow progress; Along with the appearance of Oxford formula compressor, the Stirling compressor has been obtained major progress at aspects such as efficient, reliability, lightness, life-spans, in space and military affairs, obtains extensive use; Major part all adopts the stirling refrigeration technology on the explorer satellite that NASA and European Space Agency launch from late nineteen eighties so far; And along with space technology requires more and more strictness to Cryo Refrigerator, the defective of sterlin refrigerator also displays gradually, because the existence of displacer, the problem of wearing and tearing and vibration is inevitable, thereby causes the life-span to be reduced and the refrigeration performance deterioration.Pulse tube refrigerating machine can be regarded as an improvement of sterlin refrigerator; Owing to cancelled the moving component of sterlin refrigerator cold junction, not only make manufacture difficulty reduce, reduced the vibration of cold junction especially greatly, improved the reliability of refrigeration machine, also reduced electromagnetic interference; Therefore after the sixties propose, obtaining to develop rapidly in the eighties, become the most popular in the last few years small-sized Cryo Refrigerator, also is simultaneously the refrigeration machine of new generation that is fit to SPACE APPLICATION.
In order to obtain the lower temperature below the liquid nitrogen temperature, vascular refrigerator can followingly adopt several method; A kind of is to adopt multilevel hierarchy, and this multilevel hierarchy can obtain the temperature of liquid helium warm area, but multilevel hierarchy can increase the complexity of system and make difficulty, and the obtainable refrigerating capacity of this multilevel hierarchy is less; Because pulse tube refrigerating machine heating end temperature effect is bigger, the unstable perhaps too high performance of refrigeration machine that all will make of hot-side temperature is affected; Therefore in practical application, can adopt forecooling method is cooled off the needs that make the performance of refrigeration machine satisfy the detector operate as normal to the hot junction.The method of this precooling can adopt the mechanical type refrigeration machine to carry out precooling, for example increases the hot junction that a pulse tube refrigerating machine is used for cooling off secondary, and the structure of this thermal coupling is similar multistage, also increases the complexity of system simultaneously.Precooling also can adopt the storage type refrigeration system such as can adopting the liquid nitrogen precooling in addition, but this precooling mode directly receives what influence of working medium running time.Consider in space directly application of radiation refrigeration modes, and need not arrive very low temperature, thereby radiation refrigeration and pulse tube refrigerating machine be coupled then become a kind of good selection the hot junction cooling.TRW once just utilized specially designed heat radiator to control diffusing (the C K Chan of row of the used heat of refrigeration machine; AIRS Pulse TubeCryocooler System; Cryocooler 9); This system utilizes two opposed vascular refrigerators that the infrared imaging spectroscope is cooled off, but this system discharges the used heat that produces in compressor and the refrigeration machine through a supporting construction through radiator, does not utilize the direct paired pulses pipe of radiation refrigeration hot junction to cool off.Domestic also have the people with radiation refrigeration and the pulse tube refrigerating machine (Liu Yingwen etc. that are coupled; Patent: the space Cryo Refrigerator that radiation refrigeration is mutually compound with pulse tube refrigeration, the patent No.: CN1388344), but be directly compressor and refrigeration machine to be placed on the spoke cold drawing together in this system; Cool off whole system with the spoke cold drawing; Required like this refrigerating capacity is just bigger, can not bring into play the advantage of radiation refrigeration, can't make the hot junction of pulse tube drop to lower temperature.
Summary of the invention
