Definitions
- the invention relates to an air-cooled compressor for supplying a cryo-refrigerator with helium with a first cooler through which compressed helium flows, with a further cooler through which the operating oil of the compressor flows, and with a blower.
- Cryogenic refrigerators are low-temperature refrigeration machines in which thermodynamic cycle processes take place (see, for example, US Pat. No. 2,9 06,101).
- a single-stage cryo-refrigerator essentially comprises a compressor, connecting lines and a cold head with a displacer and a work space, hereinafter referred to as the chamber.
- the chamber is alternately connected to a high pressure and a low pressure helium source so that the thermodynamic cycle (Stirling process, Gifford / Mc Mahon process, etc.) takes place during the reciprocating movement of the displacer, whereby the working gas is conducted in a closed circuit.
- the result is that heat is extracted from a certain area of the chamber.
- a two-stage refrigerator of this type e.g. B. generate temperatures below 10 K.
- An essential supply device for a refrigerator is the compressor, in which the helium expanded in the refrigerator is compressed again, from approximately 7 bar (low pressure) to approximately 22 bar (high pressure). Almost all of the power required for this compression is converted into heat. This heat is approx. 25% from the helium and approx. 75% from the compressor operating oil added. It is known to use water or air to cool the helium and the operating oil. Water cooling systems have relatively high operating costs. The aim of the present invention is therefore to create an air-cooled compressor which is particularly suitable for supplying refrigerators.
- the present invention has for its object to provide an air-cooled compressor for supplying a cryo-refrigerator with helium, which no longer has the disadvantages described.
- this object is achieved in that the coolers for the operating oil of the compressor and the helium and the blower are accommodated in a separate housing from the compressor, that the cooler for the helium is upstream of the oil cooler in relation to the air flow generated by the blower and that the compressor housing and the cooler housing are connected to one another via lines.
- the size of the compressor housing can be chosen to be so small that it can be installed in the frames for electronic components (racks).
- the connecting lines to the refrigerator can be kept short.
- the connecting lines between the compressor and the combined cooler can be chosen so long that the cooler is outside the room, e.g. of a "clean room" in which the refrigerator is located. Placing the cooler outdoors is particularly advantageous.
- the refrigerator to be supplied with helium is designated by 1 in FIG. It is connected to the compressor 4 via the gas connecting lines 2 and 3.
- the connecting lines 2, 3 are connected to the refrigerator 1 and the compressor housing 4 via self-sealing couplings 5, 6 and 7, 8.
- the actual compressor 11 is located within the compressor housing 4, the input of which is connected via the line 12 to the connecting line 2 between the compressor housing 4 and the refrigerator 1.
- a line section 13 connects to the outlet of the compressor 11 and leads to the self-sealing coupling 14 on the compressor housing 4. This is followed by a line 15, which leads to the separate cooler housing 16.
- the helium cooler 17, the oil cooler 18 and the blower 19 are located within the cooler housing 16. The arrangement is such that the air flow generated by the suction blower 19 (or - when the blower is arranged in front of the helium cooler - pressing air flow) first the helium cooler 17 and only then hits the oil cooler 18.
- the helium cooler 17 is connected via the line section 21 to the self-sealing coupling 22, to which the line 15 is connected, which is connected to the compressor via the self-sealing coupling 14.
- the line section 23 located within the cooler housing 16, which is again connected to the compressor housing 4 via self-sealing couplings 24 and 25 and the line 26.
- the relaxed helium gelant via lines 2 and 12 to the compressor 11 and is compressed to the required pressure.
- the compressed and heated helium reaches the helium cooler 17 via the line sections 13, 15 and 21. In this cooler, it is cooled to the desired temperature of maximum 40 ° C. and reaches the refrigerator 1 again via the line sections 23, 26, 27 and 3.
- Oil contaminants of the helium gas are separated in the separators 28 and 29 and in the adsorber 31. The separated oil is fed back to the compressor 11 via the lines 32 and 33.
- the feed pump 34 located in the compressor housing 4, which is arranged in the line section 35, serves to transport the operating oil of the compressor 11 in an oil circuit.
- the oil circuit comprises this line section 35, the lines 36 and 37, the oil cooler 18 and the line sections 38, 39 and 40.
- the line sections 35 and 40 are accommodated within the compressor housing 4; the line sections 37 and 38 are located in the cooler housing 16.
- Self-sealing couplings 41 to 44 serve to couple the connecting lines 36 and 39 to the compressor housing 4 and to the cooler housing 16. This prevents contamination of the media, oil and helium, which is carried.
- FIG. 2 shows a view of the cooler housing 16 with the walls shown broken away in the area of the blower 19.
- Three housing sections 51, 52 and 53 are provided.
- the helium cooler 17 is located in the first or front section 51 with respect to the flowing cooling air (arrows 54).
- the oil cooler 18 (not visible).
- a cross-flow fan 19 is accommodated in the third section 53.
- the length of the rotor 19 drum rotor
- the drive motor 56 of the fan 19 is accommodated in an attachment 55 on the housing 16. In this embodiment, it is possible to have a strong one, via the cooler 17 and 18 to produce a substantially uniformly distributed air flow.
- FIG. 3 shows the manner in which the helium cooler 17 (in the housing section 51) and the oil cooler 18 (in the housing section 52) are flowed through.
- the supply and discharge lines (15, 36 and 26, 39) for helium and oil are connected to a lower, divided inlet and outlet box 61 and 62 in the foot of the housing sections 51 and 52, respectively.
- the central regions of the housing sections 51, 52 have vertical pipe sections 63 which are flowed through from bottom to top or top to bottom. The redirection takes place in an upper box.
- the air flow generated by the fan 19 in the housing section 53 flows perpendicular to this.
- Figure 4 shows a view of the compressor housing 4 and the cooler housing 16, connected by the parallel and spaced lines 15, 26, 36 and 39.
- an electrical supply line 57 is provided.
- the lines 15, 26, 26 and 39 are connected to the compressor housing 4 and the cooler housing 16 via self-sealing couplings. They are expediently designed to be flexible, so that the arrangement of the cooler 16 with respect to the compressor can be selected as desired. It is particularly advantageous to use corrugated hoses made of metal (stainless steel) as connecting lines, which are kept at a distance by means of clips. Part of the heat absorbed by the helium and oil is then released to the environment in the area of the connecting lines.
