Expansion WF and J for helium liquefaction refrigerators, hydrogen liquefaction machines, etc.
In a cryogenic refrigeration system with a T valve, the discharge gas from the compressor is introduced into the refrigerator, and after being expanded by the expansion Ml and JT valves inside the refrigerator to generate cold, it is returned to the suction side of the compressor. However, if the compressor discharge ■ is higher than the flow rate inside the refrigerator,
This excess amount passes through the bypass line and bypasses the refrigerator. On the other hand, the flow rate inside the refrigerator is determined by the JT valve and the inlet valve of the expander, but the opening degree of the JT valve is determined by each operation mode such as liquefaction and refrigeration, whereas the inlet valve of the expander The more you open the expander, the more cold generation will occur in the expander, improving the capacity of the device. However, if the opening degree of the inlet valve of the expander is made too large, the electric power in the compressor will be exceeded.

As a result of various studies on these points, the inventor of the present invention detected the bypass flow rate, and this bypass flow rate becomes the minimum. We have found that by controlling the opening degree of the inlet valve of the expander in this manner, the inlet pressure of the expander can be optimally controlled and the gas flow rate of the expander can be appropriately controlled depending on the operating conditions.
