Description

The 4He Joule-Thomson cryocooler (JTC) utilizes the JT effect of 4He to typically achieve the temperature of about 4 K. It can be used to cool the detectors with the operating temperature of 4 K and precool the sub-Kelvin refrigerators, which is widely used in space missions such as Astro-H, SPICA, ATHENA, and etc. Based our laboratory’s research, an engineering prototype of the 4He JTC precooled by a two-stage pulse tube cryocooler (PTC) is designed as a precooling stage of the closed-cycle dilution refrigerator. After experiment studies, the 4He JTC successfully obtained a cooling power of 100 mW at 4.0 K with a total input power of 600 W.
