Description

Sorption pumped 3He refrigerator systems are a well described method of accessing the ~ 300mK temperature range. However, pulse-tube pre-cooled 3He systems typically also include a pumped 4He refrigerator stage to ensure the efficient condensation of the 3He charge, and a set of heat switches to isolate the sorption pumps during regeneration. Here we show that excellent cryogenic performance of a 3He refrigerator (base temperature below 250mK and 100µW cooling capacity below 330mK) can be achieved without the added complication of these heat switches.
