Abstract

Adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators (ADR) are being widely used in space exploration projects and frontier scientific research fields. During the design process of ADR, the assumption of a uniform magnetic field is often used to determine the amount of magnetocaloric material and to predict the cooling capacity. However, the actual magnetic field produced by a superconducting magnet is usually non-uniform, and the non-uniformity inside the salt pill results in reduced cooling capacity. To investigate the impact of magnetic field non-uniformity on the performance of an ADR system by changing the length of the salt pill, a simulation model that incorporates both the superconducting magnet and salt pill is established. The model is verified by experiment with cooling power of 0.76 mW@1 K. Performance of the ADR with different cooling powers, different working temperatures and different pre-cooling temperatures are compared and analyzed. When the maximum magnetic flux density is 4 T, the cooling power is 0.7 mW, the initial temperature is 2.68 K and the working temperature is 1 K, the largest net cooling capacity of 5.39 J can be achieved corresponding to the length ratio of 1.1.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling. As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews. Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
