International Cryogenics Monograph Series,0538-70513-030-11306-X Includes bibliographical references.Preface -- Atrey -- Pfotenhauer -- Jeong -- Kirichek -- Shirron -- Stautner -- Bain -- Caughley -- Stautner -- Spagna.This book serves as an introduction to cryocooler technology and describes the principle applications of cryocoolers across a broad range of fields. It covers the specific requirements of these applications, and describes how the advantages and disadvantages of different cryocooler systems are taken into consideration. For example, Stirling coolers tend to be used only in space applications because of their high coefficient of performance, low weight and proven reliability, whilst Gifford-McMahon coolers are used for ground applications, such as in cryopumps and MRI shield cooling applications. Joule-Thomson cryocoolers are used in missile technology because of the fast cool down requirements. The cryocooler field is fast developing and the number of applications are growing because of the increasing costs of the cryogens such as Helium and Neon. The first chapter of the book introduces the different types of cryocoolers, their classification, working principles, and their design aspects, and briefly mentions some of the applications of these systems. This introductory chapter is followed by a number of contributions from prominent international researchers, each describing a specific field of application, the cooling requirements and the cryocooler systems employed. These areas of application include gas liquefaction, space technology, medical science, dilution refrigerators, missile systems, and physics research including particle accelerators. Each chapter describes the cooling requirements based on the end use, the approximate cooling load calculations, the criteria for cryocooler selection, the arrangement for cryocooler placement, the connection of the cooler to the object to be cooled, and includes genuine case studies. Intended primarily for researchers working on cryocoolers, the book will also serve as an introduction to cryocooler technology for students, and a useful reference for those using cryocooler systems in any area of application.International Cryogenics Monograph Series,0538-7051Low temperature physicsLow temperaturesThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeat transferMass transferMedical physicsRadiationAerospace engineeringAstronauticsLow Temperature Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25130Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transferhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000Medical and Radiation Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27060Thermodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Low temperature physics.Low temperatures.Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.Heat transfer.Mass transfer.Medical physics.Radiation.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Low Temperature Physics.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.Medical and Radiation Physics.Thermodynamics.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.536.56Atrey Milind Dedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996418164603316Cryocoolers1964393UNISA
