Abstract

An optimal design for Gifford-McMahon/Joule-Thomson(GM-JT) refrigerators was performed by a numerical method. The design goal was to meet the cooling requirement for MRI systems, which was 3 Watt at 4 K. A general cycle analysis program was written to calculate the cooling capacity of the GM-JT refrigerators for the givenstage GM refrigerator. The program was executed for a specific refrigerator with various design parameters. The optimal values for the maximum cooling were found for the sizes of the heat exchangers, the mass flow rate of helium, and the compression pressure.
