CDPL series Instruction Manual Appendix D PRINCIPLE OF REFRIGERATOR OPERATION Helium gas is used as heat-medium gas of a refrigeration cycle in our refrigerator systems, because it does not liquefy even at 10K. First, helium gas is compressed into high pressure, cooled by water-cooling or air cooling to the room temperature in the compressor unit, and flows into the regenerator when the valve A opens.
In addition, the load to the seal inside is light, it is highly efficient and reliable refrigeration cycle. The refrigeration cycle with the mechanical driving system adopted by ULVAC CRYOGENICS INC is explained as follows.
