Dilution Refrigerator
Dilution refrigerator is a continuous ultralow temperature refrigeration system that produces cooling through the enthalpy of mixing of helium three and helium four isotopes. Below approximately 0.87 K, the liquid mixture separates into a helium three rich concentrated phase and a helium three dilute phase dissolved predominantly in helium four. At the phase boundary in the mixing chamber, helium three atoms move continuously from the concentrated phase into the dilute phase and absorb heat from the experimental load. The circulating helium three is removed from the dilute mixture at the still, pumped and compressed by the gas handling system, precooled through successive thermal stages and continuous counterflow heat exchangers, and returned to the mixing chamber. The principal components include a precooling stage, still, heat exchangers, mixing chamber, vacuum vessel, radiation shields, pumping system, gas handling system and experimental wiring or sample interfaces. Wet dilution refrigerators use a liquid helium bath for precooling, while cryogen free systems use a mechanical cryocooler, normally a pulse tube cryocooler. Properly designed systems provide continuous refrigeration at millikelvin temperatures and maintain the low vibration, electromagnetic shielding and thermal stability required for quantum devices and fundamental low temperature experiments.
