The flow inside the cold box of a conventional helium liquefaction refrigerator is achieved by connecting the expander outlet line to the cold end of the low pressure line of the fourth heat exchanger, that is, between the fourth heat exchanger and the fifth heat exchanger. It was just that. In this case, the fifth heat exchanger at startup will only be cooled by the return gas of the gas that has passed through the medium pressure line after 80K, and will become a heat exchanger for the same gas.
Precooling is performed by reducing the amount of return gas, but
Generally, there was a drawback that precooling did not proceed smoothly.

〔発明の目的〕[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the wood invention was to directly transfer the cold gas from the outlet of the expansion
The purpose is to send it to a heat exchanger to promote cooling during pre-cooling.

Pre-cooling of the cold box is mainly done using liquid nitrogen as an auxiliary refrigerant up to about 80 K, but after that, the expansion machine is used as the main cooling agent until liquefaction. Therefore, the wooden invention introduces the cold gas at the outlet of the expander into the fifth heat exchanger.
A cooling line is installed to allow cooling from the heat exchanger.
