A reverse Brayton cycle with advance refrigeration of liquid nitrogen and four cycles with advance expander refrigeration were designed to provide 17.5 K cold source for H
2
system of cold neutron source(CNS)project. Based on thermodynamic and exergetic computation for the different cycle modes
thermodynamic parameters
exergy loss
exergy efficiency and cycle capability were obtained and analysed respectively. The results show that the capabilities and exergy efficiencies of the cycles with liquid nitrogen and with prepositive parallel connected expander are greater than those of others; for the cycle modes with advance expander refrigeration
parallel connection mode is superior to series connection mode
and prepositive mode is superior to postpositive
mode. The main exergy loss of cycle occurs in the compressor
the expander and the exchanger
so there are three ways to improve exergy efficiency of cycle:(1)reducing the mass rate of helium by improving cycle;(2)improving isoenthopic efficiency of the expander and isothermal efficiency of the compressor;(3)improving distribution of temperature
pressure
temperature difference and refrigerant in the exchanger. These results provide numerical basis of the design of helium cryogenic cooling system of CNS for China advanced research reactor(CARR).
