For simulating and optimizing sub-atmospheric heat exchanger of liquid helium/superfluid helium refrigeration system
a quasi-one-dimensional heat exchanger model is developed with distributed parameter differential method. Compared with the traditional heat exchanger design
this model enables to obtain the temperature and pressure fields by the coupling calculation. It takes the variable physical properties at liquid helium temperature and the axial heat loss of the heat exchanger into consideration to achieve a more accurate simulation of the temperature and pressure fields inside the heat exchanger. A liquid helium/superfluid helium heat exchanger
whose material and fin structure are optimally determined
is designed for a practical system with the proposed model
The results suggest that more accurate physical properties are necessary for the designed heat exchanger at liquid helium temperatures. When the material thermal conductivity is within the range from 4 to 10 W/(m·K)
the minimum heat exchanger length can be obtained with a smaller effect of axial heat conduction on the heat transfer performance. The five-layer(CHCHC)plate-fin heat exchanger with the material Al6061 and fin structure JC654202/JC474202 completely meets the requirements for the working conditions of the liquid helium/superfluid helium refrigeration system.
