Abstract
The Cryogenic Engineering Section of the Superconducting Power Transmission Line Project at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory has been evaluating the performance of force-flow heat transfer systems. This includes the measurement of temperature profiles[1], thermal pulse transmittal rates [2] and the thermal performance of cryogenic insulation and refrigeration systems [3] All of these tasks require the measurement of the mass flow rate of gaseous helium near 10 K provided by a closed-loop helium refrigeration system. An orifice flow meter installed within the cold box of a CTI model 1400 helium refrigerator/liquefier, along with the gas density inferred from pressure and temperature measurements, is used to determine the helium mass flow rate. This paper describes the calibration and use of this mass flow meter.
