A Novel Approach of −80 °C Cascade Refrigeration System Using Non-Flammable Quaternary Refrigerants for Semiconductor Process Applications

Ultra-low temperature chillers have seen increasing demand with the advancement of semiconductor technology. Mixed refrigerant (MR) cascade refrigeration systems (CRSs) are widely utilized for their stability and high cooling performance at low temperatures. Extensive research has been conducted on optimizing MR, which has a significant impact on CRS performance. However, most previous studies have either fixed the system pressure or used the refrigeration effect as the sole performance indicator. This did not account for the potential of achieving higher performance with an optimal MR composition at the same target temperature. In this study, a detailed parametric analysis was performed to investigate how the mass fractions of high-, mid-, and low boiling point refrigerants affect the coefficient of performance (COP) and exergy in ultra-low temperature CRSs without fixing the suction pressure. The analysis revealed that at the point of maximum COP, the refrigeration effect was relatively low, highlighting the limitations of using the refrigeration effect alone as a performance indicator. Additionally, COP was found to inversely correlate with total exergy destruction. As cascade temperature increases, COP tends to decrease, emphasizing the need for appropriate cascade temperature selection for MR CRS performance. This study introduces a novel approach to optimizing MR composition under various operating conditions, contributing to the advancement of ultra-low temperature CRSs.

Performance study of oil-injection hermetic CO2 scroll compressor for automotive air conditioning system.

An oil-injection CO2 scroll compressor prototype and relative simulation model are developed for automotive Air Conditioning. The effects of oil to refrigerant mass ratio on the compressor performance are studied theoretically and experimentally. The results show that oil-injection is an effective way to improve the volumetric and indicated efficiencies, and reduce discharge temperature. The optimal oil-injection quantity varies at different conditions, and it decreases from 7.9% to 6.3% at fixed discharge pressure 10MPa when the suction pressure increases from 4.5MPa to 5MPa. Similar linear relationships are found and the different slopes of the line are exhibited at fixed suction and discharge pressure separately. Numerical results show that oil-injection has little influence on pressure in working chamber during suction and discharge process, but it can slow up the rising of pressure in compression process and reduce the salient of pressure at the end of compression process.

Design and Optimizing of Precision Seeder of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica L. Bud-Seeds for Containerized Nursery Production

Mongolian pine holds immense ecological and economic values as a vital biobased material. Its wood fiber, rosin and turpentine are important raw materials suitable for multiple industrial applications, it also exhibited soil and water conservation capabilities. To improve its seeding efficiency, this study designed a precision seeding machine for Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica L.) bud-seeds, and optimized the technical seeding parameters, which utilized a combined vibration-air blowing fluidization device to overcome seed flowability limitations and facilitate accurate seed selection. A particle model was established based on the seeds’ physical characteristics, and EDEM software was utilized to simulate the spatial distribution of seed particles under various seeding parameters through seeding experiments. The optimal air pressure for the combined seed supply was approximately 0.24 kPa, with a frequency of 20 Hz and an amplitude of 5 mm, to obtain an optimal spatial distribution of the seed particles. The most effective seeding area for seed adhesion was determined to be 5–15 mm from the bottom of the seeding plate. When the seed suction negative pressure is set to 6.7 kPa, with an upper hole diameter of 0.9 mm, a lower hole diameter of 3 mm, and a hole depth of 1.5 mm, the seedling emergence rate reached 89.06%, and the fastest emergence time was 2 days. One month after sowing, the seedlings exhibited a height growth rate of 16.1%, and a ground diameter growth rate of 20.9%. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the precision seeding machine and optimized parameters in achieving efficient and accurate sowing of Mongolian pine bud-seeds. This work provides basic technical and data support for advancing the development and sustainable utilization of Mongolian pine as a vital biobased material resource.

An Unusual Cause of Failure of Fiberoptic Intubation due to Continuous Suctioning: A Case Report

ABSTRACTFlexible fiberoptic intubation is the gold standard technique during difficult airway management. Failure of fiberoptic intubation could be due to patient factors, equipment factors, and operator expertise. We present a case where fiberoptic intubation was unsuccessful because of equipment error following continuous suction pressure application.

Study on hydrothermal migration and interface cracking mechanisms of supporting reinforcing bodies in the root erosion zones of rammed earth sites in arid regions

The characteristics of hydrothermal migration and strain variations manifest differently in soils with contrasting properties. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the patterns of hydrothermal transfer and strain changes between the root erosion zone of rammed earth sites and the supporting reinforcing body during the process of desiccation, which leads to the differentiation and cracking of the interface between the reinforcing body and the site itself. This paper presents experimental monitoring conducted on-site regarding temperature, moisture content, strain, and the development of interface cracks in the supporting reinforcing body (including rammed earth repair body, cushion layers, and the site itself) during the drying process. The results indicate that the variations in temperature field, moisture field, and shrinkage strain field during the desiccation of the reinforcing body are distinct, with changes in moisture content predominantly influencing the shrinkage strain of the reinforced soil. Notably, the shrinkage of the reinforcing soil exhibits significant location and directional variability. The suction pressure of the site is a critical factor that leads to the rapid loss of moisture at the interface, as well as changes in the moisture distribution of the reinforcing body; the differential shrinkage between the site material and the reinforcing soil in the interface region is the fundamental reason for the development and propagation of interface cracks.

Effects of the rotor tip gap on the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance of a ducted rotor in hover

Ducted rotors are configurations known to outperform their unducted reference baselines when aerodynamic performance is concerned. Aside from aerodynamic benefits in hover, a duct also affects acoustic emissions. One of the most contended design parameters of a duct-rotor assembly is the radial distance between the blade tip and the duct wall, referred to as the “tip gap”. The present study explains how the aerodynamic performance of a ducted-rotor system is affected by the tip-gap distance, taking into account the performance of the rotor and those of the duct's inlet lip and diffuser sections. Separate thrust measurements of the rotor and duct establish that the latter can generate up to half of the total thrust of the assembly. Static wall-pressure measurements along the inner wall of the duct reveal a low pressure suction zone over the duct's inlet lip area. This allows the assembly to generate more thrust than the rotor alone, even though the duct's diffuser section generates a drag component (negative thrust). From the velocity fields it is further shown that the performance-deterioration with an increasing tip gap distance is associated with a contraction of the rotor slipstream in the duct diffuser.

Optimization of Centrifugal Pump Properties to Improve the Accuracy of Water Discharge and Pump Head Measurements

Centrifugal pumps are extensively used in industries and water management systems, where accurate measurements of water flow rate and pump head are essential for evaluating performance. However, inaccuracies arising from suboptimal designs of training kits present challenges in educational environments. This study aimed to optimize a centrifugal pump training kit to enhance measurement accuracy and reliability. The research was conducted over four months, involving modifications to the impeller, casing, and pressure measurement systems, along with rigorous calibration to minimize errors. Measurements of suction pressure, discharge pressure, water flow rate, and pump head were repeated under standardized conditions to ensure data consistency. The results demonstrated significant improvements, with consistent measurements of suction pressure (21 inHg), discharge pressure (15 PSI), water flow rate (0.5 L/s), and pump head (1.38 mH₂O). These optimizations reduced system inefficiencies, such as backflow and turbulence, and enhanced the kit’s ability to replicate real-world operating conditions. The improved training kit provides students with a reliable tool for practical learning, bridging theoretical concepts with real-world applications in fluid mechanics. This study underscores the importance of continual enhancement of laboratory teaching tools to support effective education and industrial relevance.

Respiratory endoscopy intervention in 12 patients with refractory persistent air leakage after pulmonary surgery: a preliminary study of case series

ObjectiveTo explore the value of our protocol of respiratory endoscopy intervention in the treatment of refractory persistent air leakage(PAL) after pulmonary surgery.MethodA retrospective study was conducted in 12 patients with PAL after pulmonary surgery who were successfully treated by our protocol of respiratory endoscopy intervention in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the Fourth Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University and the First Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from December 2019 to January 2024. 4 types of treatment were included in our protocol; A: chest tube drainage combined with negative pressure suction; B: medical thoracoscopy with chest tube as a path; C: stimulating bronchial mucosa hyperplasia under bronchoscopy; D: blocking of the fistula orifice with the relevant materials under the bronchoscope; And the specific treatment received by each patient was based on the condition of the patient.ResultsThe bronchopleural fistula was found in 7 patients; The fistula orifice was found in 5 patients and the diameter of fistula orifices were 4.0–12.0 mm, with an average of 7.2 ± 3.6 mm. Among the 7 patients with bronchopleural fistula, 1 patient received C + D, 1 patient received A + B + C, 1 patient received A + C + D, 4 patients received A + B + C + D; Among the 5 patients with fistula orifice, 2 patients received C + D, 2 patients received A + B + D, 1 patient received A + C + D. All the 12 patients were effectively treated, among which 9 patients who underwent chest tube drainage were successfully extubed. The median (interquartile distance) retention time of chest tubes before and after our protocol of respiratory endoscopy intervention were respectively 73.5(50.5,106.25) days and 29(22,38.75) days, p < 0.05.ConclusionsOur protocol of respiratory endoscopy intervention can significantly shorten the retention time of the patient’s chest tube and effectively treat refractory PAL after pulmonary surgery. However, it should be emphasized that individualized therapy should be provided according to the location and size of the fistula orifice.

Use of active low suction pressure (subgaleal) drains in chronic subdural haematoma surgery

Subdural drains are used to reduce recurrence after surgical evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma. There is a small risk of parenchymal injury. We hypothesize that using subgaleal drains with low active suction (-50mmHg to -100mmHg) may be a safer alternative while still maintaining efficacy in preventing recurrence. A retrospective review of adult patients who underwent surgical drainage of chronic subdural hematoma at our institution was performed. They were classified into 2 groups - subdural group and subgaleal group. We collected data on patient demographics, preoperative use of antiplatelets or anticoagulants, the type of drains used, laterality of burrhole surgery performed and postoperative complications, and recurrence. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were used to analyse the data. 322 patients were recruited, with 172 receiving subgaleal drains with low active suction and 150 receiving passive subdural drains. There was no significant difference in the rate of recurrence with 11.0 % recurrence in the subgaleal drain group and 9.3% recurrence in the subdural drain group (p = 0.660). Patients who underwent active subgaleal drain insertion had significantly fewer complications, at 2.3% compared to 8.0% in patients who had passive subdural drains (p = 0.037). The use of subgaleal drains with low active suction led to significantly lower complication rates compared to the use of subdural drains, while maintaining its efficacy in preventing recurrence.

Applications of flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy with negative pressure suction and percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the treatment of 2-3cm diameter renal calculi.

Renal calculus, or kidney stone disease, presents a significant healthcare challenge globally, necessitating diverse therapeutic interventions. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy (FURL) are prominent among these interventions, with PCNL favored for stones > 2cm and FURL for smaller stones and applications of flexible ureteroscope lithotripsy with negative pressure suction for stones 1.5-2.5cm have some benefit. From June 2019 to January 2024, 310 patients undergoing FURL with negative pressure suction or PCNL for 2-3cm renal calculi were retrospectively analyzed. The demographic and clinical data were collected, and outcomes including stone-free rates (SFR), postoperative complications, and surgical parameters were compared. Comparable SFR were observed between FURL and PCNL groups at 1-month follow-up, although PCNL was superior to FURL after immediately post-surgery. FURL exhibited significantly fewer complications overall (5.7% vs. 19.3%, p = 0.044), shorter hospital stays, and lower postoperative pain levels. The surgical parameters favored FURL, showing lower bleeding volumes, shorter catheter removal times, and less hemoglobin decrease postoperatively. Despite similar stone clearance efficacy at 1-month follow-up, FURL demonstrated superior safety and postoperative outcomes compared to PCNL for 2-3cm renal calculi. These findings highlight the potential advantages of FURL in reducing complications, enhancing recovery, and optimizing patient care pathways.

Experimental study and sensitivity analysis of performance for a hydrogen diaphragm compressor

As the critical infrastructure of hydrogen in transportation, the energy consumption of hydrogen refuelling stations plays a pivotal role in the progress of hydrogen energy within the transportation sector. Volumetric and isentropic efficiencies serve as metrics for evaluating compressor performance. To investigate the extent of factors, including suction pressure, pressure ratio, overflow pressure, and rotational speed, to the efficiencies of the diaphragm compressor, an experimental rig was set up in this study. The volume and energy losses were analysed by studying pressure–volume diagrams. The result shows that elevating suction pressure results in an increased isentropic efficiency. Specifically, raising suction pressure from 0.2 MPa to 0.8 MPa yields a 10.2 % increase in isentropic efficiency. The increase in pressure ratio leads to a reduction in volumetric efficiency but an increase in isentropic efficiency. When the pressure ratio increased from 3 to 7, the volumetric efficiency decreased by 6.5 % in volumetric efficiency, but the isentropic efficiency increased by 9.8 %. Moreover, the escalation in rotational speed corresponds to a decrease in both volumetric and isentropic efficiencies. As the rotational speed increased from 420 r/min to 660 r/min, volumetric efficiency dropped by 9.6 %, and isentropic efficiency experienced a 19.2 % decrease.

Thermodynamic modelling of a twin-stage claw vacuum pump and its gas pressurization analysis

Multi-stage claw vacuum pumps are crucial in various industrial applications for efficiently achieving high vacuum levels compared to other positive displacement vacuum pumps. In order to elucidate the gas pressurization process of the multi-stage claw vacuum pump and clarify its structural design principles, the authors investigated a twin-stage claw vacuum pump as the main research subject, and analyzed its working characteristic. A thermodynamic model of the twin-stage claw vacuum pump describing the pressurization process was established, and the results were verified by means of experiments. Moreover, effects of the phase difference φⅠ-Ⅱ, the first-stage discharge port angle θd,Ⅰ and the thickness ratio B1:B2 on pump performance were discussed. Results show that as φⅠ-Ⅱ increases, the pump power of the first stage gradually increases, while the power of the second stage decreases and then increases. With the increase of θd,Ⅰ, the pump power decreases and then increases. When the suction pressure is 10 kPa, the specific power reaches its minimum value under B1: B2 = 2:1. As the suction pressure increases, the pump power gradually increases, and its specific power fells substantially and then levels out. These contents are of great significance for the design and optimization of multi-stage claw vacuum pumps.

Theoretical analysis and experimental validation of optimal vapor injection conditions for a low-pressure ratio scroll compressor

This study investigates the impact of vapor injection parameters and positions on the performance of a low-pressure ratio scroll compressor in electric vehicle thermal management systems under extremely low temperatures. The research combines experimental and simulation methods to analyze five injection ports designed at different positions. Key performance metrics, including mass flow rate, discharge temperature (Tdis), coefficient of performance (COP), compression work, and heating capacity (Qh) were evaluated under various conditions. A low-pressure ratio (scroll number N = 2) vapor injection scroll compressor was designed with an optimized injection port configuration. This design was rigorously validated through experimental results, confirming its efficacy. Notably, the findings reveal that the enhancement in Qh and COP is more pronounced in extremely low-temperature working conditions compared to non-injection conditions, with improvements of 10.7 % and 4.6 %, respectively. Compressor performance increases with increasing vapor injection pressure, and compressor speed and performance increment are more significant under low-temperature working conditions. Finally, an injection coefficient, denoted as k, is proposed to determine the optimal injection pressure for diverse discharge and suction pressures in cold climates. According to the experimental results, the value of k associated with the best heating COP ranges between 0.65 and 0.85.

Pressure reduction and suction characteristics of the new digital single use flexible ureteroscope with suction: an in-vitro experimental study.

To assess the time taken by the single use 7.5Fr suction flexible ureteroscope to reduce pressure under 40mm Hg and to characterize the behavior of stones, fragments and dust during suction activation. An in vitro setting was developed for this experiment. A saline-filled globe, with the 7.5Fr single-use suction flexible ureteroscope, PU3033AH (ZhuHai Pusen Medical Technology Co, Ltd, Guangdon, China), an automatic irrigation pump and a pressure monitoring set were used at four modalities; i) continuous suction, no irrigation inflow; ii) continuous suction, irrigation inflow on; iii) one-second rate intermittent suction, irrigation inflow on, and iv) half-second rate intermittent suction, irrigation inflow on. The behavior of calcium oxalate stones from 0.5 to 5mm when being aspirated via the ureteroscope into a plastic container filled with saline was recorded. Suction with the PU3033AH worked properly with the inflow irritation on. The fastest strategy to lower the pressure was by continuously pressing the suction button with the irrigation inflow on. Overall, the median time to reach 40mg was roughly 3.5s. The PU3033AH could aspirate 0.5mm stones. The suction mode on a continuous pattern allowed the relocation of stones ranging from 1 to 5mm on an experimental setup with no obstacles. The PU3033AH was efficient in lowering pressure in a closed cavity mimicking the renal pelvis. Likewise, stone fragments under one millimeter were aspirated by the device whereas stones from one to five mm could be displaced when activating suction in continuous mode on an experimental setup with no obstacles.

Potential Evaluation of Twin-Screw Air Expanders with Dual-Lead Rotors Used in PEMFC Systems

The reduction in the power cost of air supply systems has emerged as a critical challenge in the development of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. This study proposes the use of dual-lead rotors to improve the performance of twin-screw expanders for the purpose of boosting expanders’ recovery power and consequently lowering the power cost of the air supply subsystem, which is hardly investigated in previous publications. For this purpose, a mathematical model is built to assess the potential of improving the expander performance by means of the dual-lead rotors. And the influence of lead and length of the high-pressure rotor segment and overall rotor length are analyzed. The results demonstrate that the smaller lead and larger length of the high-pressure rotor segment result in better geometric characteristics and thus thermodynamic performance. For example, case #4 with dual-lead rotors exhibits a larger rotating angle at the suction end and a larger suction area than those of constant-lead rotors by 43° and 100%, respectively, which further lower the suction pressure loss. Compared with constant-lead rotors, the maximum increments in the mass flowrate and indicated power are observed as 45% and 25.4%, respectively. However, the dual-lead rotors could not effectively contribute to an increase in the isentropic indicated efficiency of twin-screw expanders due to the severe leakage, and hence, it becomes crucial to address the leakage issues in twin-screw expanders.

Design and Experimental Optimization of an Automated Longline-Suspended Oyster Spat Insertion Device

To address the challenges of labor-intensive and costly manual oyster spat insertion in longline-suspended farming, an automated oyster spat insertion device was designed based on negative pressure suction and bundling fixation technologies. Using this device as the experimental platform, a three-factor, three-level Box–Behnken experiment was conducted, with fixation mechanism inclination, negative pressure suction cup span, and horizontal distance between turnover and fixation mechanisms as the experimental factors. The performance of the device was evaluated using the effective fixation rate and damage rate as the experimental indicators. The quadratic polynomial regression models were established to assess the impact of these factors on operational performance, while the response surface method was employed to analyze the interaction effects between factors. Parameter optimization and experimental validation were also performed. The results indicate that the factors affecting the effective fixation rate, in order of significance, are as follows: fixation mechanism inclination, horizontal distance between turnover and fixation mechanisms, and negative pressure suction cup span. For the damage rate, the order of significance is as follows: fixation mechanism inclination &gt; negative pressure suction cup span &lt; horizontal distance between turnover and fixation mechanisms. The optimization results show that when the fixation mechanism inclination is set at 43°, the negative pressure suction cup span at 27 mm, and the horizontal distance between turnover and fixation mechanisms at 179 mm, the effective fixation rate reaches 92.08%, and the damage rate is 4.71%. The relative errors between the measured and model-predicted values are less than 5%, indicating that the regression models are reliable. This research provides valuable insights for advancing the mechanization of the oyster farming industry and replacing manual labor with mechanized equipment.

Understanding and mitigating settlement in gypseous soils: A comprehensive study on the role of saturation and soil stabilization techniques

This study examines the influence of saturation levels and soil additives on the load-settlement properties of gypseous soils, a significant geotechnical concern in regions like Iraq. The study analyzes the deficiencies of conventional oedometer testing, which often fail to adequately represent the true unsaturated conditions prevalent in these soils. The research investigates the impact of varying matric suction (Ψ) values on the compressibility of untreated, cement-treated, and CKD-treated gypseous soils. A modified oedometer apparatus, engineered to control and quantify matric suction, was used to replicate diverse moisture conditions. The experimental program investigated soils with varying gypsum contents (8.8%, 12.66%, and 30%), reflecting the diversity of gypseous soils seen in the field. The findings demonstrate that increased saturation levels significantly enhance settling in gypseous soils. As matric suction increases, settlement is markedly reduced due to elevated soil suction pressure and enhanced effective stress. The findings underscore the importance of unsaturated conditions in improving the load-bearing capacity of these soils. The study illustrates the advantageous impacts of cement and CKD treatments in reducing settling. The effectiveness of these methods is particularly apparent in partially saturated environments, emphasizing the need of including matric suction into design considerations. This research improves understanding of the complex behavior of unsaturated gypseous soils. The findings have practical importance for geotechnical engineering, including foundation design, ground improvement methods, and the development of effective solutions for settlement issues in areas with high gypsum concentrations.

Dynamic strain distribution monitoring and fatigue damage analysis on a 100 kW wind turbine blade based on field aerodynamic measurements

Abstract Operation and maintenance (O&amp;M) costs can account for 10%–20% of the total costs of electricity for a wind project. Structural health monitoring method is a form of preventive maintenance consisting of regular monitoring of the wind turbine components to detect potential faults. The strain measurements on the blades are typically used for load monitoring and damage detection, but only obtain a small amount of concentrated load information. In this work, a strain distribution monitoring method was proposed and validated based on aerodynamic measurements in the field. Then the contribution and evolution of the strain distribution from the aerodynamic load, gravity load, inertial load, and centrifugal load in the complex start-up process of the wind turbine were analyzed. The results shows that the mean value of the synthetic strain is mainly determined by the aerodynamic load and the centrifugal load, while the fluctuation amplitude is mainly determined by the gravity and the aerodynamic load. Furthermore, the fatigue damage of the blade root was evaluated based on strain extrapolation, rainflow cycle-counting algorithm, Goodman diagram and Miner’s linear superposition principle. It is found that the fatigue damage is generally greatest near the pressure side and suction side, and least near the leading edge and trailing edge. The strain distribution monitoring method can capture the location of maximum stress and the most severe fatigue damage on the blade, which are helpful for damage detection and load control, and further reduces O&amp;M costs.

Experimental investigation on wind loads and wind-induced responses of large-span flexible photovoltaic support structure

Flexible photovoltaic (PV) support structure offers benefits such as low construction costs, large span length, high clearance, and high adaptability to complex terrains. However, due to the high flexibility and low damping of the cable system, wind load becomes the primary control factor for structural safety and the key consideration in the design. In this study, a 45 m span flexible PV support structure with 3 spans and 12 rows was designed. The wind loads on PV panels were obtained by wind tunnel tests on a rigid model and the wind-induced responses were investigated by wind tunnel tests on an aeroelastic model. The shielding effects and tilt angle of PV modules on the wind load and wind-induced vibration of the flexible PV support were studied. The experimental results show that in the rigid model wind tunnel test, the wind pressure on the surface of PV modules exhibits a gradient distribution along the direction of wind flow, with symmetric distribution along the mid span. With the increase in the tilt angle of the PV module, the shielding effect becomes significant and the most pronounced shielding effect on the mean wind pressure coefficient occurs in the second row of the windward zone. In aeroelastic model wind tunnel tests, the mean vertical displacement of the flexible PV support structure increases with the increase of wind speed and tilt angle of PV modules. Due to the wind-resistant anchor cables set in both the windward and leeward zones, the vibration amplitude near the edge rows is significantly smaller than that of the middle rows when the structure is subjected to wind suction. When the flexible PV support structure is subjected to wind pressure, the maximum mean vertical displacement occurs in the first rows at high wind speeds. The shielding effect has a noticeable impact on the wind-induced response of the leeward zone at α = 20° under wind pressure, resulting in the decrease of amplitude vibration by approximately 53 %. The wind vibration coefficients in different zones under the wind pressure or wind suction are mostly between 2.0 and 2.15. Compared with the experimental results, the current Chinese national standards are relatively conservative in the equivalent static wind loads of flexible PV support structure.

Enhancing Semiconductor Chiller Performance: Investigating the Performance Characteristics of Ultra-Low-Temperature Chillers Applying a Liquid Receiver

This study investigates the implementation of a cryogenic chiller utilizing a mixed-refrigerant cascade refrigeration cycle (MRCRC). In this setup, R-404A is employed in the high-temperature circuit (HTC), while a mixture of refrigerants is utilized in the low-temperature circuit (LTC). Unlike a conventional MRCRC that operates without a receiver to maintain the composition ratio, this research explores the impact of receiver installation on system performance. Experiments were conducted with and without a receiver to assess performance improvements and device behavior. With a fixed refrigerant charge of 4 kg, the suction and discharge pressures of the LTC compressor remained low and stable after the receiver’s installation. The addition of a receiver significantly reduced the cooling time, with further reductions observed as the refrigerant charge increased. The system achieved evaporative heat capacities of 0.59, 1.76, and 2 kW for refrigerant charges of 4, 7, and 9 kg, respectively. Notably, at the maximum refrigerant charge of 11 kg, the evaporative heat capacity peaked at 3.3 kW. These findings indicate that incorporating a receiver is crucial for enhancing the cooling performance of cryogenic coolers using mixed refrigerants and stabilizing device operation. This contrasts with previous studies that omitted receivers due to concerns over potential alterations in the composition ratio of the mixed refrigerant.
