摘要

摘要: 活性炭对氦气的吸附量数据是低温领域中吸附式制冷机、气隙式热开关和制冷机回热器研究中的重要参数。活性炭作为制冷机蓄冷材料时，其对氦气的高吸附量导致的高比热有望解决4 K制冷机目前磁性蓄冷材料蓄冷能力严重不足的瓶颈问题，另外还存在着无磁性优点。然而，目前液氦温区活性炭对氦气的吸附量还没有充足的实验数据。本文通过搭建实验台，测试了活性炭在4~10 K，0.5~3.5 MPa范围内的吸附量数据，并计算了吸附热。另外，为了充分验证使用吸附的氦气作为蓄冷材料的可行性，分别计算和测试了比热与流动阻力。结果表明，吸附氦气后的活性炭比热明显高于常规的回热器材料，其流动阻力也与目前Er₃Ni等颗粒材料相当，能够适用于4 K制冷机回热器的蓄冷材料。

Abstract: Adsorption data of helium on activated carbon at low temperatures are essential for its use in sorption coolers, gas-gap heat switches and the regenerators of cryocoolers. Especially when an activated carbon is used as the regenerator material in a cryocooler, the high specific heat caused by the high amount of adsorbed helium is expected to solve the bottleneck problem that the conventional 4 K cryocooler regenerator material suffers. It also has the advantage of being non-magnetic. However, the amounts of helium adsorbed on on the activated carbon in the temperature range of 4-10 K are low. In this paper, the adsorption isotherms of helium on a coconut shell-based activated carbon in the pressure-temperature range (4-10 K, 0.5-3.5 MPa) were measured with a self-built adsorption apparatus, from which the isosteric heats of adsorption and the specific heats of the activated carbon with adsorbed helium were calculated. The helium flow resistance through the activated carbon was also measured to evaluate its feasibility in a cryocooler. Results indicate that the isotherms are type I and can be fitted by the Langmuir adsorption model. The isosteric heats of adsorption are around 279 J/mol and change little with the amount of adsorbed helium. The specific heats of the activated carbon with adsorbed helium depend on the adsorption temperature and pressure, and their average values at 4-10 K are the highest among the commonly used solid regenerator materials (lead, SS, Er₃Ni and HoCu₂) and gaseous helium under the pressures investigated, which are ascribed to the high amount of helium adsorbed and the high heat of adsorption of helium on the activated carbon. The helium flow resistance through a material is related to its size and surface roughness and the value through the activated carbon is moderate among the four commonly used solid regenerator materials. Activated carbon with adsorbed helium is suitable as a regenerator material of cryocoolers because of its high specific heat and moderate flow resistance.
