CFD-Simulations of a 4π-contiuous-mode dilution refrigerator for the CB-ELSA experiment — Timo Altfelde, Marcel Bornstein, Hartmut Dutz, Stefan Goertz, Roland Miebach, Scott Reeve, •Stefan Runkel, Marco Sommer, and Benjamin Streit — Physikalisches Institut, Bonn, Germany

The polarized target group at Bonn operates a dilution refrigerator for double polarization experiments at the Crystal Barrel in Bonn. To get high target polarizations and long relaxation times low temperatures are indispensable. To reach temperatures below 30 mK and to allow for the use of an internal polarization magnet, the polarized target group is building a new continuous mode dilution refrigerator. As a optimizing tool for the construction of dilution refrigerators and for a better understanding of the different incoming and outgoing fluid streams several CFD-simulations are done. First the different streams are simulated independently for different parts of the refrigerator to get a better estimation of the flow parameters. Then the simulation is extended to include the heat exchange between the different streams at the heat exchangers for different operational parameters of the refrigerator. Afterwards the precooling stages of the refrigerator will be tested to compare the predicted and the measured operational parameters.
