✦ Synopsis

Cooling to temperatures in the millikelvin range could be beneficial as a means of reducing noise and increasing sensitivity of instruments in certain experiments and measurements that are being considered for future space missions. The possibility of using a He 3 -He 4 dilution refrigerator for that purpose is explored in this paper. Calculations reported here indicate that electrostriction can be substituted for gravity as a practical means of achieving phase separation with well-defined interfaces in mixing chambers of dilution refrigerators operating aboard spacecraft.

A 3He/4He dilution refrigerator is described where the instreaming 3He is precooled and liquefied by a counterflow heat exchanger which makes use of the enthalpy of the cold 3He gas pumped out of the still, and by subsequent Joule-Thomson expansion. This condenser replaces the usual 4He condenser.
