A comparative analysis of refrigeration cycles for supporting actual loads at temperatures around 28–30 K is presented. Within this temperature range, such cryoagents as Ne, He, H2, D2 and Ne-He mixture can be used. Refrigeration cycle simulations using various cryoagents were performed using the Aspen HYSYS V8.8 software package.
