Abstract Several different configurations of mixed gas refrigerators are described in the literature. The mixed gas Joule Thomson cooler (JT, also known as mixed gas throttle cooler) and the Auto-Refrigerating Cascade (ARC, also known as one-flow cascade, mixed refrigerant cascade, or Kleemenko refrigerator) are the most known. The main advantage of the mixed gas JT system is its simplicity; the benefit of the ARC is better oil management, and consequently higher reliability at temperatures below 100 K. The goal of the present work was to obtain a deeper insight into the behavior of the ARC system with a single separator. The efficiency of this system is investigated and compared with the efficiency of the JT-cycle. Calculations for cycles with nitrogen-hydrocarbon mixtures for cooling temperatures in the 80-100 K range are presented and discussed.
