Cryogen-free practical and affordable coolers operating below 20mK would be a very significant step forward, if not a breakthrough, for cryogenic research. This project will enable the commercial production of such coolers by combining the Mullard Space Science Laboratory's proven ADR expertise and the cryogenic engineering excellence of Scientific Magnetics. We propose to develop for the first time a cryogen frees Adiabatic Demagnetisation Refrigerator to reach temperatures in the region of 10 mK. In addition by adapting the Scientific Magnetics sample interchange mechanism to operate with the ADR we will develop the means to changing the cold test sample without the need to return the whole system to room temperature. These developments will be achieved by using our knowledge and experience of ADR manufacture, based on demonstrated, accurate and detailed modelling, and Scientific Magnets 9 Tesla cryogen free magnet system and 1.5 K sample interchange mechanism developed for the Diamond light source. This project will see the enhancement of Scientific Magnetics' cryogenic engineering capability through the transfer of key and novel technology from MSSL's ADR programme which has been built up over the last 15 years. As a result of this transfer a new milli-kelvin tool for research will be created and marketed by Scientific Magnetics.

在20 mK以下运行的无低温实用且经济实惠的冷却器将是低温研究的一个非常重要的进步，如果不是突破的话。该项目将通过结合穆拉德空间科学实验室久经考验的ADR专业知识和Scientific Magnetics的低温工程卓越性，实现此类冷却器的商业生产。我们建议首次开发一种无制冷剂绝热退磁制冷机，以达到10 mK的温度。此外，通过调整Scientific Magnetics的样品交换机制，使其与ADR一起运行，我们将开发更换冷测试样品的方法，而无需将整个系统恢复到室温。这些发展将通过使用我们的知识和经验的ADR制造，基于证明，准确和详细的建模，科学磁铁9特斯拉无致冷剂磁铁系统和1.5 K样品交换机制开发的钻石光源。该项目将通过转移MSSL在过去15年中建立的ADR计划的关键和新技术来提高Scientific Magnetics的低温工程能力。由于这项转让，Scientific Magnetics将创建和销售一种新的毫开尔文研究工具。
