Above is a cooldown curve for a configuration of LH horizontal dilution refrigerator measurement system measured with a calibrated resistance thermometer.

Pulse Pre-Cooling sequence is one of the key points in reducing the cooldown time (see spots 2 and 3). Because we do not use exchange gas some parts of the dilution refrigerator unit stay ‘hot’ on cooldown, which prevents condensation of the helium3 –helium-4 mixture. To cool down these hot spots effectively, the mixture is repeatedly admitted from the tanks to the Still side of the dilution refrigerator to operate as an exchange gas and then pumped out again.
