Rare-earth regenerator material particles, and group of rare-earth regenerator material particles, refrigerator and measuring apparatus using the same, and method for manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing a refrigerator for accumulating an extremely low temperature cold, comprising the steps of:
- providing a vacuum chamber;
providing an external cylinder so as to be disposed in the vacuum chamber, the external cylinder enclosing an inner space;
providing at least one regenerator container for accumulating cold which is arranged at the inner space inside of the external cylinder;
installing a seal ring between the external cylinder and the regenerator container;
forming an expanding chamber between the external cylinder and the regenerator container;
combining a compressor for compressing a cooling medium gas; and
packing a group of regenerator material particles in the regenerator container;
wherein the group of regenerator material particles have an average particle size of 0.045 to 3 mm,wherein a proportion of particles having a ratio of a long diameter to a short diameter of 2 or less is 90% or more by number, a proportion of particles having a depressed portion having a length of 1/10 to ½
of a particle circumferential length of a particle on a particle surface is 30% or more by number and wherein the depressed portion has depth of 1/10 or less of a particle diameter.

Abstract
Provided is a group of rare-earth regenerator material particles having an average particle size of 0.01 to 3 mm, wherein the proportion of particles having a ratio of a long diameter to a short diameter of 2 or less is 90% or more by number, and the proportion of particles having a depressed portion having a length of 1/10 to ½ of a circumferential length on a particle surface is 30% or more by number. By forming the depressed portion on the surface of the regenerator material particles, it is possible to increase permeability of an operating medium gas and a contact surface area with the operating medium gas.
