In order to develop a method for producing at least approximately ball-shaped metallic particles at least almost equal in diameter such that a greater yield of particles at least almost equal in diameter is achieved than in known methods, it is suggested that a continuous stream of liquid metal is acted on locally by compressional vibrations that thereby cross-sectional constrictions are formed in the stream at a distance from each other in longitudinal direction of the stream which lead to the dissection of the stream and that the segments of the dissected stream adopting a ball shape due to the surface tension of the liquid metal are cooled to solidify the liquid metal.

Method for producing small metal balls approximately equal in diameter

A method for removing heat from a refrigeration load in a cyclically operating Gifford-McMahon refrigeration apparatus, with which in each cycle a compressed cooling gas from a high-pressure inlet is brought into heat contact with a regenerator cooled during the previous cycle and thereby cooled, the cooling gas is subsequently conveyed to a storage volume via the refrigeration load, the cooling gas is then expanded after closure of the high-pressure inlet by opening a low-pressure outlet and thereby cooled, and the cooling gas is partially conveyed by means of a displacer piston from the storage volume to the low-pressure outlet via the refrigeration load and the regenerator, refrigeration capacity hereby being transferred to the refrigeration load and the regenerator hereby being cooled.
