Abstract Adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators have been built and installed in small portable liquid helium cryostats to test the feasibility of this method of cooling infrared bolometric detectors to temperatures below 0.3K. Performance has been achieved which suggests that bolometer temperatures of 0.2K can be maintained for periods of ∼60 hours. Applications to sensitive infrared detection from ground based telescopes and space satellites are discussed. Design data are given which permit the evaluation of refrigerator performance for a variety of design parameters.
