Abstract Mixed gas refrigeration cycles with phase separators provide a wealth of configuration options for the design of the cycle. This paper focuses on the development of the cycle with a simplified dephlegmation separator. Both theoretical analysis and experimental investigation were carried out to optimize the refrigeration cycle configuration, including the arrangement of the heat exchangers, phase separator, mixer, etc. Particular attention is placed on the position of the mixer. Experimental results confirm the conclusions drawn from the thermodynamic analysis of the configuration of the dephlegmation cycle. A Carnot efficiency of 11.7% was achieved in an experimental test at 125 K with the cycle driven by an air-conditioning compressor with a nominal input power of 1.1 kW.
