Design and performance test of a miniature stirling cryocooler

This paper presents the design features and the experimental results from successful operation of a split-Stirling cryocooler developed from a previous model at ICPIAF-SA. The cryocooler was designed to provide 1 W of cooling power at 80 K using no more than 50 W of input power. In this machine the...

Description
Summary:This paper presents the design features and the experimental results from successful operation of a split-Stirling cryocooler developed from a previous model at ICPIAF-SA. The cryocooler was designed to provide 1 W of cooling power at 80 K using no more than 50 W of input power. In this machine the wear debris and leakage have been reduced to low levels by selection of materials and processes. The influence of the cycle speed, average pressure, power consumption on the cooling are discussed. The results show great improvement in comparison with an other previous experimental cryocooler. This report also presents the conclusions, lessons learned and remaining work to be done.
