50-80 K pulse tube cryocooler development.

Author(s) : DUBAND L., RAVEX A., BRADSHAW T., ORLOWSKA A., JEWELL C., JONES B.

Summary

Pulse tube coolers are very similar to Stirling coolers but they do not require any moving displacer in the cold finger and consequently no motorization, no synchronisation electronics, no bearings and clearance seals. In the framework of an ESA contract the authors are developing for space purposes a pulse tube cryocooler associated with a diaphragm springs oscillator. An improved version of the oscillator has been developed by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Preliminary prototypes of the pulse tube cooler have been designed and manufactured, and are presently being characterised.
