Author(s) : RAWLINS W., RADEBAUGH R.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE PAPER DISCUSSES THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF AN APPARATUS TO MEASURE THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF REGENERATORS USED FOR PULSE TUBE REFRIGERATORS. THE APPARATUS DESCRIBED HERE ALLOWS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF THE REGENERATOR'S HEAT LOSS UNDER ACTUAL OPERATING CONDITIONS IN A PULSE TUBE REFRIGERATOR. A LOW TEMPERATURE HEAT SINK OF LIQUID NITROGEN IS USED SINCE IT APPROXIMATES THE TEMPERATURES NORMALLY ACHIEVED IN A ONE-STAGE PULSE TUBE.
