An experimental study on the refrigeration capacity and thermal performance of free piston Stirling coolers.

Author(s) : OGUZ E., OZKADI F.

Summary

The refrigeration capacity and thermal performance characteristics of two prototype free piston Stirling coolers were investigated experimentally. Thermal load was applied to the cold head of the Stirling cooler by two resistance heaters in a so-called adiabatix box, and steady-state characteristics of the coolers were evaluated. For a certain input voltage, different tests were carried out to determine the variation of the performance with the cold head temperature, hence the cold head temperature of the coolers varied from -40 to 0 °C.
