An overview of Air Force Phillips Laboratory cryocooler programs.

Summary

Phillips Laboratory's cryocooler development programs are generally categorized according to cooling requirement and operating temperature. The paper describes a variety of Stirling, pulse tube, and Brayton cryocoolers currently under development to meet single-stage cooling requirements at 60, 150, 35 K, and multi-stage cooling requirements at 35/60 K. Phillips Laboratory is also developing several advanced cryogenic integration technologies. These technologies include the continued development of the cryogenic systems integration model, 60 and 120 K thermal storage units and heat pipes, cryogenic straps, thermal switches, and development of a Cryogenic Integration Bus.
