Summary

The analysis is based on a four-step cycle: adiabatic compression of the gas in the pulse tube; isobaric heat transfer from the gas to the wall of the pulse tube; adiabatic expansion of the gas in the pulse tube; and isobaric heat transfer from the wall of the pulse tube to the gas. The addition of the regenerator is found to yield significant improvements in the heat removed per cycle, the COP and the refrigeration efficiency. Detailed results for these quantities are presented as a function of the temperature ratio of the heat exchangers.
