Author(s) : MESSAROS M. C., VERSTRAETE J. L.

Summary

The paper presents recent developments in the design, manufacture and testing of an oil-lubricated, four-stage reciprocating nitrogen compressor for use in a space-borne Joule-Thomson cryocooler system. An overview of the system application and a discussion of compressor performance specifications, design description, vibration control, zero-g oil management system operation and compressor reliability are included.
