Summary

Thesis submitted to the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Science. The influences of a variety of important parameters on the cold end temperature and the net cooling power at 100 K have been intensively investigated. A lowest temperature of 28 K and 16 watts of net cooling power at 80 K have been achieved with a double inlet pulse tube refrigerator. Real-time measurements of the pressures in the gas temperatures have been performed. The compression power and the efficiency of a pulse tube refrigerator with a directly coupled pressure oscillator have also been measured. Extract of contents: generalities on pulse tube refrigeration; theoretical model; experimental verification. An analysis on the thickness of the thermal viscous layer and photographes of the experimental apparatus are given in the appendices. During the Hague Congress of the IIR, August 19-25, 1995, the author was awarded the IIR Peter Kapitza Prize to young researchers for this work.
