Summary

WITH THE STRINGENT REQUIREMENT FROM THE USER COMMUNITY FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION MULTICHANNEL DETECTORS WHICH GENERATE MUCH HEAT A FUTURE SPACE-BORNE INFRARED RADIOMETER ON AN EARTH OBSERVATION SATELLITE MUST INCORPORATE A SMALL CLOSED CYCLE REFRIGERATOR INSTEAD OF THE PASSIVE RADIATOR WHICH HAS BEEN USED FOR REJECTING HEAT FROM SMALL SIZE DETECTORS OF SATELLITE RADIOMETERS IN THE PAST. THE VUILLEUMIER COOLER IS A HEAT ENGINE WHICH USES HEAT ENERGY RATHER THAN MECHANICAL ENERGY TO CYCLICALLY PRESSURIZE THE WORKING GAS. THE PAPER FIRST DESCRIBES THE SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR THE MACHINE, AND THEN THE DETAILS OF DESIGN AND THE TEST RESULTS.
