Development of two-stage small Stirling cycle cooler for temperatures below 20 K.

Summary

The prototype cooler has a two-stage displacer driven by a linear motor in a cold head. The working gas, helium, is compressed by a compressor with dual opposed pistons. The typical cooling power is about 169 milliwatts at 20 K and the lowest temperature achieved is 12.6 K. The input power to the compressor is 82 watts. The paper reports the results from preliminary tests of the prototype cooler.
