Summary

Within a pulse tube refrigerator (PTR) in coaxial configuration the pulse tube is located inside the regenerator matrix in axial direction. An internal thermal contact between these two main components of the coldfinger occurs. The experimental investigation of the direction and the quantity of transferred heat is in focus of this paper. Intermediate cooling of the regenerator by the corresponding part of its own pulse tube can improve the cooling performance of a PTR. Therefore, a well-adapted geometrical arrangement between the pulse tube and the regenerator is essential, considering the temperature distribution inside the coldfinger. We deduce design parameters to optimise the configuration of coaxial PTRs. [Reprinted with permission from Elsevier. Copyright, 2006].
