Summary

THE PERFORMANCE OF PULSE TUBE COOLERS IS BEING STUDIED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THEIR SUITABILITY FOR DEVELOPMENT INTO LONG-LIFE SPACE COOLERS. THEY APPEAR TO BE ATTRACTIVEFOR THIS, GIVEN THEIR INHERENT SIMPLICITY. SINGLE-STAGE AND TWO-STAGE PULSE TUBE TEST COOLERS WERE DESIGNED AND TESTED. A SINGLE-STAGE COOLER ACHIEVED A LOW TEMPERATURE OF 53 K WHILE REJECTING HEAT ABOVE 300 K. AN UNOPTIMIZED TWO-STAGE COOLER REACHED 26 K WHILE REJECTING HEAT ABOVE 300 K. PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS FOR THE COOLERS ARE PRESENTED.
