Summary

The concept of a new type of pulse tube refrigerator, termed pulse tube refrigerator with low temperature switching valve, is proposed. It is suitable for industrial applications that require larger refrigeration powers. In this kind of pulse tube refrigerator a recuperative heat exchanger instead of a regenerator is used and a switching valve is installed at the cold end of an orifice pulse tube. Adiabatic efficiencies higher than 40% have been achieved in the preliminary experiments. Methods for increasing the adiabatic efficiency are discussed.
