Sorption cooling.

Author(s) : BRAKE H. J. M. ter, BURGER J. F., HOLLAND H. J., et al.

Summary

Sorption compressors are basically thermal compressors and have no moving parts. The authors describe the realization of a 165 K demonstrator cooler and the design of a 5 K cooler at ESA's Darwin mission. The demonstrator cooler operates with small stainless steel sorption compressor cells, micromachined check valves and a micromachined Joule-Thomson cold stage. Two sorption cooler configurations for Darwin are presented. Both have a charcoal/helium stage to establish 5 K with a cooling power of 10 mW. One cooler operates with a metal-hydride/hydrogen compressor, the other with a charcoal/hydrogen compressor.
