Summary

With the development of high-strength NdFeB magnetic material, moving magnet linear compressors have been gradually introduced in the fields of refrigeration and cryogenic engineering, especially in Stirling and pulse tube cryocoolers. This paper presents simulation and experimental investigations on the static and dynamic characteristics of a moving magnet linear motor and a moving magnet linear compressor. Both equivalent magnetic circuits and finite element approaches have been used to model the moving magnet linear motor. Subsequently, the force and equilibrium characteristics of the linear motor have been predicted and verified by detailed static experimental analyses. In combination with a harmonic analysis, experimental investigations were conducted on a prototype of a moving magnet linear compressor. A voltage-stroke relationship, the effect of charging pressure on the performance and dynamic frequency response characteristics are investigated. Finally, the method to identify optimal points of the linear compressor has been described, which is indispensable to the design and operation of moving magnet linear compressors.
