The design and testing of a Stirling cycle domestic freezer.

Summary

A domestic freezer has been built and tested using a Stirling cycle cooler. The cooler is powered by a linear motor and features clearance seals and disk spring suspension. Heat is transferred to and from the Stirling cooler by means of thermosiphons. Minimum energy savings of 12% over the conventional unit have been demonstrated, and the capacity of the cooling unit can be efficiently controlled to match the cooling demand.
