The development and application of cryocoolers since 1985.

Author(s) : RADEBAUGH R.

Summary

Many significant new developments in cryocoolers have occurred since about 1985 and have led to greatly improved efficiencies, lifetimes, compactness, and low temperature limits. Many of the improvements have been spurred by the requirements of several new important applications, such as the cooling of high-temperature superconductors for both electronic and power applications, satellite applications of infrared sensors, cooling superconducting magnets in MRI systems, cryosurgery, and small-scale gas liquefaction for medical, industrial and space applications. New developments in various types of cryocoolers are reviewed to show how they have led to improved characteristics to meet the demands of several new applications.
