Summary

Miniature cryogenic coolers operating on the reversed Stirling cycle are used for cooling the detectors of thermal imaging systems. This paper makes a start by breaking with the tradition of arbitrary linearisation of the defining equations, and by integrating the characteristics of the electromagnetic drive circuit with simultaneous computation of the dynamic, thermodynamic and fluid flow processes. A specific cooler is defined and simulated performance points adduced in evidence of correct functioning of the computations.
