Thermoacoustic refrigeration for ice cream sales.

Author(s) : POESE M. E., SMITH R. W. M., GARRETT S. L., et al.

Summary

The prototype thermoacoustic refrigerator as described in this publication meets prescribed specifications of efficiency and size. The prototype is therefore able to maintain ice cream at the proper serving temperature in a standard 200-litre sales/storage cabinet. As a result of good agreement between measurable quantities and a computer simulation of the performance of the prototype, the model can be mined for the details of the performance of each subsystem. This analysis results in a clear vision for further improvement of the prototype's performance. Along with gains in efficiency and size, new regenerators and flexure seals should be created that are cheaper than the screens and metal bellows used today.
