Résumé

Regenerative cryocoolers that employ 4He as working fluid can only reach a lowest temperature of about 2 K. This limitation can be overcome by the use of 3He as working fluid. The authors report on the performance of a two-stage pulse tube cooler that consists of two parallel stages with independent gas circuits. The pressure oscillation in each stage is generated by means of a separate compressor in combination with a rotary valve. Using 3He as the working fluid in the 2nd stage, a minimum stationary temperature of 1.27 K has been achieved, which is, up to now, the lowest temperature obtained by regenerative cryocoolers. At an electrical input power of 1.3 kW, the 2nd stage provides a cooling power of 42 mW at 2.0 K and 518 mW at 4.2 K.
