Pulse Tube Refrigerator

Abstract

Presented are the very significant results of having a single stage pulse tube cool to 140 deg F below room temperature and a two-stage unit cool to 206 deg F below room temperature. The basic concepts of the pulse tube operation have been shown to be valid and studies of operational effects are continually improving its performance. This report contains three of these studies, a description of the pulse tubes that have been built and tested, and test results.
