Survey of the State-of-the-Art of Miniature Cryocoolers for Superconductive Devices

Abstract

This document presents the results of a survey of the state-of-the- art as applied to cryocoolers to cool small superconducting devices. The survey included visits to over 100 facilities involved in the production or development of small cryocoolers in the United States, Japan, Europe. Specifications of commercially available cryocoolers having capacities of one of five watts in the 80 to 4 K range are presented. The survey was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. Keywords include: Cryocoolers; Refrigeration; Superconducting devices.
