Test Report on the Qualification Program for the One-Quarter (1/4) Watt Split Stirling Common Module Cryogenic Cooler.

Abstract

This report describes the tests performed and the results obtained from conducting a qualification program designed for a 1/4 Watt Split Stirling Cryogenic Cooler. Qualification testing included evaluation of the 1/4 Watt Cryogenic Cooler under the following test conditions: low, room and high ambient temperature test (-40C, +23C, +71C); temperature shock testing (-54C, + 71C); mechanical vibration testing; mechanical shock testing; audible noise testing; reliability demonstration testing. The cryogenic cooler design consisted of a motor/compressor assembly, interconnecting stainless steel capilliary tubing, and a remote expander assembly. Nominal operating voltage applied to the units was 17.5 VDC with a maximum input power of 35 watts. The cryogenic cooler assembly did not exceed the maximum weight limit of 2.5 pounds.
