MM&T for Linear Resonant Cooler. Volume 1

Abstract

The three-fold objectives of this contract were to: 1) enhance the producibility and performance of the prototype cooler design developed in a prior contract, b) qualify the design to the target specification in the contract (basically the HD1045/UA B2 specification amended for 2,500 hour MTTF and low audible noise), and c) develop and demonstrate a pilot production facility for the cooler. Technical difficulties and cost growth related to objectives a) and b) above precluded accomplishing c) as part of this contract's activities. Nevertheless, performance within or exceeding all major requirements has been demonstrated, and the company is currently producing the cooler for use on a U.S. Air Force airborne IR system.
