Reduced Voltage and Restart Testing of the 1-Watt Integral Cryogenic Cooler (HD-1033B/C/D)

Abstract

This final report describes and provides the data on the reduced voltage (108 VAC) and restart testing of the 1-Watt Integral Stirling Cooler. the 1-Watt Integral Cooler (HD-1033B/C/D) is currently used in the M1 FLIR, M60 FLIR, and the Advanced Attack Helicopter FLIR. The cooler specification requires that the cooler operate from 115 to 119 VAC. Because of the potential of lower voltage operation in some systems, C2NVEO evaluated the cooler performance and restartability at environmental extremes with 108 VAC. The coolers successfully passed all testing at all environmental conditions using both voltages.
