Improving the performance of small Joule–Thomson cryocooler

This paper presents a new cycle for improving the performance of small Joule–Thomson (JT) cryocooler by applying an additional ejector in cycle system. Based on the presented JT cycle with an additional ejector (JTE), the performance of small JT cryocooler operating with pure N₂ and the mixture N₂?CH₄ for cryogenic applications in a temperature range of 80–130 K is investigated by theoretical calculations. It can be found that the refrigeration efficiency of the JTE cryocooler operating with pure N₂ increase by 55.6–25.1%, and the refrigeration capacity increase by a factor of 4.9–1.5 compared to a conventional JT cryocooler. Similar performance improvements are also obtained when the mixture N₂?CH₄ is used as the working gas. The refrigeration efficiency increase by 46.6–17.7% and the refrigeration capacity increase by a factor of 3.8–1.3. It is concluded that the performance of small JT cryocooler can be significantly improved based on the presented JTE cycle.     

A high efficiency coaxial pulse tube cryocooler operating at 60 K

In recent years, improved efficiency of pulse tube cryocoolers has been required by some space infrared detectors and special military applications. Based on this, a high efficiency single-stage coaxial pulse tube cryocooler which operates at 60 K is introduced in this paper. The cryocooler is numerically designed using SAGE, and details of the analysis are presented. The performance of the cryocooler at different input powers ranging from 100 W to 200 W is experimentally tested. Experimental results show that this cryocooler typically provides a cooling power of 7.7 W at 60 K with an input power of 200 W, and achieves a relative Carnot efficiency of around 15%. When the cooling power is around 6 W, the cryocooler achieves the best relative Carnot efficiency of around 15.9% at 60 K, which is the highest efficiency ever reported for a coaxial pulse tube cryocooler.     

A single-stage GM-type pulse tube cryocooler operating at 10.6 K

In order to explore the lowest attainable refrigeration temperature and improve cooling performance at temperatures around 20 K for a single-stage G-M type pulse tube cryocooler (PTC), numerical and experimental studies were performed. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) numerical model known as REGEN was applied to the simulation of a G-M type PTC for the first time. Based on the calculation results, a single-stage G-M type PTC was designed, fabricated and tested. The performance improvement of the regenerator in the temperature range of 10-80 K was investigated. The calculations predicted a lowest temperature of 10 K. A lowest temperature of 10.6 K was achieved experimentally with an input power of 7.5 kW, which is the lowest temperature ever achieved by a single-stage PTC. Further more, the cryocooler can provide a cooling power of 20 W at 20.6 K and 39.5 W at 30 K, respectively.     

Experimental study of a cascade pulse tube cryocooler with a displacer

Recovering the expansion power in pulse tube cryocooler is of great utility in improving cooling efficiency. Using a second-stage cooler after a primary cooler to produce extra cooling power is an effective way especially when the cooling temperature is not very low. In the configuration, the two coolers are connected by a displacer which is used as a phase shifter. In this paper, experimental investigations were conducted to study this system. Firstly, the performance of the overall system and separated cooler was respectively presented. To better understand the displacer, phase relation, mechanical resistance and displacement were then clarified. In addition, the power consumption distribution of the cascade cryocooler was discussed. Finally, both numerical and experimental comparisons were made on the displacer-type and tube-type cryocooler. The experimental results show that the displacer-type cryocooler has superior performance due to the better phase-modulation capability and less power loss. With the input electric power of 1.9 kW and cooling temperature of 130 K, the overall system achieved a cooling power of 371 W and a relative Carnot efficiency of 24.5%.
