Abstract

The experimental results of the 17K inertance tube pulse tube cryocooler for cooling cryosensors are presented in this paper. In prototype experiments, linear compressor is driven by linear motor, and inertance tubes are inserted between one liter reservoir and pulse tube. Design of the inertance tube pulse tube cryo-cooler is conducted by ARCOPTR program of NASA Ames Research Center. To find optimal conditions of inertance tube pulse tube cryocooler, no load temperature and refrigeration capacity according to the variations of inertance tube volume, reservoir volume and charging pressure are measured. and the cool down and load characteristics at the particular conditions are presented. As the representative results, no load temperature of the cold end is 52.7K and refrigeration capacity is 5W at 72K..
