To overcome the shortcomings of the traditional thermocompressors
a new-type thermocompressor system is proposed
where a linear motor is designed as power source
and the cylinder wall and piston serve as a regenerator. The effects of heating temperature
linear motor driving power
working fluid and inflation pressure on the operating characteristics of the new thermocompressor system were investigated experimentally. The results indicate that the working fluid with larger heat capacity ratio facilitates improving the performance of the compressor system. The peak-peak pressure in the system can be heightened by increasing inflation pressure
but the effect is not obvious. Taking He4 as working fluid
when the inflation pressure is 0.96 MPa and the heating temperature is 330 ℃
the pressure ratio of the new hot compressor system is 1.14
which can meet the specific requirement for the pulse tube refrigerator. The experimental research on the output power of the new thermocompressor system is carried out by the gas reservoir with a small orifice. It is found that the thermocompressor system is endowed with a maximum external capacity corresponding to the optimum opening of the orifice. With the same working fluid and inflation pressure
when the heating temperature is 603 ℃ and the gas reservoir volume is 0.518 L
the output power of the thermocompressor reaches the maximum value of 15.6 W.
