Theoretical and Experimental Study on the Length-Diameter of the Regenerator in the Low Temperature Section of a 15 K Thermal-Coupled Two-Stage Pulse Tube Cryocooler
To improve the cooling capacity and efficiency of the pulse tube cryocooler and solve the problem of low efficiency of the multi-stage pulse tube cryocooler below the liquid hydrogen temperature area
the regenerator in the low temperature section is optimized in size. First
for the regenerator in the low temperature section of the 15 K two-stage pulse tube cryocooler
the influence of the regenerator size on the internal losses and performance is studied by numerical simulation
and it is obtained that the length-diameter ratio has an optimal value of 3.81. Then two kinds of regenerators with the length-diameter ratio of 3.81 and 6.80 are developed for experimental comparison. Experimental results show that the cryocooler has a better performance at the ratio of 3.81 and can obtain a maximum cooling capacity of 0.91 W at 15 K at 30 Hz. The total input power is 386 W and the rCOP reaches 4.45%. The research provides a reference for the design optimization of a regenerator in the low temperature section of the cryocooler and has guiding significance in improving efficiency of the multi-stage pulse tube cryocooler.
