Comparison of Three Methods for Oscillating Flow Measurements in Cryocoolers

October 16, 2024
Author(s)
Ryan Snodgrass, Vincent Kotsubo, Joel Ullom
Measurement of oscillating mass flows is typically required for the study of cryocoolers and cryocooler compressors. Although many measurement techniques are used in the cryocooler literature, detailed comparisons are lacking, so it can be challenging for

Dynamic acoustic optimization of pulse tube refrigerators for rapid cooldown

April 23, 2024
Author(s)
Ryan Snodgrass, Vincent Kotsubo, Scott Backhaus, Joel Ullom
Pulse tube refrigerators are a critical enabling technology for many disciplines that require low temperatures. These refrigerators dominate the total power consumption of most modern cryostats, including those that reach millikelvin temperatures using

Role of Non-Temperature-Gradient Power Flow Terms in Low-Temperature Regenerators

December 1, 2022
Author(s)
Ryan Snodgrass, Joel Ullom, Scott Backhaus
The total power flow through cryocooler regenerators is key to their performance because it reduces the cooling available at the cold heat exchanger. At temperatures near 4 K, the real-fluid properties of helium and the finite-heat-capacity of regenerator
