Stirling pulse tube cryocoolers for space science missions

Abstract:

Cryocoolers are compact and effective devices that provide cooling to cryogenic temperature. They serve to reduce thermal noise on focal plane assemblies in space telescopes, cool down superconducting devices, and present many other applications for a wide range of technologies. A Stirling cryocooler operates by running the Stirling refrigeration cycle and reaches high efficiencies. They have an established spaceflight heritage, and in the case of the Oxford-style cryocooler, they employ f...
