Effect of the inertance tube on the performance of the Stirling type pulse tube refrigerator

The Pulse Tube Refrigerator(PTR), which has no moving parts at its cold section, is attractive for obtaining higher reliability, simpler construction and lower vibration than in any other small cryocoolers. Commonly used mean to achieve optimum performance of the PTR are orifice or inertance tube. The Stirling type Pulse Tube Refrigerator in the experiments consists of a compressor driven by linear motors, which make pressure waves, a regenerator, a pulse tube with inertance tube, and a buffer. The pressures and temperature are measured to explore the dependency of inertance tube on the performance of the PTR. The results show the dependency of cool-down characteristics, no-load temperature on frequency of operation and inertance tube
