This produced a cooler with no moving parts (4th Interagency Meeting on Cryocoolers, 1990). The most important development has been the discovery of the double inlet Pulse Tube by Dr. Zh of Xi'an Jiaotong University, China (13th International Cryogenic Engineering Conference, 1990).

Sarangi, CFD simulation of a GiffordMcMahon type pulse tube refrigerator, International Journal of Thermal Sciences, vol. This direct flow compresses and expands the warm working gas in the pulse tube, and reduces the amount of gas that needs to be pre-cooled by the regenerator. In this clever way it is avoided that the heat, released at the hot end of the second tube, is a load on the first stage. At the moment of entering the tube it has the temperature TH. Pulses from the pulse generator cause reciprocation of the expander displacer to in turn cause refrigeration and cooldown thereof. A single-stage pulse tube cryocooler was optimized to provide 50 W of net refrigeration power at 50 K when driven by a pressure oscillator that can produce up to 2.8 kW of acoustic power at 60 Hz.

Furthermore, there are no mechanical vibrations and no electro-magnetic interferences. [1] Its basic components are regenerator, pulse tube, pressure wave generator, and two heat exchangers as shown in Fig. A single-stage pulse tube cryocooler was optimized to provide 50 W of net refrigeration power at 50 K when driven by a pressure oscillator that can produce up to 2.8 kW of acoustic power at 60 Hz. Liquefaction of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, helium, natural gas, Cooling of infrared sensors for missile guidance, Cooling of high temperature superconductors and semiconductors, Gamma ray sensors for monitoring nuclear activity. The biggest industrial effort was at TRW. I. and the compressor power P. In formula: The rapid cooling technique makes use of a resonant phenomenon in the inertance tube and reservoir system to decrease the flow impedance and thereby increase the acoustic power and refrigeration power in the system when the cold end is near room temperature. The pressure varies gradually and the velocities of the gas are low. A compressor with input power of 4 kW and a rotary valve are used to generate the pressure oscillations. These cryocoolers are hermetically sealed. Gu, The experimental investigation of a pulse tube refrigerator with a L type pulse tube and two orifice valves, Cryogenics, vol. Heat exchangers are made of copper and the regenerator made by stainless steel. After the acoustic power of the gas from the compressor is delivered to the cold head, the refrigeration is produced by gas expansion in the pulse tube. After fine tuning of the valves, a minimum average temperature of 1.78 K was obtained. [12] developed both dynamic and ideal models for better understanding of the energy and entropy. Regenerative material GdAlO3 can be use to achieve less than 5K temperature for 2 stage pulse tube refrigerator. Well-known coolers such as the Stirling engine coolers and the popular Gifford-McMahon coolers have a displacer that ensures that the cooling (due to expansion) takes place in a different region of the machine than the heating (due to compression). Top 5 Methods of Refrigeration (Natural and Artificial Methods of Refrigeration)! In those cases, the double-inlet valve can assist better impedance and further improve the cooling performance. And Radebaugh et. After further studies and modify the dimensions, they were able to achieve a low temperature of 124 K at one end when the closed end, in the atmosphere was cooled with water. PTRs for temperatures below 20 K usually operate at frequencies of 1 to 2 Hz and with pressure variations from 10 to 25 bar. This technique was further refined into the multiple by-pass Pulse Tube by Dr. Zhou of the Academia Sinica, China (7th International Cryocooler Conference, 1992). 6 7. Fig 1. Xu, A.T.A.M. ˙ 609-616, 2012, Pravin Mane, Ashutosh Dasare, Ganesh Deshmukh, Pratik Bhuyar, Kshiteej Deshmukh, Aditya Barve, numerical analysis of pulse tube cryocoolers, international journal of innovative research in science, engineering and technology, vol. Zhu, Wu and Chen addressed this problem by adding a direct connection, or secondary orifice, between the warm end of the regenerator and the warm end of the pulse tube [6]. Figure 1 shows the experimental setup with the pulse tube in the neck of a dewar. The modern PTR was invented by Mikulin by introducing orifice in Basic pulse tube in 1984. The effects of frequency of operation and taper angle on the temperature distribution, time-averaged enthalpy flow, and heat transfer behavior during a cycle are investigated. is given by Carnot's theorem : However, a pulse-tube refrigerator is not perfectly reversible due to the presence of the orifice, which has flow resistance. 47, pp. ˙ 40, pp. Choudhury, R.K. Sahoo ,S.K. Literature Review • Pulse tube refrigerator units operate as closed systems where no mass is exchanged between the Cryocooler and the environment.

The closed end is the hot end which capped with a heat exchanger that cools it to the ambient temperature with the help of water. This is known as double inlet pulse tube refrigerator (Fig. On the other hand, the inertance tube can provide the optimum impedance for large cooling powered pulse tube refrigerators. For some time it looked as if it would be impossible to cool below the lambda point of 4He (2.17 K), but the Low-Temperature group of the Eindhoven University of Technology managed to cool to a temperature of 1.73 K by replacing the usual 4He as refrigerant by its rare isotope 3He. The coolers were driven by a simple loudspeaker; while the engines had no moving parts except working fluid. [1] Pulse tubes are also being developed for cooling of astronomical detectors where liquid cryogens are typically used, such as the Atacama Cosmology Telescope[2] or the Qubic experiment[3] (an interferometer for cosmology studies). discovered basic pulse tube refrigerator they got 150 K in a one stage cooler and 120 K in a two stage. al. . However, below about 80 K the coefficient of performance is comparable with other coolers (compare equations (1) and (2)) and in the low-temperature region the advantages get the upper hand. PTRs can be classified according to their shape. 1. In that case the PTR can be constructed in a coaxial way so that the regenerator becomes a ring-shaped space surrounding the tube. The power input to the PWG and cryocooler can be scaled according to the refrigeration need, as opposed traditional refrigeration where capacity control is achieved by on-off operation. At the cold end of the tube, the gas enters the tube via X2 when the pressure is high with temperature TL and return when the pressure is low with a temperature below TL, hence taking up heat from X2 : this gives the desired cooling effect at X2. 6 7. Phase difference in mass flow rate and pressure in Inertance tube type refrigerator can affect on refrigeration effect pravin mane et. In the tube the gas is thermally isolated (adiabatic), so the temperature of the gas in the tube varies with the pressure. Keywords Pulse tube refrigerato; Basic pulse tube refrigerator; Orifice pulse tube refrigerator; Double inlet pulse tube refrigerator; Inertance tube pulse tube refrigerator. Figure 1 represents the Stirling-type single-orifice Pulse-Tube Refrigerator (PTR), which is filled with a gas, typically helium at a pressure varying from 10 to 30 bar. Replacing 4He by 3He, at the same valve settings and operating parameters, the minimum average temperature goes down to 1.87 K and the cooling power at 4.2 K is enhanced about 60%. This is the most common shape of PTRs. In the heat exchanger X3, it releases heat and cools down to the ambient temperature TH.[6]. The displacer can be passively driven, and this recovers work that would otherwise be dissipated in the orifice. 643-647, 2006, Taekyung Ki, Sangkwon Jeong, Design and analysis of compct work recovery phase shifter for pulse tube refrigerator, cryogenics, vol. This pulse tube refrigerator without an orifice is now referred to as the basic pulse tube refrigerator. To utilize the refrigeration effect, a suitable housing (not shown) would be placed to contain the environment being cooled. The main advantages are greater reliability and lower cost compared to the Stirling cooler and an order of magnitude lower mass, lower cost, and longer life than the current state of the art coolers: stored cryogens. A. D. Badgujar and M. D. Atrey [15] conclude that increase in L/D ratio 1.93 to 9 will decrease cooling effect 6.1 W to 1.7 W. Their theoretical results are verified with experimental data. [18] they did three different simulations are analyzed. Meanwhile; Dr. G. Swift at Los Alamos with DoE funds had continued developing the thermo-acoustic compressor. Dr. J. Wheatley at the DOE's Los Alamos National Laboratory took interest in this kind of technology: thermo- acoustic engines and coolers. To find out the best regenerator material porosity, They set operating frequency for all case is 34 Hz, pulse tube diameter 5mm and length is 125mm for changing porosity of material. Current work at Ames also includes the fabrication of a 4-stage Pulse Tube based on the multiple by- pass approach. / After analysis they found that by opening double inlet valve 20% and orifice valve 30% offers a better potential for higher performance and efficiency compared with other values of valve openings. So the name "pulse" tube cooler is misleading, since there are no pulses in the system. Unlike ordinary refrigeration cycles which utilize the vapor compression cycle, a PTR implements the oscillatory compression and expansion of gas within a closed volume to achieve the desired refrigeration. By the late 1980's many laboratories around the world had started Pulse Tube development. The extra gas, even though it provides no refrigeration power, but it must be cooled by the regenerator which increases the heat transfer load but does not work and therefore limits refrigeration. 4). Raoult’s law. 31, pp. impedance of one pulse tube cold head will affect compressor impedance and pressure, mass flow rate and the phase between them in the other pulse tube cold head. For getting the cooling, the source of the pressure variations is unimportant. On its return the heat stored within the regenerator is transferred back into the gas. Due to its clever design the PTR does not have such a displacer. As a consequence its temperature will be higher than TH. al further improved the design, by arranging the orifice outside the heat exchanger and added a reservoir after the orifice. THERMODYNAMIC MODELING OF A PULSE TUBE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM P. C. Roy1,*, 1B. In contrast with other cryocoolers (e.g. [17] did numerical analysis of oscillation flow in cfd software of inline Inertance tube refrigerator they use helium as working medium and frequency 12Hz. (a) the standard unit used in refrigeration problems (b) the cooling effect produced by melting 1 ton of ice (c) the refrigeration effect to freeze 1 ton of water at 0°C into ice at 0°C in 24 hours (d) the refrigeration effect to produce 1 ton of ice at NTP conditions (e) the refrigeration effect to produce 1 ton of ice in 1 hour time. Coating inside the pulse tube also gives better refrigeration effect. It is due to addition of small orifice causes improve in phase between velocity and temperature as a result more enthalpy flow near hot heat exchanger. The lowest temperature, reached with single-stage PTRs, is just above 10 K.[15] However, one PTR can be used to precool the other. The reservoir is large enough to be maintained at nearly constant intermediate pressure during experiment. NASA Ames has been developing a 2-D model that incorporates both thermodynamics and hydrodynamics. In this type of PTR the orifice valve is replaced by a long inertance tube having very small internal diameter and adds reactive impedance to the system. The existence of these secondary flows has been confirmed by flow measurements made at NASA Ames (8th International Cryocooler Conference, 1994). By changing the valve opening conditions in DIPTR for different boundary conditions variation in refrigerating effect analyzed by banjare et. Recent developments of superconductive industries require cryocoolers with cooling power higher than 1 W in the 70–80 K temperature range. The extra gas flow also regulates the phase angle between the pressure and mass flow in the system. The design of Pulse Tube Refrigeration Unit was based on Orifice Pulse Tube Concept. This effect is commonly used in camping and portable coolers and for cooling electronic components and small instruments. Required fields are marked *. Mikulin, A.A. Tarasov, and M.P. This reduced the refrigeration power per unit of compressed mass and hence increases the regenerator loss.

In process 3-4 piston moves up and produces pressure difference in the system therefore it produce adiabatic expansion of the gas with the drop in temperature to the wall temperature thus it produce the cooling effect during the low pressure, gas which leaves the pulse tube during this process it also colder than heat exchanger, which provides cooling for thermal load at Tc in the heat exchanger. The gas acoustic power determines the refrigeration efficiency so that it is critical to improve the electric-to-acoustic efficiency of the linear compressor to design a highly efficient PTR. (a) the standard unit used in refrigeration problems (b) the cooling effect produced by melting 1 ton of ice (c) the refrigeration effect to freeze 1 ton of water at 0°C into ice at 0°C in 24 hours (d) the refrigeration effect to produce 1 ton of ice at NTP conditions (e) the refrigeration effect to produce 1 ton of ice in 1 hour time. At the moment, the lowest temperature is below the boiling point of helium (4.2 K). The power input to the PWG and cryocooler can be scaled according to the refrigeration need, as opposed traditional refrigeration where capacity control is achieved by on-off operation. They found that the cooling power and coefficient of performance of two stage pulse tube cooler below 4K has been increase gradually by using the newly developed ceramic magnetic regenerative material GdAlO3. [8] He reached a temperature of 105 K. Soon after that, PTRs became better due to the invention of new variations. However, in the pulse tube it would seem that the cycle followed by a particular element * Author to whom all correspondence should be addressed of gas depends on its initial position within the tube. M. Qiu et al. By varying phase angle, they get lowest temperature 132 K at phase angle 40 degree. Cryocoolers are small refrigerators that can reach cryogenic temperatures and provide refrigeration in the temperature range 10 K to 120 K. Pulse tube cooler is one kind of cryocooler. This observation led to the Orifice Pulse Tube. Pulse tube 16 is connected to tube 46 at inlet port 50 of the pulse tube and communicates with reservoir 20 through tube 52 secured at outlet port 54 of the pulse tube. The design of Pulse Tube Refrigeration Unit was based on Orifice Pulse Tube Concept. Originally this was considered to be impossible. The pressure variation in the tube is obtained by a rotating valve, which connects the tube alternatively to the high-and low-pressure side of the compressor. 52, pp. Fig.5 Schematic diagram of inertance tube pulse tube refrigerator (IPTR). reaction chamber, having attached a cooling system with an adjacent cooling agent 2 liquid) holder (Fig. However, the lambda transition of 4He is a barrier for reaching temperatures below 2 K. Theoretical analysis in this paper shows that, using 3He, the temperature limit is below 2 K, and the efficiency of a 4 K pulse tube refrigerator can be improved significantly. Ju, A pulse tube refrigeration below 2 K, Cryogenics, vol. In so-called dry magnets, coolers are used so that no cryoliquid is needed at all or for the recondensation of the evaporated helium. Lu and A.Z. Another advantage is that there are no cold moving parts which enhances life time and removes vibration causing components from the cold head. This paper describes about pulse tube refrigerator and review of experimental, analytical and CFD work carried out on pulse tube refrigerator. Later this record was broken by the Giessen Group that managed to get even below 1.3 K. In a collaboration between the groups from Giessen and Eindhoven a temperature of 1.2 K was reached by combining a PTR with a superfluid vortex cooler.[14]. The use of valves in the GM cryocooler or with pulse tubes driven with a GM-type compressor and rotary valve (known as GM-type pulse tubes) reduces their efficiency 315321, 2007, A. D. Badgujar and M. D. Atrey, Theoretical and experimental investigation of pressure drop and refrigeration effect in pulse tube cryocooler, Journal of mechanical engineering science , 0954406215584393, May 2015. Below 10 K one uses magnetic materials which are specially developed for this application. It can also be used to cool detectors and electronic devices. Process 4-1 Constant low pressure heating. This is compact and places the cold head at an end so it is easy to integrate with whatever is to be cooled. Ice melts at 0°C, so when it is placed in a space or system warmer than 0°C heat flows into ice and the space is cooled.
