Thermoacoustic effect, as a subprocess of the photoacoustic effect, can also convert heat to acoustic wave by a thermoacoustic prime mover, and can also pump heat by acoustic wave in a thermoacoustic refrigerator. The present study focuses on a thermoacoustically driven pulse tube refrigerator, utilizing sound from a thermoacoustic prime mover to drive a pulse tube refrigerator. Experiments emphasize on the characteristics of both the thermoacoustic prime mover and the combined refrigeration system, including resonant frequency, onset temperature, pressure amplitude, and refrigeration temperature, etc. A cryogenic temperature lower than 120 K has been achieved from the present system. Much effort is also devoted to the influence of some working gases, such as helium–argon mixture, on the performance of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
