Abstract:A performance comparison of a Pulse Tube Cryocooler (PTC) that uses inertance tube- bounce space and inertance tube-reservoir as a phase shifter is conducted using numerical simulations. The initial design cryocoolers were carried out using Sage software. A CFD model was developed using ANSYS Fluent to analyze the Cryocooler performance. The CFD model was used to simulate the effect of different volumes of reservoir and bounce space on Cryocooler performance. The thermal non-equilibrium mode was chosen to cons… Show more
