摘要: A thermoacoustic device includes a process volume which is filled with a working fluid through which the acoustic wave propagates. The thermoacoustic device further includes an acoustic network comprising a tubular loop configured with a passage providing an opening in the loop and configured as acoustic circuit provided with a compliance volume, a thermo-acoustic core and an inertance volume. Within the loop, the thermoacoustic core is at a first side thereof adjacent to the passage at a first path length through the loop, and at its second side, opposite to the first side, the thermoacoustic core is at a second path length from the passage. The thermoacoustic device includes within the loop a spring-type partitioning element that is configured to close off the cross-section of the tube and to be impermeable for the working fluid while allowing transmission of pressure waves in the working fluid through the spring-type partitioning element.

摘要: An expander unit of a cryogenic refrigerator device includes a moving assembly with a porous regenerative heat exchanger configured to move back and forth along a longitudinal axis. A magnetic spring assembly includes a stationary magnetic assembly fixed to the cold finger base that includes one or more magnetic rings fixedly arranged about a bore. A movable magnetic assembly includes one or more movable magnetic rings fixed to the moving assembly. An outer lateral dimension of each of the movable magnetic rings is less than an inner lateral dimension of the bore. The stationary magnetic assembly and the movable magnetic assembly are configured such that, when the moving assembly is displaced along the longitudinal axis from an equilibrium position, attractive and repulsive forces between the movable magnetic assembly and the stationary magnetic assembly yield a restoring force that is directed to restore the moving assembly to the equilibrium position.

摘要: A cryogenic freezer features a dewar defining a storage space. A reservoir is positioned within or adjacent to the storage space and is configured to contain a cryogenic liquid with a headspace above the cryogenic liquid in a reservoir interior space that is sealed with respect to the storage space. A refrigeration module is in heat exchange relationship with the reservoir. A sensor is configured to determine a temperature or pressure within the reservoir. A system controller is connected to the sensor and the refrigeration module and configured so that the refrigeration module is adjusted to provide additional cooling to the reservoir when a pressure or temperature within the headspace increases.

摘要: Systems and methods for improving the performance of dilution refrigeration systems are described. Filters and traps employed in the helium circuit of a dilution refrigerator may be modified to improve performance. Some traps may be designed to harness cryocondensation as opposed to cryoadsorption. A cryocondensation trap employs a cryocondensation surface having a high thermal conductivity and a high specific heat with a binding energy that preferably matches at least one contaminant but does not match helium. Multiple traps may be coupled in series in the helium circuit, with each trap designed to trap a specific contaminant or set of contaminants. Both cryocondensation and cryoadsorption may be exploited among multiple traps.

摘要: The cryocooler includes an expander motor that operates an expander of the cryocooler, an inverter that is configured to control an operation frequency of the expander motor and is operable to drive the expander motor in the steady operation at an operation frequency lower than in the cool-down operation, a current sensor that measures a current supplied from the inverter to the expander motor, and outputs a motor current signal indicating the current; and a processor that monitors the expander motor on a basis of the motor current signal in at least the steady operation.

摘要: A satellite having a cooling system to remove heat from an electric rocket engine using a working fluid. The cooling system can include a pump that circulates working fluid along a cooling loop between the rocket engine and a radiator. The cooling system can also utilize thermoacoustic, Stirling refrigeration, and/or heat pipe techniques. One or more reservoirs can be provided to store the working fluid, and in some forms a secondary reservoir can be provided to aid in management of a center of mass of the satellite. A fluid reaction loop can be provided in which working fluid is accelerated to impart a torque on the satellite. In some forms, the working fluid can be utilized as both a coolant and a propellant for the rocket engine. The electric rocket thruster can also include one or more internal pathways for the conveyance of working fluid.

摘要: Provided is a group of rare-earth regenerator material particles having an average particle size of 0.01 to 3 mm, wherein the proportion of particles having a ratio of a long diameter to a short diameter of 2 or less is 90% or more by number, and the proportion of particles having a depressed portion having a length of 1/10 to ½ of a circumferential length on a particle surface is 30% or more by number. By forming the depressed portion on the surface of the regenerator material particles, it is possible to increase permeability of an operating medium gas and a contact surface area with the operating medium gas.
