Abstract
The Fuji Electric Group has established main technologies with high reliability for use in Stirling cryocoolers for space satellite systems. For commercial applications, we also have developed and started selling a miniature pulse tube cryocooler from 2W to 3W at 70K with 100W electric power input. In the development of a new compressor, we introduce a moving magnet to a driving system to achieve greater compactness and higher efficiency in place of the moving coil that had about 70% efficiency. In addition, we adopted a coaxial pulse tube as an expander for compactness. This development is aimed at cooling a high-temperature superconductive (HTS) device in a wireless telecommunication system. The compressor requires total compression work of 75W with 90% efficiency for longer than 50,000 hours. Preliminary tests of each part of a moving magnet linear motor and a coaxial pulse tube have been completed. In the next phase, we have made a first-stage prototype compressor used by the new linear motor, and we have tested the new machine. Here we describe each test and combination test results of the cryocooler.
