An experimental study was carried out to improve the cooling capacity and performance of the pulse tube refrigerator. Three buffer pulse tube refrigerator was designed and fabricated, and the experimental apparatus was constructed. This paper presents operating process of three buffer pulse tube refrigerator and results obtained with the performance test. The cooldown characteristics and load characteristics are described. The lowest temperature measured in three pulse tube refrigerator was 88K and the cooling capacity at the optimum operating condition was 27W at 120K.

A free piston and free displacer (FPFD) Stirling cryocooler for cooling infrared and cryo-sensor is currently under development at Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials. In this study, performance tests of stirling cryocooler with different length of split tube were performed to get characteristics of cryocooler. The Experimental results show the Stirling cryocooler with small volume of split tube has higher cooling power and faster response time.

This paper presents operating process and design method on the linear compressor Stirling cryocooler for cooling infrared detector. The free piston-type Stirling cryocooler, which applies 1) the Stirling cycle for refrigeration, 2) linear motors for driving, 3) flexure bearings for support systems, and 4) fine gap for clearance seals, is the most suitable design for a mechanical cryocooler utilized in a night vision environment.

In this study, a thermoacoustic refrigerator, using a resonant standing acoustic wave. has been built. The refrigerant is helium gas. The description of thermoacoustic refrigerator was Presented. The temperature ratio (cold part temperature over hot part temperature) and the COP (Coefficient of Performance) that normalized by carnot's COP are plotted versus the thermal load applied to the cold end, for- various speaker power.

We manufactured neon liquefaction system for cooling system of HTS motor. The neon liquefaction system consists of a GM refrigerator, a liquefaction vessel and a vacuum chamber. It is found that the neon starts to be liquefied in the liquefaction vessel after 35 minutes of cool-down from gas state of 294k. Capacity of neon liquefaction system and the liquefaction rate were about 36W, 0.1g/s.

In this paper, cycle performance analysis of $NH_3-CO_2$(R717-R744) two-stage cascade refrigeration system is presented to offer the basic design data for the operating parameters of the system. The operating parameters considered in this study include subcooling and superheating degree, compressor efficiency, and condensing and evaporating temperature in the ammonia(R717) high temperature cycle and the carbon dioxide low temperature cycle. The main results were summarized as follows : The COP of two-stage cascade refrigeration system increases with the increasing subcooling degree, but decreases with the increasing superheating degree. The COP of two-stage cascade refrigeration system decreases with the increasing condensing temperature, but increases with the increasing evaporating temperature. And the COP of two-stage cascade refrigeration system increases with increasing the compressor efficiency. Therefore, superheating and subcoolng degree, compressor efficiency, and evaporating and condensing temperature of $NH_3-CO_2$(R717-R744) two-stage cascade refrigeration system have an effect on the COP of this system.

극저온 냉동기 시장은 군수시장이 대부분이며 민수시장은 현재까지는 여러 분야에 응용되기 시작하는 시장 형성기에 있다. 그러나 향후 초전도시장과 더불어 성장이 기대되는 시장이다. 국내는 기술 개발면에서 많은 발전을 하고 있지만 아직도 외국에 비하여 뒤떨어진 실정이며 특히 극저온 냉동기의 제조 공정과 경제성 면에서의 기술발전은 본사를 제외하고서는 전무한 실정이다. 생산기술의 면에서의 연구 부족은 제한된 시장과 많은 기술장벽과 단시간의 개발기간 등에 주원인이 있다고 하겠다. 이러한 공정기술 낙후성은 가격경쟁력에서 뚜렷이 나타날 수밖에 없으며 이를 극복하기 위해서는 지속적인 개발과 체계적 지원이 뒤따라야 한다. 극저온냉동기의 국산화를 위해서는 원천기술 개발뿐만 아니라 공정 및 생산기술 개발 또한 절실히 필요하다. 따라서 많은 관계 연구자들의 연구와 관심이 뒤따라야 한다.

국산 크라이오 펌프를 개발하는 사업이 1단계 3년을 지나 올해 2단계에 접어들었다. 그동안 기계연을 중심으로 맥동관형 냉동기 개발에 주력하면서 저온성능 향상에서 큰 진전을 보였고 2단계에서는 우성진공의 주도하에 펌프의 상용화를 목표로 하고 있다. 펌프는 냉동기 뿐만 아니라 활성탄 어레이와 열차폐 및 배플이 잘 설계되어야 최적의 배기성능을 나타낼 수 있다. 우선은 펌프의 목표성능을 좀 더 구체화할 필요가 있고, 각 부품들의 상세한 형상결정에 앞서 개략적인 배치설계에 대해 성능을 예측하여 목표성능과 비교하고 설계를 수정하는 것을 반복하여 전반적으로 구조설계의 최적화를 완성하는 것이 급선무이다. 본 발표에서는 이런 구조설계 최적화 작업의 처음 결과와 개발중인 크라이오 펌프의 최종 성능 목표치에 대해 소개한다.
