Open Source Stirling Cryocooler
Contents
Basics
- A device that uses the stirling effect for refrigeration
- Although this is inneficient for HVAC/Refrigeration Need, as you approach cryogenic temperatures these preform quite well
Used For
- Small Scale Gas Liquification
- Cryogenic Liquid Free Cooling of Scientific intstrument cooling
- Cryogenic Liquid Free Cooling of Medical instrument cooling
- Cryogenic Liquid Free Cooling of Superconductors
Industry Standards
- Sunpower Cryotel Cryocoolers
