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



Existing Open Source Designs
