A study on the linear compressor characteristics of the Stirling cryocooler Original Research Article

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the linear compressor for Stirling cryocooler. To ensure high performance and long life of the free piston, free displacer Stirling cryocooler, the operating parameters of the linear compressor should be optimized. The experimental results show the operating frequency of the linear compressor has significant effect to the input power characteristics, and the compressor with higher charging pressure of working fluid has high pressure ratio. For the high performance of the linear compressor, compressor has uniform magnetic force with different stroke, and the optimal operating frequency with respect to the charging pressure.
