✦ Synopsis

This paper deals with the construction and performance of a thermoacoustic refrigerator. The manufacturing of the different components of the apparatus will be explained along with the reasons for using specific materials. The setup consists of three major parts: The refrigerator which is contained in a vacuum vessel, the electronic apparatus necessary for the measurements and acquisition of the experimental data, and the gas-control panel which is used to fill and purge the system and to prepare gas mixtures. The system is assembled and the first measurements show a good behavior. A low temperature of Γ€65 Β°C is achieved which is one of the lowest reported temperatures up to date.

Based on the discussion of the matching problems between the prime mover and pulse tube, a self-made standing-wave thermoacoustic prime mover is used to drive a coaxial single-stage pulse tube refrigerator. A lowest refrigeration temperature of 138 K was obtained from the preliminary tests in 1999.
