✦ Synopsis


This paper presents the development and validation of a computational scheme for an analysis of activated charcoal--nitrogen adsorption cryocoolers. Using this procedure a comparative analysis of four samples of charcoal is carried out. It is shown that the specific power (SP) of the cryocooler is governed by the packing density achievable in addition to the charcoal adsorption characteristics, cycle operating pressures and temperatures. A 77 K cryocooler with an SP of the order of 400 W W-l can be achieved with a charcoal packing density of about 1 g cm -3 for several available charcoals. The analysis shows that Fluka and BCGI specimens can yield promising results under the present technologically realizable conditions.

The results of measurements of adsorption isotherms of hydrogn, neon and nitrogen on charcoal in the temperature range of 77 K to 400 K and the pressure range of 1 arm to 80 atm are given. The heats of adsorption were calculated from the measured isotherms. The isotherms were fitted to a semiempiric
