โฆ Synopsis
To investigate how to reach 4 K using a pulse tube and the best multiple staging configuration for the pulse tube, experiments were performed on several types of singlestage pulse tube refrigerators coupled with a Gifford-McMahon cryocooler. The minimum temperature obtained at the cold end of the pulse tube using this unit was 3.5 K, when the hot end of the pulse tube was located at room temperature. The hot end of the final stage regenerator was precooled at ~ 15-20 K. The optimum operating conditions involved a mean pressure of ~ 1.0-1.5 MPa and a frequency of ~ 1-2 Hz. Heat flow and loss analysis, as related to the phase shift effect, as well as the arrangement of the multi-stage pulse tube refrigerator for reaching 4 K, are briefly discussed.

The pulse tube reported in this paper is 5 mm in inner diameter and 50 mm in length with an effective tube volume of about 0.4cm3. The coaxial design is used to minimize its dimensions and nylon tube is used to decrease heat transfer between the pulse tube and the surrounding regenerator. It was op
The heat input towards the cold end of a pulse tube refrigerator is studied using combinations of two regenerators and two pulse tubes of different lengths. The temperature gradient in the pulse tube or regenerator is altered by changing the length. Changing the regenerator length produces almost no
A novel multiple staging configuration for the pulse tube refrigerator is described for increasing its performance and simplicity. To decrease both the regenerator loss and pulse tube loss, a regenerative tube was developed for operating the pulse tube from room temperature to liquid helium temperat
