Cascade pulse tube method approaching Carnot refrigeration efficiency and its two stage verification
its ideal cooling efficiency could possibly approach Carnot efficiency.A cascade pulse tube cooler with a built-in transmission tube between stages for energy recovery is suggested in this paper
the transmission tube is able to reverse the phase relation between mass flow and pressure wave and to transfer the acoustic power as much as possible to drive a secondary cooler.Theoretical analysis of an ideal transmission tube is carried out
which shows that it is possible to recover the acoustic power from the former stage to drive a secondary stage by choosing proper size of the tube.To verify this idea
a two stage cascade pulse tube cooler was designed
fabricated and tested.Experimental results show that the efficiency can be improved by 33% when the machine works at 233 K.
