Classification of cryocoolers

Abstract

A great diversity of methods and mechanisms were devised to effect cryogenic refrigeration. The basic parameters and considerations affecting the selection of a particular system are reviewed. A classification scheme for mechanical cryocoolers is presented. An important distinguishing feature is the incorporation or not of a regenerative heat exchanger, of valves, and of the method for achieving a pressure variation.
