Pulse tube coolers are increasingly used in industry and research due to their low vibrations and long service intervalls. The regenerator and especially the filling of the regenerator has a great influence on the cooling capacity as well as the achievable, minimum temperatures. The temperature-dependent heat storage capacity of the materials used in the regenerator is usually the main focus of attention when selecting regenerator fillings. [1, 2]
This poster deals with the pressure drop of two regenerator fillings of stainless steel spheres and sieves. Steady-state and transient measurements of the two regenerator fillings will be discussed. In comparison of the two fillings used, the meshes show lower pressure drops, resulting in a higher cooling efficiency as regenerator filling, while spheres are more cost efficient in time and acquisition.
