Résumé

Modern technology calls increasingly for provision of cooling at cryogenic temperatures: super-conductivity research; imaging equipment for search-and-rescue; contemporary diagnostic medicine; space exploration; advanced computer hardware; military defence systems.

Where it is desirable to generate the cooling effect close to the point of heat removal, electrically powered Stirling and pulse-tube machines offer advantages over traditional, passive systems. The Stirling has the greater number of moving parts, but operates on a straightforward gas processes cycle. The pulse-tube dispenses with the displacer, exploiting instead a lack of equilibrium in the gas processes to provoke internal enthalpy migration and thus cooling. However, the kinematic simplicity of the pulse-tube is achieved at the cost of inscrutability of the gas processes.

Stirling and Pulse-tube Cryo-coolers raises the threshold from which first principles design of regenerative cryo-coolers may start. Those wishing to extend their study of the subject beyond the well-trodden, ideal gas/quasi-steady-state rationalizations will require this book.
