Abstract
Experimental studies of the influencing factors on the lowest refrigerating temperature of a miniature co-axial pulse tube refrigerator have been carried out in this paper. The results show that with the decrease of the mole fraction of hydrogen in the hydrogen-helium mixture, the lowest refrigerating temperature decreases, and when the mole fraction of hydrogen is below 20%, the lowest refrigerating temperature is close to that obtained using pure helium. In addition, it is also found that the optimum frequency of the compressor is about 16.7 Hz for different hydrogen-helium mixtures. When the charge pressure of the compressor increases, the lowest refrigerating temperature decreases; however, the decreasing trend gradually slows down with the increase of the charge pressure. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
