A Miniature Pulse Tube Cryocooler (MPTC) is the first selection for the cooling of IR sensors, infrared detectors, etc. in space technology. The regenerator is one of the key components to operate an MPTC at high efficiency. The objective of this study is to explore the possibilities of the different matrices as regenerator filler materials for MPTC operating at ultra-high frequencies. REGEN 3.3 is one of the best software available for the design and optimization of cryocooler regenerators. We have used REGEN 3.3 for numerical simulations of the three different regenerator matrix materials viz. stainless steel wire mesh screen (SS 635#), brass wire mesh screen (500#) and copper wire mesh screen (500#) at the hot end and cold end temperatures of 300[Formula: see text]K and 80[Formula: see text]K for COP, cooling power, total power losses and pressure losses, at an ultra-high frequency of 100[Formula: see text]Hz and 200[Formula: see text]Hz. The simulation results depict that the regenerator using stainless steel mesh screen shows better results than that of the brass mesh screen and copper mesh screen at 100[Formula: see text]Hz. However, the performance of brass mesh screen and copper mesh screen performs better than the stainless steel at 200[Formula: see text]Hz. Therefore, the proposed matrix materials can be used as regenerator materials for the MPTC at ultra-high frequencies with better performances.

Recent developments of superconductive industry require cryocoolers with cooling power higher than one Watt in the 70–80 K temperature range. High capacity pulse tube cryocoolers assure the cooling power required for operation of superconducting devices. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of the pressure wave generator on high capacity pulse tube cryocooler performance. In this respect the hydrodynamic and thermal behavior of the cryocooler is explained by applying the mass and energy balance equations to different components of the cryocooler cycle. A linear temperature profile is assumed in the regenerator and nodal analysis technique is employed to simulate the tube section behavior numerically. Employing the proposed model the effect of pressure wave characteristics at the inlet boundary, namely, the Stirling type and G-M type pressure inlet on cryocooler performance are investigated. The influence of Pressure amplitude, frequency and swept volume is studied as well.
