| Summary: | In this work, the results obtained in different tests performed on a Stirling cryocooler are shows, as well as a comparative analysis of these results with different load pressures. The prototype is a single-acting Stirling engine with a piston and displacer, which is used to liquefy air with helium as the working fluid; this is an integral Stirling (β-type). A three-phase asynchronous electric motor drives the Stirling engine and cooling, in the hot focus, is performed with a pressurized water circuit. In the cold focus are reached very low temperatures, around 75 K (-198 °C). The study has been developed at different load pressures of the working fluid and it shows a comparative analysis about the most important work parameters evolution. The parameters studied are the following: cooling water inlet and outlet temperatures, cold and hot focus temperatures, voltage and intensity consumed by the electric motor that drives the Stirling engine and quantity of liquid air obtained. The results show that it is very likely to use this configuration in industrial processes when they need cold and heat simultaneously. |
