Effect of Thermal Cycling on Operational Characteristics and Lifetime Prediction of Space Pulse Tube Refrigerator

This paper presents the operation status and results of ground thermal cycling test of pulse tube refrigerators (PTRs) for space application. Firstly, a thermal cycling degradation model was proposed by considering two physical mechanisms: contamination and fatigue damage. Then, a thermal cycling te...
