Description
Pressure Wave Systems GmbH is developing low frequency linear compressors to directly drive GM or pulse tube cryocoolers without the need for a rotary valve. Since the rotary valve can be identified to account for substantial efficiency losses in conventional arrangements there is a large potential for increased energy efficiency. We have built a low frequency linear compressor that shows that pV-efficiencies of >70% can be reached with this concept. We will discuss our set-up and measurements.
