Thermoacoustic Refrigeration for Beam Profile Monitors at CERN

Europe/Zurich
866/2-D05 (CERN)
Description
Thermoacoustic refrigerators use the mechanical energy in acoustic waves to pump heat, i.e. refrigerate. These devices use gas as a working fluid (e.g. air or He, no need for environmentally hazardous gases) and can therefore be utilised in environments where liquid cooling is undesirable, e.g. in an accelerator beam pipe. In this seminar the physical phenomenon will be explained. Our calculations to determine design parameters for a prototype cooling system aimed for an Ionisation Profile Monitor and the results will be presented.
