The Construction and Investigation of The 1/4 Wavelength Thermoacoustic Refrigerator

1/4파장 열음향 냉동기의 제작 및 성능시험

The thermoacoustic refrigerator has not only considerable possibility but also commercial usability, because it has high reliability, lower vibration, no moving part, and can easily be constructed. In this study, The thermoacoustic refrigerator were constructed. The apparatus is capable of driving closed systems containing He or air at mean pressures ranging from 1-9.3 bar, at frequencies ranging from 100-1000Hz. The resonance characteristics of the thermoacoustic refrigerator were investigated for better performance, The resonance tube is 340.5mm in length. In case of using air as a coolant. Freezing frequency is 174Hz, In case of using He as a coolant Freezing frequency is 625Hz. Using He, The cold-part temperature of the heat exchanger fell to $-23.7^{\circ}C$ after 120 minutes in 70W.
