The Goddard Space Flight Center mechanical cooler program
Abstract
The Philips Stirling Cooler Program will ensure that a cooler is available to meet NASA's needs in the 40 to 120K temperature range in the 1990's. The Creare turbomachinery based cooler may provide an improved cooler for the 40 to 120K range. The design of advanced multistage coolers for use down to 2K will begin in 1988. Requirements, the history of the Stirling cooler, features of the photoflight cooler, advantages of the Philips cooler, mechanical reliability, and potential advantages of the Creare reverse Brayton cycle cooler are presented in viewgraph form.
