Abstract

This paper describes the development and productionisation of a miniature Stirling cycle

cryocooler for both military and industrial applications. The design is described and the features

which overcome common Stirling cycle cryocooler failure mechanisms are highlighted.Performance, life and environmental test data gathered from a pre-production batch of coolers is

presented. Issues arising from the integration of linear, monobloc, integrated Stirling cycle

coolers into infra-red and other systems are described. The paper concludes that long life, lowcost Stirling cycle coolers can be designed in a form suitable for volume production.
