Recently, regenerative refrigerators such as Gifford-McMahon (GM) refrigerators have achieved liquid helium temperature levels using magnetic regenerator materials that have a much larger specific heat capacity below 10K than conventional second regenerator materials of lead. In this investigation a high efficiency 4K GM refrigerator using magnetic regenerator materials was developed and investigated. A refrigeration capacity of 2.04W at 4.2K was obtained for 3.4 kW of compressor input power by optimization of the operating pressure ratio. A maximum coefficient of performance (COP) of 6.04 × 10−4 was achieved at 4.2K at a pressure ratio of 2.43 and an operating frequency of 30 rpm. In the investigation the refrigerator was operated at various pressure ratios, and at each pressure ratio measurements were made of compressor work, of pressure-volume (P-V) characteristics of the second expansion volume, and of refrigeration capacity at 4.2K. Refrigeration losses were estimated at 4.2K using the experimental results and are discussed. Operating frequency was also optimized to maximize second stage refrigeration performance.
