Abstract The successful HEC cryocooler compressor has been used as the basis for two very similar compressors, one smaller and one larger than the original. The new compressors were designed largely by a direct scaling of the original. This paper describes from first principles how some of the design parameters are affected by scaling, and how this will impose limitations on machines at extreme ends of the size range. The three sizes of compressor are compared, and some of the practical problems encountered during the scaling process are mentioned.
