Significant advances in cryocoolers over the last decade have allowed cooling technology to become capable of supporting longer lifetime applications, with the potential of very low cost. A survey of cryocooler technology has been funded by the Defense Research Projects Agency (DARPA) through the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), to update, expand, and disseminate the current capability, availability, and cost of cryogenic coolers. This paper presents an initial summary of the data collected, and reviews the trends and analysis of prior surveys performed in the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s1–8.
This cryocooler survey included contacts in the US, Europe, China, and Japan. The scope of the survey was coolers for sensor, superconducting, and cold CMOSS applications of interest to both military and commercial markets. Life test data, production capabilities, and cost summaries are presented in addition to the traditional performance parameters of temperature, capacity, efficiency, power, weight, and others. Initial results show improved trends in efficiency. The data and analysis have been compiled on electronic media and the survey with associated browsing and searches will initially be available to parties who participated.
