An experimental thermoacoustically driven thermoacoustic refrigerator

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1996
The construction of a thermoacoustically (heat) driven, thermoacoustic refrigerator (TADTAR) is nearing completion. The design utilizes a novel resonator topology and high-efficiency primary heat exchangers. Numerical models suggest a cooling power level of at least 500 W over a temperature span of 40 °C.

A cascade thermoacoustic engine

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003
A cascade thermoacoustic engine is described, consisting of one standing-wave stage plus two traveling-wave stages in series. Most of the acoustic power is produced in the efficient traveling-wave stages. The straight-line series configuration is easy to build and allows no Gedeon streaming.

Improvements in an experimental thermoacoustically driven thermoacoustic refrigerator

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997
A thermoacoustically (heat) driven, thermoacoustic refrigerator apparatus, having a novel topology, has produced significant cooling power and efficiency. It has achieved a cooling temperature span of 60 °C, and 91 W of cooling power at a span of 25 °C, with an overall COP of 0.15. These numbers were produced with a porous carbon refrigerator stack and

SCALING OF THERMOACOUSTIC REFRIGERATORS

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008
The possibility of scaling-down thermoacoustic refrigerators is theor. investigated. Standing-wave systems are considered as well as traveling-wave. In the former case, a ref. system is taken that consists of a resonator tube (50 cm) with a closed end and a PVC stack (length 5 cm).

Thermoacoustic refrigeration for space applications

Space Programs and Technologies Conference, 1991
A thermoacoustic refrigerator has been designed, tested, and certified by NASA to be flown aboard the space-shuttle get-away-special (GAS) payload program on STS-42 in January 1992. This thermoacoustic heat pump uses acoustic power to pump heat from a low-temperature source to a high-temperature sink. It has only 15 g of moving mass operating at 400 Hz,
