Abstract
The performance characteristics of CMC’s One-Watt Linear Cooler (Model B1000) are presented here for ranges of parameter values beyond the envelope defined by its commercial specification. CMC evaluated the B1000 cooler for a new airborne platform with a challenging cooldown requirement. This paper illustrates the mapping of a cryocooler performance envelope to determine the optimal operating point for this application. A key component of this performance map is CMC’s Linear Drive Cooler Electronics (LCDE). The versatility of the LCDE is demonstrated over the range of these tests.
