Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A helium-cooling type regenerator configured to retain cold temperatures of working gas includes a first section through which the working gas flows, a second section configured to accommodate helium gas as a regenerator material, and a regenerator material pipe connected to the second section and to a helium source.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A pulse tube refrigerator, comprising: a compressor configured to feed working gas to a pulse tube via a regenerator tube and to collect the working gas from the pulse tube via the regenerator tube; and a helium-cooling type regenerator configured to retain cold temperatures of the working gas, the helium-cooling type regenerator including a first section through which helium gas serving as the working gas flows; and a second section configured to accom…
