  • Cryogenic system design for a hydrogen sorption cooler 
    Sirbi, A.; Bowman, R. C.; Wade, L. A.; Barber, D. S. (2000-11-21)
    For several future space applications, long life vibration free collers are needed to cover the temperature range from 60K to about 4K. We describe the development of a novel cryogenic system capable of reaching 18K in ...
  • Performance prediction of the Planck sorption cooler and initial validation 
    Prina, M.; Bhandari, P.; Bowman, R. C.; Wade, L. A.; Pearson, D. P. (2000-11-10)
    Two continuous operation 18 K/20 K sorption coolers are being developed by JPL for the ESA Planck mission to provide about 200 mW of cooling at 18 K and 1.4 W at 20 K. A detailed performance prediction model has been ...
