The pulse tube refrigerator has the advantages of simple structure, no moving parts of the cold finger assembly, high reliability, long service life, low vibration interference and the like, but the traditional pulse tube refrigerator has the problems of lower efficiency and the like, and cannot meet the current engineering requirements.
Therefore, the problem of low efficiency of the pulse tube refrigerator is solved, the efficiency of the traditional pulse tube refrigerator is lower than that of the Stirling refrigerator, and the traditional pulse tube refrigerator is lower than that of the Stirling refrigerator because the sound power at the hot end cannot be recovered through a moving ejector or piston like the Stirling refrigerator, but is dissipated in the form of waste heat at a phase modulation mechanism of an inertia tube, a bidirectional air inlet tube and the like, and the refrigeration efficiency can be improved by utilizing a power recovery technology path, so that the disadvantage of low pulse tube refrigeration efficiency is overcome.
