Motor and thermodynamic losses in linear cryocooler compressors

Stirling cycle and Pulse Tube cryocoolers can be described by ideal thermodynamic cycles with discrete losses, however experiments show a systematic underestimate of power consumed. Existing correlations have been unable to explain the magnitude of this additional 'compression loss', but i...
