Cooling Cycle Optimization for a Vuilleumier Refrigerator by Raphael Paul, Abdellah Khodja, Andreas Fischer, Karl Heinz Hoffmann

“…Here, the question of how the performance of Vuilleumier refrigerators can be improved is addressed with a particular focus on the piston motion and thus the thermodynamic cycle of the refrigerator. In order to obtain a quantitative estimate of the possible cooling power gain, a special class of piston movements (the AS motion class explained below) is used, which was already used successfully in the context of Stirling engines. …”
