Abstract

The Vuilleumier refrigerator cold free piston type displacer operates on pressure pulses generated by relative heating and cooling of gas to raise and lower the pressure in the entire interconnected system. The cold displacer operates with differential areas against which the line pressure acts, and a pneumatic spring to cause reciprocation of the displacer.
