Purpose
- Minimize vibrations of the cryocooler for operation in sensitive environments.
Objectives
- Determine forces at the coldhead and PWG in X, Y & Z directions under four different conditions
- Massive and Isolated Mounting
- Rigid and Flexible Transfer Lines
Accomplishments
- Successful three axis characterization of forces: two components, two cooler configurations, two mount/ support configurations
- Dynamic model used to compute an equivalent forcing function
