Integration and experimental validation of a high-performance electronic driver with an ultra-low-power linear split stirling cryocooler

Abstract
The West Coast Solutions constant current drive Micro Cryocooler Control Electronics was recently tested with a high performance, highly-miniaturized split Stirling cryocooler from Ricor. The efficiency was shown to be essentially identical to that of the current sine driver product offering, but with the added advantage of constant input voltage and current. Results and future productization plans are presented.
