In 2007 AIM introduced SF100 Moving-Magnet Flexure-Bearing compressor suitable for Stirling and Pulse Tube coldfinger.
In this paper there will be an update on several improvements for SF100 Stirling-Type Cooler suitable for SADA-applications.
The improvements to both compressor and regenerator focus on improvements regarding:
- Compliance with harsh environments
- Reliability
- Efficiency
- Increase in power density, i.e. max. input power
- Fast cooldown, especially at high ambient temperatures
Design approach and performance data as well as qualification results will be shown.
Over the past decade, AIM has developed a family of compact, highly reliable cryocoolers to meet the demands of various customers and its products. These developments mainly focused on the improvement and optimization of size, weight, power consumption and cost (SWaP,C). In particular, efforts have been made to meet the requirements for ultra-compact camera cores using high operating temperature (HOT)-IR sensors as well as for high performance IR-modules using the latest digital ROIC technology. Design features and performance data of the most recent cryocooler and cooler electronics developments will be presented. Technical details introduced to meet demanding customer requirements will be discussed.
