ABSTRACT:
A cryogenic refrigerator of rotary type which comprises a generally cylindrical rotor and an expander formed about a first axial portion of the rotor which is used as the expander rotor, with a plurality of radial vanes for defining about the expander rotor a series of expansion compartments which vary in volume as the rotor rotates. A regenerator is provided inside or outside and about a second axial portion of the rotor adjacent to and in fluid communication with the expander compartments. A compressor supplies compressed gas to the expander compartments for adiabatic expansion accompanied by a temperature drop of the expanded gas, which is conducted through the regenerator back to the compressor. The compressor may be of a rotary type and formed about a third axial portion of the rotor adjacent to the regenerator, with the third rotor portion being used as the compressor rotor having a plurality of radial vanes for defining about the compressor rotor a series of compression compartments which, as the rotor rotates, vary in volume in a predetermined correlation to the variation of volume of the expansion compartments.
