ABSTRACT:
A high-power thermoacoustic refrigerator including a half-wave length resonator, first and second drivers located in housings at first and second ends of said resonator, two pusher cones, a plurality of heat exchangers, a first and second stack, utilizing a compressible gas mixture capable of being tuned to the driver resonance frequency, a half-wave length tube, fluids disposed within said heat exchangers for transferring heat, and voice coils wired 180 degrees out of phase for compressing said compressible fluid into a standing wave oscillating within said resonator.
