Abstract

A thermoacoustic refrigeration device (TAR) includes an acoustic wave generation device arranged directed to the channel of a hollow tube, and a stack provided at a predetermined position in the channel of the tube. A temperature difference is obtained across the stack by an acoustic wave emitted from the acoustic wave generation device. The working fluid used is air. This work examined the performance of thermoacoustic refrigeration, which is the theory of using sound waves to cool the air. The main aim of this work is to design and construct a small thermoacoustic refrigerator from inexpensive and readily available parts and analyzed the results. The design includes the dimension of the stack, selection of acoustic driver, an acoustic resonator. The experiments showed that while thermoacoustic cooling was possible, high efficiency was beyond our reach due to materials restrictions. We obtained the temperature difference of 7°C for constructing this simple device. However, from these limitations devised several proposals for increasing the performance of thermoacoustic refrigerators.Experiments show the performance can improve by using a better material such as high heat carrying capacity materials and the working fluids like inert gases.
