Cryocooler thermal and vibrational performance is determined, fundamentally, by the dynamic interactions between the mechanical system and the working fluid. This paper explores the effect of working-fluid characteristics on the mechanical response of the cooler. Experimental data collected from two coolers characterized under the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s extensive program of cryocooler testing and characterization show that a classical single-degree-of- freedom spring-mass-damper model does not capture the full frequency dependence of the mechanical response. The data from two modes of cooler operation (slosh and head-to-head) are used to motivate the explanation that working-fluid characteristics dominate at high frequencies, and mechanical system characteristics dominate at lower frequencies. Operating temperature is shown to be a significant factor in determining resonance behavior. Finally, the discussion provides a framework within which resonant parameters and cooler characteristics can extracted from the experimental data.
