Abstract: When very low temperatures are needed for industrial applications, reverse Brayton cryocoolers can be adopted. This paper reports the results of an energy analysis in which the performance of a Brayton cryocooler prototype was studied. The prototype is innovative in both the cycle configuration and the pressure and temperature levels. Moreover, nitrogen, an eco-friendly gas that is safe for people, was used as the working fluid.
