Abstract: A heat driven acoustic type pulse tube cryocooler has metal knit installed within a driving section cooling a driving gas of an application device using a principle of high temperature superconductivity, and then homogeneously heats the driving gas by way of premixed combustion so that the driving gas generates an acoustic having a predetermined frequency. The orifice installed within a reservoir controls the amount of the driving gas running between the cold reservoir and the pulse tube to constantly maintain a pressure of the cold reservoir. Therefore, the driving gas repeats the process of the compression and expansion centering around the pulse tube, thereby cooling the application device.
