  • Stirling-cycle cooling device with monobloc support
    Patent number: 11473815
    Abstract: A cooling device employing a thermodynamic cycle of the reverse stirling cycle type is provided. The device includes a compressor with a reciprocating piston driven by a rotary motor about an axis by means of a crankshaft. The device further comprises a monobloc support forming a cylinder in which the piston of the compressor moves. The crankshaft is supported by a single bearing. The bearing is positioned without an intermediate component in a housing of the monobloc support.
