  • Patent number: 4713939
    Abstract: A cooling system has a compressor for producing cyclic pressure conditions within a refrigerator's system's volume. The compressor alternately increases and decreases the working volume, thus raising and lowering the coolant pressure. An expander reacts to this cyclic pressure change in such a manner to achieve a net removal of work, or, in the other words, provide cooling at the cold tip.
