Résumé

The most promising applications for standing-wave thermoacoustic cooling were investigated from the perspective of the ratio of COP to the reversible COP or COPR. A design optimization program based on the thermoacoustic simulation program known as DELTAE was developed. The program was applied to two standing-wave thermoacoustic cooler configurations in order to determine the best possible COPRs for various temperature spans between hot-side and cold-side stack-end temperatures. It was found that the COPR of standing-wave thermoacoustic coolers increases with temperature span and reaches a maximum for temperature lifts around 80°C. Analysis of the results and the losses clearly shows that the efficiency of these systems may be good for refrigeration, but not for air-conditioning and cryogenic cooling. The COPRs determined from measurements for various thermoacoustic coolers developed so far show similar trends, and generally support the optimization results.
