Compressor Device and a Cooling Device Having the Compressor Device

Abstract

A cooling device with a novel compressor includes a cylinder, a connector, a working gas line, a cryocooler, a piston, a drive device and a compressor element. The connector is disposed at the end of the cylinder. The working gas line connects the connector to the cryocooler. The piston is movable back and forth inside the cylinder. A transfer space exists inside the cylinder between the piston and the end of the cylinder. A portion of the transfer space contains a transfer fluid. The drive device is adapted to move the piston back and forth inside the cylinder. The compressor element is disposed inside the transfer space. A working space that contains a working gas exists inside the compressor element. The working gas contained in the working space inside the compressor element is periodically compressed by the transfer fluid as the piston periodically moves back and forth inside the cylinder.
