Experimental study of thermoacoustic cooling with parallel-plate stack in different distances

Thermo-acoustic is one of Non-Vapor compression cooling technologies also environmentally friendly technology developed rapidly to the present time due to its only use the sound wave to get the magnitude of cooling temperature with the oscillatory motion of the working gas pass through the stack inside a resonator is made in such manner, not use moving part such as the compressor. No lubrication system, low electricity consumption, and without the use of any chemical refrigerants so that the constructions, it will be more simplified and cheaper. The Stack is considered as the heart of the thermo-acoustic system which is the important heat transfer processes will be occur in this area. The variation of the shape, stack distances, kind of material stack applied on the system will be influenced the output of temperature as well. The writer will build a thermo-acoustic refrigerator with the parallel plate stack that is made from PVC Rigid sheets. This study will be done to see how the stack performance with temperature different aspect that would be achieved in the stack, the expectation on this experiment that the performance will have optimum result. The Writer also tried to conduct simulation with the DeltaEC's Software.
