This work introduces an optimized single?stage GM cryocooler based on the COOLPOWER 250 MDe, engineered to deliver improved cooling performance in the sub?35 K temperature range. By various optimizing steps the system achieves increased cooling power at low temperatures without changes to compressor specifications and power consumption. The cryocooler targets demanding applications such as HTS cooling and cryopanels for solid vacuum generation in space simulation chambers and thruster testing.
