Abstract

See full text

A method for operating a cryocooler includes: connecting a second compressor in series with a first compressor on a high pressure line or a low pressure line; connecting a buffer volume to the low pressure line via a supply valve; executing initial cooling for cooling an expander from an initial temperature to a cryogenic temperature in a state where the second compressor and the buffer volume are connected to the cryocooler; and executing a steady operation of maintaining the expander at the cryogenic temperature after the initial cooling. The execution of the initial cooling includes supplying a working gas to the expander by using the first compressor and the second compressor, and controlling the supply valve to keep a pressure of the high pressure line within a preset appropriate pressure range based on the measured pressure of the high pressure line.
