Study On Magnetic Circuit Of Moving Magnet Linear Compressor

The moving magnet linear compressors are very popular in the tactical miniature stirling cryocoolers. The magnetic circuit of LFC3600 moving magnet linear compressor, manufactured by Kunming institute of Physics, was studied in this study. Three methods of the analysis theory, numerical calculation and experiment study were applied in the analysis process. The calculated formula of magnetic reluctance and magnetomotive force were given in theoretical analysis model. The magnetic flux density and magnetic flux line were analyzed in numerical analysis model. A testing method was designed to test the magnetic flux density of the linear compressor. When the piston of the motor was in the equilibrium position, the value of the magnetic flux density was at the maximum of 0.27T. The results were almost equal to the ones from numerical analysis.
