Key Highlights

A cryocooler is a device that provides active cooling to reach cryogenic temperatures. According to the Cryogenic Society of America Inc., a cryogenic cooler or a cryocooler is designed to allow active cooling at about -150 °C. It uses the flow of gas inside closed tubes, which absorbs the temperature and radiates it outside. The device generally uses helium or a mixture of gases. These devices produce refrigeration at a specific low temperature that can replace normal cryogenic fluids. There are many types of cryocoolers, including Stirling, pulse tube, Gifford-McMahon (GM), and Joule-Thomson.
One of the major factors driving the adoption of cryocoolers is its growing adoption across the military and defense industries to maintain cryogenic temperatures for IR sensors installed in night-vision-based systems.
