Bronze Mesh for Cryocoolers

The bronze wire mesh can be used for cryocoolers. The 325mesh phosphor bronze wire mesh are among the commercially fillers for use in small-scale regenerators and heat exchangers.

Experiments were performed in test sections in which pressure variations across these fillers, in the axial and lateral directions, were measured under steady and oscillatory flows.

The results confirmed the importance of anisotropy in the bronze wire mesh fillers, and indicated differences between the directional hydrodynamic resistance parameters for steady and oscillating flow regimes.
