Regenerator performance greatly affects the coefficient of performance of cryocoolers.

Improvements in regenerator design and, in particular, regenerator materials have been an important factor in the improvement of the performance of cryocoolers below 10K.

A regenerator is typically an arrangement or matrix of solid material that transfers heat to and from the working fluid of the refrigeration cycle.

Regenerators may be thought of as a type of “heat sponge” for the oscillatory flows found in cryocooler cycles. During one stage of the cycle, the cold working fluid passes through the regenerator material, absorbing heat and cooling the regenerator. During the next stage, the now warmer working fluid transfers heat to the cold regenerator and is cooled back down.
