Abstract
A heat station for a GM or Stirling cycle expander provides heat transfer from a remote load at cryogenic temperatures that is cooled by a circulating cryogen to the gas in a GM or Stirling cycle expander as the cryogen between a regenerator and a displaced volume. The heat exchanger includes a shell that has external and internal fins thermally connected to the shell that are aligned parallel to the axis of the shell and enclosed in a housing having an inlet port and an outlet port on the bottom of the housing.
