Abstract
A refrigerator comprising a cold finger having an expansion space and a first compression space defined by a displacer, a regenerator connected to the expansion space and the first compression space, a cylinder having a second compression space and a buffer space defined by a piston, and a communicating tube connecting the first compression space to the second compression space. The working space thus defined is filled with the working gas so that a thermodynamic cycle can be generated in the working gas within the working space to generate coldness within the expansio space by reciprocatingly moving the piston and the displacer with a predetermined phase relationship therebetween. The refrigerator further comprises a first passage having a check valve between the working space and the buffer space, and a second connecting passage connecting the drain space and the buffer space. A hydrostatic displacer bearing is provided for hydrostatically supporting the displacer against the cold finger utilizing a differential pressure of the working gas between the working space and the drain space.
