Abstract
A refrigeration system/cycle includes two or more refrigeration stages, in which one or more of the warmer stages provide(s) cooling to partially compensate for heat leakage that would otherwise leak to the colder stage(s). The refrigeration system includes a single heat sink or multiple heat sinks. The refrigeration cycle can include a single cooling load or multiple cooling loads. The refrigeration system can be a cryogenic refrigeration cycle. The flow of working fluid can be DC (direct-current, continuous and uni-directional) or AC (alternating-current and oscillating). The refrigeration system can include Double-Cycle cooling action. The refrigeration system can include one (or more) thermal storage unit(s) (TSUs).
