[0003] Stirling refrigerators are driven by oil-free linear compressors, which have high potential efficiency and high power density. The single-stage refrigeration technology in the temperature range above 40K is mature and has been widely used. However, the multi-stage architecture operating in the deep low temperature range will increase the length of the ejector, making it difficult to ensure the coaxiality between the ejector and the cylinder, resulting in reduced life and reliability. At present, multi-stage Stirling refrigerators cannot reach the temperature range below 10K.
