Abstract - This paper deals with design and fabrication of Thermoacoustic refrigerator. Fabrications of different
components used in refrigerator are discussed along with reasons for the same. The major components of
Thermoacoustic refrigerators are Resonator Tube, Stack and Acoustic Driver. Experimentation showed that
cooling with the help of Thermoacoustic is possible but it was difficult for us to achieve higher efficiency due to
restriction of materials.
Index Terms - Thermoacoustic, Stack, Resonator.
2.4. Stack
Stack is the main component of Thermoacoustic
refrigerator across which temperature gradient is
obtained. The amount acoustic power that can be used
