what we do
Our Services - decision tree

We develop innovative refrigeration solutions. For example, the Free-Piston Stirling Cooler (FPSC) developed by Global Cooling has a high energy efficiency and uses earth friendly cooling substances. If you feel your refrigeration products are in need of major innovation, please contact us. Together we can change the way the world cools!

A Free Piston Stirling Cooler (FPSC) is a single phase cooling device that moves heat from a cool source to a warm sink with the help of external heat exchangers. Applications of FPSCs range from exotic deep temperature units to machines that perform well in domestic applications, such as home refrigerators.

A FPSC differs from a compressor system in that the refrigerant is not pumped into the space that is to be cooled. Rather, a Stirling cooler has a cold head, where heat is transferred into the machine, and a warm head, where heat is transferred out of the machine. External heat exchangers are used to transfer heat from the refrigerated space to the Stirling and are simply clamped onto the appropriate head. External heat exchangers are customized for the specific needs of each application, but typically come in the form of a thermosyphon, pumped fluid loop, or forced air and fin system.

Global Cooling’s Free Piston Stirling Cooler (FPSC) technology is currently available in 40 and 100 Watt capacities. Soon, new FPSC coolers will become available in capacities up to 300Watts. The chart below outlines some of the current and soon to be released FPSC performance data.
