Thermoacoustic refrigeration is an emerging ‘green’ technology based upon the purposeful use of high-pressure sound waves to provide cooling. This paper describes the development of a thermoacoustic refrigerator built with the aim of using domestic ‘off the shelf’ parts where possible. The key considerations and tools used in the design and development of the thermoacoustic refrigerator are discussed, and results detailing the performance of the device obtained from direct measurements and computer modelling are compared.
