LC1055 Linear Cryocooler (1/3 Watt)

Carleton Life Support Systems Inc. is a leading manufacturer of high-quality, long-life, linear Stirling Cycle Cryocoolers for domestic and foreign military applications.

The LC1055 linear cryocooler shown has been qualified and approved by Generation I HIRE OEM Raytheon for use on new production, and as an upgrade for previously fielded Gen I HIRE systems. It features form, fit, and function compatibility with the original, and now obsolete, rotary cryocoolers (Hughes models 7014 and 7024) that were originally specified for the system. The upgrading of any of the IR systems referenced below with the LC1055 linear cryocooler will most noticeably result in a significant reduction in noise and vibration output. Still, the single largest benefit is an increase in reliability from typically less than 1,500 hours to 8,000 hours, which will result in significantly lower lifetime operation and support costs.

Applications

USMC LAV-25 and LAV-105, Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) LAV-25, Canadian REECE LAV-25E, Australian LAV-25 (ASLAV), Scimtar (UK), and US Army Bradley Fighting Vehicles.
