1-3 General Arrangement

The Qdrive 1S102D Driver is designed to drive Stirling or acoustic Stirling (displacerless) coldheads
by mechanically compressing and acoustically expanding helium gas for the Stirling cycle. It can also
be DRIVEN by a Stirling engine pressure wave. The driver can be used with other acoustic loads or
sources as well, but regardless of the type of load, maximum pV output cannot be obtained unless the
load is matched to the driver.

1-3-1 Physical Description

The 1S102D driver consists of a 1S102M STAR™ resonant linear motor-alternator, with a piston that
inserts into a matching cylinder. The motor and cylinder are pre-assembled. The small annular gap (≤
0.001 inch) between the piston O.D. and the cylinder I.D. forms a non-contacting clearance seal,
acoustically isolating the front side of the piston from the back side. For most applications, the
cylinder is itself mounted into an assembly that includes a pressure vessel enclosing the motor, and
enclosing a load which is addressed by the front side of the piston. The 1S102D may be used with any
combination of inert gases, such as helium and argon, and other common gases such as air and

4
 Operation Manual: 1S102D-22398-A
nitrogen, within its normal operating temperatures. Hydrogen should not be used with the 1S102D as it
will destroy the magnets.

1-3-3 Operation Principle

The driver operates as follows (motor mode):
1. Alternating voltage is applied to the motors. Current flows through the motor windings,
causing a magnetic field in the iron they surround.
2. The applied field, oscillating between two orientations with the reversing electrical input,
pushes and pulls on permanent magnets mounted on the moving assembly, (called the piston-
plunger).
3. When the applied voltage frequency is close to the resonant frequency of the motors and load
(combined!), the pistons oscillate and power is delivered through the pistons to the acoustic
load by phase separation of the current and piston displacement.
4. Typically, when connected to an acoustic load like a cryogenic coldhead, helium gas is
cyclically compressed and expanded relative to the mean (charge pressure) by the pistons of
the driver to power a thermodynamic cycle for refrigeration.
5. The driver motors and coldhead heat exchangers are usually cooled by local water. USE OF A
COOLED ACOUSTIC LOAD, INCLUDING A HEAT EXCHANGER NEAR THE DRIVER
INTERFACE IS ESSENTIAL FOR FULL-POWER OPERATION OF DRIVER WITHOUT
AUXILIARY COOLING BY USER

The driver operates as follows when used as an alternator:

6. Alternating pressure is applied to the pistons. The force of the pressure (and associated gas
flow) causes the pistons to oscillate. NOTE: the frequency of oscillation is a system variable –
applied pressure frequency must be close to the system resonance for effective operation.
7. The oscillatory movement causes changing flux links between the magnets moving with the
piston and the iron stator.
8. The reversing flux changes in the iron induce voltage in the windings.
9. If connected to a load resistance, the voltage causes current to flow and power to be delivered
from the alternator.
10. Power factor (phase of voltage and current) can be corrected by use of an appropriate capacitor
in series with the alternator and load. Use only motor-run type capacitors of sufficient voltage
rating.

2 INSTALLATION & SET UP

2-1 Unpacking 1S102D
Carefully open top of container and remove packing materials. Lift driver out without straining
attached cables.

2-2 Site Conditions & Services

• Do not install 1S102D in an area subject to splashing water and/or dust.

5
 Operation Manual: 1S102D-22398-A
• Install 1S102D in a ventilated area free from any exhausted heat accumulation (from the 1S102D
itself or other source).
• Do not place heat sensitive objects in surroundings of 1S102D.

2-2-1 Ambient Temperature Condition

The ambient temperature must be between 32°F (0°C) and 86 °F (30°C) to get the specified capacity.
The maximum relative humidity is 95%.

< Warning about overheating >

The (user-supplied) surface enclosing the motor should not exceed 45 C. If
passive convection proves inadequate in a particular installation, this must be
ensured by user-supplied active water-cooling (tubing wrapped around the
housing) or by active air-cooling. Failure to provide adequate cooling to the
housing could result in damage to the motor.

2-2-3 Power Source

Ensure the correct power source (or load) is available for the 1S102D. See Table 1.1 for the system
power requirements. Power source for motor mode use should have continuously variable voltage, to
ensure safe startup.

2-3 Electrical Power Supply Connections

< Warning about electric shock >

Make sure the power supply conforms to 1S102D power specifications before
using equipment. Using the 1S102D with a non-conforming power supply may
result in shock or malfunction.

See Table 1.1 for power requirements. Driver has two pigtail cables, one black and one white,
connected to the motor coils.

3 OPERATION PROCEDURES
3-1 Set Up
The 1S102D driver should be firmly mounted with its mounting holes away from sources of heat, dust,
or moisture. IMPORTANT: unit requires some convective cooling on motor housing! The
ambient temperature should not exceed 35°C, and the relative humidity should not exceed 95%.

Connect electrical power source as described in Table 1.1 and section 2-3. Connect water source as
described in section 2-2, if required.

6
 Operation Manual: 1S102D-22398-A

3-2 Start Up
If driver is operated as a motor with an unknown load, apply voltage very slowly and monitor stroke.
DO NOT OPERATE driver if it overstrokes (plunger contacting end stops). Stroke and applied
voltage are not proportional when load is changed.

If operated as an alternator, a suitable non-linear load must be applied to maintain safe stroke. A
fixed-value resistor is NOT suitable, as its power absorption is quadratic with voltage (and therefore
also with stroke): no stable crossover point exists between source and load with identical dependencies
on the linking variable.

Operation should be very smooth, with relatively low noise and vibration, as long as the 1S102D is
secured to a rigid or sufficiently massive object (since the 1S102D is a single-motor driver, it has
unbalanced moving mass). If significant noise or vibration is observed, discontinue operation and
consult CHART. Operation should also be stopped if cooling ceases for any reason. Overheating and
damage of components can occur very quickly in the absence of active cooling.

3-3 Shut Down

To shut down driver, simply turn off voltage source. This can be done abruptly. Unit can normally be
restarted at any time, or shut on and off repeatedly, without damage.

Any payment, offer of payment, or agreement to make a payment that
is contrary to the laws of the United States or the laws of the country in
which it is made, or any other payment in conflict with this clause, will
constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and any obligation of
Seller hereunder shall automatically terminate upon such breach
without further liability to Seller. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and
hold Seller harmless from and against any and all damages and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from Purchaser’s
violation of the requirements referenced in this Section.
19. Governing Law and Arbitration This Agreement (including the
Limited Warranty Statement) and any claim, controversy or dispute
arising under or related to the Agreement, the relationship of the parties,
and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the
parties is exclusively governed by the laws of the State of Georgia,
excluding its conflicts of law principles and excluding the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
Purchaser waives all causes of action arising under this Agreement after
one year from the date of the occurrence of the event giving rise to any
such claim, waives any sovereign immunity claims or defenses, and
consents to and will not contest personal jurisdiction in the local and
federal courts of Atlanta. Except for account collection disputes, any
disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or the breach thereof which cannot be resolved amicably
within 60 days, shall be settled by binding arbitration. This agreement
to submit to binding arbitration shall be specifically enforceable under
the prevailing arbitration law. The award of the arbitrator shall be final,
and a judgment may be entered upon it by any court having jurisdiction.
A party desiring to invoke this arbitration provision shall serve written
notice upon the other of its intention to do so and the name of an
impartial individual who is knowledgeable in matters pertaining to
Seller’s industry to serve as an arbitrator. If the other party objects
within 15 days to the arbitrator proposed, and the parties fail to agree on
an arbitrator within 30 days thereafter, then the arbitrator shall be
appointed by the arbitration tribunal. For domestic sales, the arbitration
shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing. For
international sales, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
the International Arbitration Rules then prevailing of the International
Centre for Dispute Resolution. Unless the parties agree otherwise, all
arbitrations shall be conducted and all related documents submitted
shall be in the English language in Atlanta, Georgia, and the arbitrator
shall apply the substantive governing laws as specified above. All
awards granted by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the
parties, and shall include interest from the date of any breach or default
and from the date of the award until paid in full. Judgment may be
entered on any award or decision of the arbitration panel by either party
in a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may grant
emergency interim relief according to the applicable arbitration rules,
and shall award costs, fees and other expenses of the arbitration,
including reasonable attorney’s fees, to the party not in default. If
Purchaser fails to promptly assume Seller’s defense when requested to
do so as required under this Agreement, then Seller may defend with
counsel of its own choice at the expense of Purchaser.
20. Miscellaneous The Agreement as defined in Section 1 (including
the Limited Warranty Statement) constitutes the complete and
exclusive agreement between Seller and Purchaser and there are no
agreements, understandings, restrictions, warranties, or representations
between Seller and Purchaser other than those set forth herein. If any
provision, or any part thereof, of this Agreement is found by any court
or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, then such provision shall be
deemed revised and applied to the maximum extent allowed by
applicable law, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
the remainder of such provision or any other provision here which shall
remain in full force and effect. All obligations herein shall survive
termination, expiration or completion of this Agreement. No term or
condition is intended for the benefit of any third party, and Seller and
Purchaser do not intend any term or condition to be enforceable by a
third party, including any end user of Equipment or Services. Seller’s
failure on any occasion to insist on strict performance of any term or
condition hereof shall not constitute a waiver of compliance with such
term or condition on any other occasion or a waiver of any default.
References to any statutory provision, enactment, order, regulation or
other similar instrument shall be construed as a reference to the
statutory provision, enactment, order, regulation or instrument as
amended, replaced, consolidated or re-enacted from time to time and
shall include any orders, regulations, codes of practice, instruments or
other subordinate legislation made under it. The headings used
throughout are for convenience only and shall be given no legal effect.
Fax copies shall be given the full force and effect as an original.
