Summary:A high-power coaxial pulse tube refrigerator has been designed, fabricated and tested to meet the requirements of liquefaction and re-condensation of xenon gas for a large liquid xenon calorimeter. A feature of this pulse tube refrigerator is that a cylindrical regenerator placed inside of the pulse tube for space saving and easy fabrication. It provides a cooling power of 70 W at 165 K by using a 2.2 kW GM-type compressor. The cooling power performance up to 120 W using a much larger compressor was also tested. The outer cylinder is a stainless steel pipe of 60 mm diameter, 180 mm in length and 0.5 mm in thickness. The regenerator consists of about 900 disk sheets of #300 stainless steel mesh packed in a Bakelite tube.
