Abstract
The transient behavior of Joule-Thomson cryocolers has received less attention than their steady state performance, and its description occupies the shortest chapter in this book, with the shortest list of references. Most of the present chapter is devoted to the cooldown phase because of its practical relevance for miniature Joule-Thomson cryocoolers. The significance of the cooldown phase can be recognized in two regards:
