Abstract
A superfluid Stirling refrigerator cooled to 168 mK using a 4.9% 3He-4He mixture and exhausting its waste heat at 383 mK. Cooling power versus temperature and speed is presented for 4.9%, 17%, and 36% mixtures. At the highest concentration, a dissipation mechanism of unknown origin is observed.
