The JWST cryocooler is based originally on the TRW ACTDP cryocooler.[1] However, the JWST has had to develop a version to handle higher thermal loads.[10] It has a multi-stage pulse tube refrigerator that chills an even more powerful cooler.[9] That is a linear-motion Oxford-style compressor that powers a J-T loop.[10] Its target is to cool the MIRI instrument down to 6 kelvins (−448.87 °F, or −267.15 °C).[9] The ISIM is at about 40 K (due to the sunshield) and there is a dedicated MIRI radiation shield beyond which the temperature is 20 K.[9] The J-T loop is a Joule–Thomson loop heat exchanger.[3]
