Dry Dilution Refrigerators (DDR) based on pulse tube cryo-coolers have
started to replace Wet Dilution Refrigerators (WDR) due to the ease and low
cost of operation. However these advantages come at the cost of increased
vibrations, induced by the pulse tube. In this work, we present the vibration
measurements performed on three different commercial DDRs. We describe in
detail the vibration measurement system we assembled, based on commercial
accelerometers, conditioner and DAQ, and examined the effects of the various
damping solutions utilized on three different DDRs, both in the low and high
frequency regions. Finally, we ran low temperature, pseudo-massive (30 and 250
g) germanium bolometers in the best vibration-performing system under study and
report on the results
