The Cooling of a Liquid Absorber using a Small Cooler

Abstract: This report discusses the use of small cryogenic coolers for cooling the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) liquid cryogen absorbers. Since the absorber must be able contain liquid helium as well liquid hydrogen, the characteristics of the available 4.2 K coolers are used here. The issues associated with connecting two-stage coolers to liquid absorbers are discussed. The projected heat flows into an absorber and the cool-down of the absorbers using the cooler are presented. The warm-up of the absorber i… Show more

“…This means that heat must be applied to the second stage cold head in order to control the absorber temperature. The heat that goes into a well-insulated MICE absorber is of the order of 1 to 1.5 watts [13]. (A heat leak of 2 W is the worst case that one can stand over an indefinite period of time.)…”

“…The vacuum around a liquid absorber is separate from the magnet vacuum or the MICE vacuum. The absorber 4-K cooler [2] and two 4-K magnet coolers [7] are also mounted on the top of the AFC module, which is between two RFCC modules or between an RFCC module and a tracker module ( See FIG. 1).…”

“…The three focusing modules each contain a liquid hydrogen absorber [4] that is cooled using a single PT415 cooler that generates about 20 W of cooling at 20 K. The absorber cooler will be connected to the absorber through a hydrogen thermal siphon circuit [5]. It is hoped that the cooler will liquefy hydrogen into the absorber.…”
