MODULAR COOLING FARM FOR CRYOGENIC APPLICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240200846 titled 'MODULAR COOLING FARM FOR CRYOGENIC APPLICATION
The patent application relates to a system for cooling a component within a cryostat chamber using a cooling plate and a cooling feed line thermally coupled to the plate.
- The system includes a bulk cooling system that uses a liquifiable gas for cooling, fluidly coupled to the cooling feed line.
- A vacuum pump is placed at the cooling return line outside the cryostat, physically decoupled from the cryostat by a section of the return line.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in scientific research facilities for cooling sensitive components. - It can also be applied in medical equipment that requires precise temperature control.
Problems Solved: - Provides efficient cooling for components within a cryostat chamber. - Ensures stable and controlled temperatures for sensitive equipment.
Benefits: - Enhanced cooling capabilities for critical components. - Improved performance and longevity of equipment.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Cooling System for Scientific and Medical Equipment This technology can be utilized in research laboratories, medical imaging devices, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the cooling feed line maintain thermal coupling with the cooling plate?
The cooling feed line is thermally coupled to the cooling plate through a heat exchanger, ensuring efficient heat transfer.
2. What are the advantages of using a liquifiable gas in the bulk cooling system?
Liquifiable gas provides effective cooling properties and can be easily replenished for continuous operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and/or methods provided herein relate to cooling of a component within a chamber of a cryostat. a system can comprise a cryostat having a cooling plate disposed within the cryostat, and a cooling feed line extending into the cryostat from external to the cryostat, which cooling feed line is thermally coupled to the cooling plate by a heat exchanger. in one or more embodiments, the system further can comprise a bulk cooling system that employs a liquifiable gas to provide cooling, wherein the bulk cooling system is fluidly coupled to the cooling feed line. in one or more embodiments, the system further can comprise a vacuum pump disposed at the cooling return line and external to the cryostat and physically decoupled from the cryostat by a section of the cooling return line disposed between the cryostat and the vacuum pump.
