The Energy Saver Refrigeration System is based on the concept of a central helium liquefier (5000 l/hr) providing liquid to 24 satellite refrigerators (966 W at 4.6/degree/K), which operate as amplifiers with a gain of 12. This concept was tested, cooling two 125 m long strings of superconducting magnets. The test was run using one satellite refrigerator operating as the ''central liquefier'', shipping liquid helium through a 250 m long transfer line to a second satellite refrigerator, which in turn cooled the magnets. In addition to testing the satellite concept, the heat loads of the magnets and transfer line were also measured. 3 refs.
