Brown, D. P.

A report is given of the refrigeration system proposed for ISABELLE. The system features a single refrigerator of about 25 kW capacity. The refrigerant helium is supplied to the 960 ISABELLE Magnets at a pressure of 15 atm and a temperature of 2.8⁰K. The return to the refrigerator is at 14.3 atm and a 6.2⁰K. As many as 60 magnets will be cooled in series. The steady-state design temperature for the warmest magnet is 4.3⁰K. This temperature will rise to 4.5⁰K during the acceleration cycle.
