DRAFT<br />

Since the weight of the cold mass in a multiplet is by a factor of 10 larger than in the dipole units,<br />

the cooldown time of the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS superconducting magnets is mainly determined by the time<br />

which is needed to cool down 23 multiplets and some 10 individually located quadrupoles and<br />

hexapoles; in total about 1100 tons cold mass. Experience from NSCL, MSU shows that the single<br />

A1900 dipole which has a similar size compared to the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS dipole could be cooled down to<br />

liquid helium temperature within one day. Therefore one needs to specify cooling capacity for the<br />

FAIR refrigerator CRYO1 in order to cool down about 1100 tons cold mass (about 100 tons for 28<br />

dipoles included) in the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS within a reasonable cooldown time. In fact, the total weight of<br />

1100 tons cold mass in the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS is about one-fourth of the cold mass of 4600 tons of one<br />

LHC sector. The preliminary specification of cooling capacity for the FAIR refrigerator CRYO1<br />

has been based on the specification of the LHC sector refrigerator (18 kW at 4.5 K).<br />

The FAIR refrigerator CRYO1 is specified to provide cooling power of 3.5 kW at 4.5 K. This<br />

corresponds to a maximum helium mass flow rate of 235 g/s available at the cycle compressors.<br />

From 300 K to about 220 K, the cooling power of the refrigerator CRYO1 is specified to be about<br />

110 kW at its maximum capacity which is mainly contributed by the LN2 pre-cooling in the first<br />

heat exchanger of the CRYO1 cold box. Figure 2.4.131 shows the assumed cooling power capacity<br />

change of the CRYO1 refrigerator over the refrigeration temperature from 300 K to 10 K which is<br />

based on the commissioning results of the LHC 18 kW refrigerator.<br />
