DRAFT<br />

The task of the cryogenic system is to provide the superconducting coils and the cryogenic installations<br />

with the required amount of liquid helium. In the next paragraphs the cryogenic system<br />

is described in detail consisting of<br />

• the refrigerator,<br />

• the distribution system,<br />

2.4.A4.2 The Refrigerator<br />

Over the last forty years helium refrigeration technology enhanced toward higher reliability and<br />

efficiency and lower capital cost. All the major components of the FAIR helium refrigerators have<br />

been successfully demonstrated in similar systems [104]. With improved components within the<br />

refrigerators nowadays the main suppliers for Helium refrigerators offer plants up to 31 kW.<br />

2.4.A4.2.1 Basic <strong>Design</strong><br />

The cryogenic system of FAIR will consist of two main helium branches which will work independently<br />

in the beginning, but will be cold connected in the ongoing of the project. In addition<br />

there will be a cryogenic plant that supplies the series and string test facility also an independent<br />

small liquefier for liquid helium supply with transport dewars.<br />
