Thermautonome

ThermAutonome Station: Cryogenic loop coupled with a cryocooler

Context

Characterization of single phase and two-phase flows (by measurements of pressure drop and wall temperature) along a vertical test section (h = 30 cm), in the ranges of temperature and pressure: 3 K ≤ T ≤ 30 K, P ≤ 3 bars.

Technical means

Circulation loop with recondensation by means of a cryogenerator (cryogenerator power of 1.5 W at T = 4.2 K, dissipative power in the loop of 4 W at T = 10 K),
Automated measurement / acquisition sequences.

Achievements, related projects

Implementation of different types of flows in the framework of R&D projects,
Study of the WAVE magnet cooling system.

Technical steps, expertise

Automated data acquisition.
