Description
Since the end of the last decade, projects requiring a high refrigeration power below 4.5K are flourishing around the world. This increase in refrigeration capacities at temperatures close to 2K represents a real challenge for cryogenic plants design and operation. In a few years Air Liquide Advanced Technologies supported customers in not less than six major new projects ranging from 900W up to 4.2kW power at 2K. The particular operation of the 2K cavities necessitates a high flexibility in terms of operation range but also a high reliability cryogenic plant to ensure smooth and long term operation. Therefore during conceptual phases, one of the key factors is the right selection of the process scheme to optimize the proposed solution.
The aim of this paper is to present the advantage of the selected solutions and to give an overview of the critical design aspects focusing on the last references.
