  4. Thermal Analysis NICI Cryogenic Requirements • Maintain optics and baffling at a temperature that will result in the background seen by the detector, emitted by the optics and baffles, is below 50% of the sky background. • Maintain the two detectors at the desired operating temperature of 30-35 K to within +- 0.1 K • Have a cooldown time and a warm up time of less than two days. • Use Closed Cycle Coolers

  5. Thermal Analysis Temperature goals • Cold Structure warmest temperature 75 K • Detector operating temperature 30 K • Radiation Shield warmest 150 K

  6. Thermal Analysis Calculated Thermal Loads • Radiation shield 64 watts • Cold Structure 11 watts • Array1 0.518 watts • Array2 0.767 watts
