LXe Cryogenic system at KEK Gas handling panel 0.75m3 Tank PT Cryocooler 700W compressor Test chamber
Cooling test of miniature PT Cryocooler -PTRPDC08(8W at 77K:Iwatani) -Air cooled compressor (700W at 50Hz) -20W at 147K confirmed →24W at 165K
Cooling, Liquefaction, Pump circulation test Foil heater PT100 50mm 50mm 10mm Results: - 19 hrs for 1.2L liquefy by PT cryocooler only - ~0.16L/h liquefaction speed - ~2 L/min of pump circulation for purification
Summary and plan New cryogenic system for LXe experiments at KEK: - For basic investigation of LXe properties -All-round studies on impurity - Verify LXe purification technique - Technology to handle a large amount of LXe in future
