Abstract

Due to a cryogenic leak in the main cryostat, the cooling power required for the operation of the AGOR cryogenic system is significantly larger than originally expected. Although the liquefier has been upgraded substantially, it has to operate at maximum capacity under certain conditions. Measurements indicate that the maximum capacity is well. below the rated capacity. A thermodynamic model of the Liquefier has been developed to gain a better insight in the operation of the system. Due to a lack of diagnostics in the liquefier no detailed comparison between model and liquefier is possible, yet clear discrepancies are found.
