Figures on this page are engineering design targets and reference-architecture values, not measured results from operating hardware. They state what the design is being engineered to achieve. Verified performance data will replace them as systems are built and tested. Nothing here should be relied upon as a performance warranty.
4.5 K helium refrigeration
Delivers continuous cold power to the magnet set. This load is the largest continuous parasitic draw on the plant and cannot be interrupted without losing the magnets.
80 K intermediate shields
Thermal shields intercept radiant heat before it reaches the 4.5 K circuit, reducing refrigeration duty by roughly an order of magnitude.
Surge volume capacity
A magnet quench deposits stored magnetic energy into the helium inventory as heat. Surge volumes absorb that transient without venting inventory.
Liquefier sizing
Liquefier capacity is sized for full plant cooldown within a defined outage window, since cooldown time is on the critical path after any warm-up.
Interfaces the magnet set, the cryostat vacuum boundary, and plant electrical. Cryoplant state, compressor health, and helium inventory are continuously supervised; loss-of-cold is a protective trip path with defined operator response.
