In this paper, the second stage interface is independently engaged by means of a bolted flange and a bellows, and a soft metal such as indium is employed at the contact surfaces of the heat stations.
Abstract
Demountable cryocoller cold heads must make reliable contacts having low thermal resistance at cryogenic temperatures for cooling such devices as radiation shields used in superconducting magnets. Cryostat vacuum and a bellows is utilized in order to engage the cold head second stage interface, while the first stage interface is independently engaged by means of a bolted flange and a bellows. A soft metal such as indium is employed at the contact surfaces of the heat stations.
