Project X Workshop - Cryogenics4 Design Concept Cryogenic plant –All major components of the Project X helium cryogenic plant have been used successfully in similar systems before –The special challenge of the Project X refrigeration system is to satisfy several demands of covering a wide range of heat loads. As operation at reduced capacity ( RF systems are turned off) can occur for extended time periods, it ’ s too expensive to compensate the heat load by electrical heating at 2 K

Project X Workshop - Cryogenics5 Design Concept (cont’d) Cryogenic Distribution System –Cryogenic string Up to 12 cryo modules –Two cryogenic units Upstream unit at 4.5K (?) – One cryo string Downstream unit at 2K – Four cryo strings Ancillary Systems –Industrially available components

Project X Workshop - Cryogenics19 CONCLUSIONS We are seeking contributions from other laboratories to help address Project X design challenges Project X cryogenic system operating temperatures and pressure levels are largely determined by the choice of the ILC style cryomodules Most of the design challenges are similar to those that ILC and XFEL are faced with. Addressing these design challenges will benefit projects that utilize long strings of the ILC cryomodules Project X cryogenic system is technically feasible
