V. Pugatch CBM Collaboration Meeting, Dubna, Oct Cooling infrastructure Thermo-mechanical tests with dummy silicon samples glued by silicon glue onto the supporting frames: perfect mechanical rigidity for all supporting frames but one thermo-conductivity appr. 0.6 W/m*deg in the longitudinal direction A special design has been developed for investigating cooling by circulating a liquid agent in hollow plates. Currently such structure didn’t show needed mechanical stability. It might be improved at the price of increasing the transversal size of the frame up to 5 mm (keeping material budget still within a required 0.3 X0 ).
