- Description
- Specifications Combined Synopsis Solicitation TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Each unit must meet the following technical specifications: 1. Cold stage base temperature less than 1K or colder 2. Run time: at least 24 hours or greater continuously with 100 microwatt thermal load at 1K or colder 3. Cycle time (<1K to 4 K back to <1K): less than 90 minutes 4. Fully compatible with our existing air-cooled, Gifford-McMahon cryocooler (Sumitomo model #SRDK-101D), which can reach a base temperature of 3 K and has a cooling power of 100 mW at 4.2K 5. RuO2 thermometer fitted to the base plate 6. Diode thermometry to pumps and switches supplied by vendor 7. All wiring carried to an MDM micro-D connector, or equivalent, mounted on unit 8. The entire unit must be less than 9" tall, less than 2.5" deep and no more than 4.5" wide. 9. The 1K pot cannot be larger than 2" in diameter 10. Mounting area of the cooler / footprint for attaching the cooler to the plate that is cooled by the second stage of the mechanical cooler must be less than 3 square-inches. 11. The system (or similar units) must have a demonstrated record of being used to cool devices below 1K. 12. The manufacturer must have sold similar units and have a track record of good after-market customer support, e.g., repairs and spare parts. References/past customers must be available upon request. TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS The compact, closed-cycle cryogenic cooling systems must fit into our existing cryocoolers inside the 5" diameter 4K can. Therefore, there are stringent requirements on the dimensions of these units. The entire unit must be less than 9" tall, less than 2.5" deep and no more than 4.5" in wide. In addition, the 1K pot cannot be larger than 2" in diameter. The mounting area for attaching the cooler needs to be minimal (less than 3 square-inches) to accommodate wiring and optical fibers in our small existing cryostat design.
