Thermal control • Heat Sources/Sinks • Damping fiberglass supports • Copper strips/connecting Kapton (100 lines (15µm x 120µm) : • - From Moly support to thermal screen (5cm) • - From Thermal screen to (15cm) • Black body radiation vessel screen + cold plate9.2W • Neglected • N2 Transfer lines • Cold finger for detector protection against dust • Kapton conduction • Detector and electronic Roger Haroutunian
Thermal control • Uncertainties • Quality of thermal connection at interfaces • Evolution of conductivity and capacity as a function of temperature • ( Litterature may be off. ) Roger Haroutunian

Input power (Impact/Moly support) Roger Haroutunian
Power:parameters Radiation from vessel Steal: emissivity 0.11 (300°K) -Assume all power absorbed by cold plate/thermal screen -Value is overestimated : -geometry -thermal screen (Al) with good reflectivity, reducing absorbed power Main source of N2 consumption Thermal damping support : ~ 1,4 W impact/N2 consumption (conduction) no effect/Moly temperature Roger Haroutunian
Power:parameters • Strip conductionFrom cold entry point (spacer) to Molybden: • modifies the operating temperature • From room temperature to cold entry spacer • N2 consumption • Heating Resistorsfrom 0 to 500 mW T regulation • Power for H1RG ~ a few mW • Vacuum heat power linear with pressure • WARNING / uncontrolled vacum loss: no safety • slow vaccum loss : no safety system implemented Roger Haroutunian
Thermal control M(Moly) =370g Heating resistors P_Moly~100mW(90K) P_Moly~500mW(140K) Roger Haroutunian
N2 Consumption • 1.4 l TOTAL to cool • cold plate to ~140K • 0.2 l/h to stabilize • the temperature • Insensitive to Power • flux on Moly Cooling stopped Roger Haroutunian
Connecting strips Kapton fiberglass spacers(4022) • 1 spacer on cold plate • 1 spacer on thermal screen • Red curve : fiberglass temperature • Perfect thermal contact assumed Roger Haroutunian
