Water adsorbtion • Layer 1 micron – – 5 × 1022 H 2 O Load 10 -4 mbar l/s Epsilon: 0. 1 → 0. 2 2 years • Note the following – Adsorbtion non uniform – Heat load non uniform Emissivity of S. St.
Summary • Preliminary design for short cryo links – Length 2. 5 m, diameter 1 m – Capacity about 2 years for 1 micron layer – Reduced heat load • Lower gas load, less bubbles, less nois • Lower LN 2 consumption – Effect on mirrors – Reduced cost • Test set-up – Operations • Closed loop condensor – Bubbles – Etc.
