Notice Title
Cryogenic Helium Gas Circulation System
Notice Description
University of Strathclyde is pursuing research and development activities in the field of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) cable and coil. A cryocooler based Helium circulation system is to be designed, commissioned, tested and installed. The equipment is required to absorb heat loads of HTS application. The circulation system will provide cold helium at 70 K to 20 K, >= 16 bar (a) at outlet with mass flow rate of >= 23 g/s.
Lot Information
Lot 1
This procurement is to appoint a supplier to provide the following; The system is to cool helium gas to cryogenic temperatures and circulate in a closed loop through a vessel (not included) containing a superconducting device. The helium gas system is required to remove heat from the superconducting device: 50 W of heat at 30 K- 50 K and 20 W of heat at 20 K. Heat leakage in the system is not included. The system consists of: 1. A vacuumed Vessel with a single cryocooler and a cryofan. The vessel will be hosted in a wheeled trolley. The vessel will incorporate two extra ports for additional cold heads if required later; 2. A pair of gas line (to superconducting device and from superconducting device); 3. A pair of manifold gas line for a second superconducting device; 4. Heat exchanger to transfer heat from the helium to the cold head; 5. Circulating fan which can control the flow rate and gas temperature; 6. Transfer lines to carry helium between the cryostat and the application vessel (maximum length 3 m each); 7. System Design and analysis; 8. Assembly and test.
Options: The University reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations. The University may at is sole discretion exercise this option.
