Abstract

See full text

There is provided refrigeration system (1) and method for remote cooling of a thermal load having a first portion (27) and a second portion (25). The system comprises a cold source (4) having a first cooling stage (5) and a second cooling stage (6), the temperature of the first cooling stage being higher than the temperature of the second cooling stage. The system also comprises a cryogen circuit for circulation of a cryogen flow in a closed cycle, the closed cycle being thermally coupled to the cold source. The system further comprises a compressor (7) for compressing and circulating the cryogen flow in the cryogen circuit. The cryogen circuit comprises a first conduit for thermally connecting the first cooling stage of the cold source to the first portion of the thermal load so as to cool said first portion towards the temperature of the first cooling stage, and a second conduit for thermally connecting the second cooling stage of the cold source to the second portion of the thermal load so as to cool said second portion to wards the temperature of the second cooling stage. The cryogen flow in the system is a sub-cooled or saturated liquid, two phase, saturated or overheated, supercritical gas helium flow.
