The concept of common cryogenic supply for experimental devices

Abstract
The article describes the concept when one cryogenic helium refrigerator is employed for continuous simultaneous cooling of several experimental devices operating at different temperature levels. In the offered scheme of a multiuser cryogenic system the temperature mode of the cryogenic unit does not depend on the operation modes of the experimental devices served by it, as they possess individual helium circulation circuits.

Keywords: cryogenic experimental device, multiuser cryogenic system.
