LN2 storage dewar, during Mimir pre-cool. |
 |
LN2 pre-cool system. LN2 flows into Mimir's internal cold bulkhead LN2 loop via a short hose from the storage dewar. After exiting Mimir, the cold N2 gas is flowed through copper tubing (on top of clean room) until warmed to room temperature, then put through a flow meter to ascertain the LN2 flow rate. |
 |
More details of the LN2 pre-cool configuration. The input and exit hoses are highly insulated to reduce heat ingress and parasitic LN2 boiling prior to entrance into Mimir. |
