- Bringing the Dewar Pressure down in Liquefy/Idle mode
Useful information
- The volume of an outside gHe tank: 1600 cubic feet (V = 45306.95 L)
- The pressure increase in the gHe tank per tube (in the tube trailer) is 10psi (i.e. 10 psi difference per tube)
- 100 slm rate on Magnet FC is equivalent to ~ 192 LHe liters per day (i.e. assuming both LQ A and B are running)
- QT recommendation to keep system minimally pressurized: ~20 psi
- Running from 40 psi down to 20 psi would produce about 80 liquid litters and we should be able to do that in about 10 hours (assuming both LQ A and B are running).
- Putting a 2200 psi gas bottle into the system will produce 8 liquid liters per bottle.
