Abstract
DarkSide-20k (DS-20k) is a dark matter detection experiment under
construction at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It
utilises ~100 t of low radioactivity argon from an underground source (UAr) in
its inner detector, with half serving as target in a dual-phase time projection
chamber (TPC). The UAr cryogenics system must maintain stable thermodynamic
conditions throughout the experiment's lifetime of >10 years. Continuous
removal of impurities and radon from the UAr is essential for maximising signal
yield and mitigating background. We are developing an efficient and powerful
cryogenics system with a gas purification loop with a target circulation rate
of 1000 slpm. Central to its design is a condenser operated with liquid
nitrogen which is paired with a gas heat exchanger cascade, delivering a
combined cooling power of >8 kW. Here we present the design choices in view of
the DS-20k requirements, in particular the condenser's working principle and
the cooling control, and we show test results obtained with a dedicated
benchmarking platform at CERN and LNGS. We find that the thermal efficiency of
the recirculation loop, defined in terms of nitrogen consumption per argon flow
rate, is 95 % and the pressure in the test cryostat can be maintained within
$\pm$(0.1-0.2) mbar. We further detail a 5-day cool-down procedure of the test
cryostat, maintaining a cooling rate typically within -2 K/h, as required for
the DS-20k inner detector. Additionally, we assess the circuit's flow
resistance, and the heat transfer capabilities of two heat exchanger geometries
for argon phase change, used to provide gas for recirculation. We conclude by
discussing how our findings influence the finalisation of the system design,
including necessary modifications to meet requirements and ongoing testing
activities.
