Abstract
Sumitomo (SHI) cryogenics has been a pioneer and industry leader in developing cryocoolers for all major cryogenic applications including healthcare, semiconductor manufacturing, laboratory research, and quantum computing, for customers globally. With the rising demand for high temperature superconducting (HTS) applications like high field magnets, fusion and power devices, (superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), and fault current limiters (FCLs)), we have increased our efforts in the last decade to develop and offer cryogenic cooling solutions like single stage Gifford-McMahon (GM) cryocoolers and cryogenic circulating cooling systems to address the needs of our global customers.
In this paper, we will discuss the design challenges, integration concerns, test findings and application examples for the high-capacity GM cryocoolers and cryogenic circulating systems developed by Sumitomo (SHI) Cryogenics of America Inc. We will also delve into comparing legacy systems to potential new systems identifying benefits and limitations.
