Cryogenics Requirement
A commercial close-cycle refrigerator is used for the cooling inside the receiver. It is a three-stage cryo-cooler (4K, 10K, and 80K), and deliver more than 2.5W of cooling power at 4K. The cryo-cooler is a type of compound Gifford-McMahon (GM) and Joule-Thomson (JT) refrigerator. The GM fridge is used to pre-cool the circulating helium gas to its conversion point for the JT mechanism to kick in. This is then resulting the high cooling capacity of the fridge at 4K.
