| Abstract | In January 1982, we started a five month-long run of three satellite refrigerators, each attached to 250 meters of magnets. Two additional satellite refrigerators were operated, one as a liquefier, and the other to cool our B12 Magnet Test Facility. They were all powered by the first two of our compressor buildings, located 1.0 Km apart, each housing four, two-stage screw compressors. During most of this period the Central Helium Liquefier was operating providing supercritical He. In November 1982 we commissioned eight additional refrigerators, each with it s 250 m magnets, as well as two additional compressor buildings. In February 1983 we started up an additional four refrigerators with magnets. The reminder of the project will start this spring. |
