摘要 |
The present invention is a system for cryogenic cooling of an object mounted on gimbals. A transfer line made up of one or more flexible small diameter transfer tubes is used to connect the compressor, which is located separately from the gimbals, and the cryocooler, which is mounted on the gimbals in thermal contact with the object to be cooled. The transfer line of the system of the invention has a total gas transfer capacity equal to that of the large diameter lines used in conventional systems but allows essentially unhindered rotation of the gimbals yoke and platform about the gimbals' axes, under the influence of gravity or with the help of motors.
