A helium management control system for controlling helium refrigerant supply

摘要

The method involves aggregating helium demands from cryogenic refrigerators. An allocation of helium for each refrigerator is determined based on the availability of helium, the aggregated helium demands, and the individual needs of the refrigerators. Helium is distributed over time based on the determined allocation. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a helium distribution control system; (b) a computer program product; (c) a computer data signal; (d) a helium delivering method; (e) a helium management control system; (f) a system controlling method.
