Heat switch to reduce cool-down times for a ground cryostat
On demand | Presented live 20 June 2024 
Abstract
At INTA, a passive heat switch was designed, produced and tested, in order to obtain a thermal conductivity curve of the material through experimental means, and the total conductance of the thermal switch. This characterization should enable to validate this design, and conclude on the introduction of this element in the thermal design of cryostats for cryogenics projects.
