Heat Exchangers

This is where the heat that is deposited in the target fluid by interaction with the electron beam is removed. The target fluid is circulated on one side of the heat exchanger and cold helium from a refrigerator is circulated through the other side of the heat exchanger. The cryogens for the Hall C target will be supplied from the End Station Refrigerator (ESR).

A new feature in 1999 is the conversion of the cryotarget cooling from the previous series/parallel flow to a pure parallel flow cooling system. This was done to make control of the three cryotarget loops simpler, truly independent, and truly interchangeable. The use of LN$\_2$ as a precooler was elected in favor of directing a small amount of the 20K exhaust helium.
