First update from the LEMON project

February 2025

A few months into the LEMON project, we are making big steps towards large-scale magnetic cooling.

Within work package 1, our team is working on new designs to significantly increase the size (and thus the cooling capacity) of our refrigerant package and to improve the thermal conductivity performance of the mechanical heat switches. To this end, our testing cryostat, which will allow for rapid prototyping, is almost finished and will help us validate our theoretical calculations with experimental data.

We have also started working on the overall system architecture, e.g. to also accommodate the new design for large ADR magnets.
