The CCR delivery shall include:
1. Cryofurnace with a temperature range from 10 K to 500 K, mountable on ESS level 2 flange
mount (ESS-3069220) [1], Figure 8 .
2. 1 sample stick.
3. A set of dismountable vacuum cans and thermal radiation shields adapted to neutron
powder diffraction. Therefore, the material used in the main beam and diffracted beam
paths shall be neutron-compatible, meaning only aluminium and vanadium are allowed. At
a minimum, vanadium windows in the main beam path.
4. Temperature control electronics with at least 3 temperature readings (Cryocooler 2nd stage
for diagnostic purposes; heat exchanger and sample).
5. Compressor and flex lines.
6. Transport trolley for cryofurnace and auxiliary equipment, able to be wheeled, craned, and
moved by forklift or pallet jack.
Options :
- Separate quotes for 3 options:
1. Full coverage of scattered and main beam with vanadium windows.
2. Minimum Vanadium coverage with windows principally on the main beam path.
3. Aluminium-only tails.
In addition there shall be quoted:
• Spare standard sample stick suitable for 10 - 500 K
• Additional 2 sample sticks capable of reaching 800K by local heating, with sample space
evacuated.
