Abstract
Systems and/or methods provided herein relate to cooling of a component within a chamber of a cryostat. A system can comprise a cryostat having a cooling plate disposed within the cryostat, and a cooling feed line extending into the cryostat from external to the cryostat, which cooling feed line is thermally coupled to the cooling plate by a heat exchanger. In one or more embodiments, the system further can comprise a bulk cooling system that employs a liquifiable gas to provide cooling, wherein the bulk cooling system is fluidly coupled to the cooling feed line. In one or more embodiments, the system further can comprise a vacuum pump disposed at the cooling return line and external to the cryostat and physically decoupled from the cryostat by a section of the cooling return line disposed between the cryostat and the vacuum pump.
