At present, helium liquefiers with liquefying capacity from 0.5L/h to thousands of L/h and helium refrigerators with refrigerating capacity from dozens of watts to dozens of kilowatts exist in the world. In fusion devices at home and abroad, such as international thermonuclear reactor (ITER), eastern ultra ring (EAST) of the chinese academy of sciences, nuclear industry southwest physical research institute, number 2M (HL-2M), etc., a liquid helium cryogenic system is adopted by fusion researchers as the most conventional and effective cooling system.
