Abstract: A device for providing a liquid helium forced flow cooling fluid is provided, including a liquid helium vessel system for heat load, a liquid helium vessel system for circulation pump, a liquid helium vessel system for subcooled helium, and a cold box. The liquid helium vessel system for heat load absorbs the heat load of a cryogenic user; the liquid helium vessel system for circulation pump absorbs the heat load of a circulation pump; the liquid helium vessel system for subcooled helium absorbs the heat load of subcooled helium; the device process pipelines and the cold box achieve a pre-cooling process of a cryogenic user, a pre-cooling and liquid storage process of liquid helium vessels, and a pre-cooling and starting-up process of rotating machines, and provide the liquid helium forced flow cooling fluid to accomplish the operations of a cryogenic user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a server having a processor-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions for protocol request processing; and a processor in communication with the storage medium. The processor is configured to execute the set of instructions to provide a communication with a customer terminal through an online platform; receive a second protocol request sent from the customer terminal; determine if the server is processing a first protocol request sent from the customer terminal prior to the second protocol request; process the second protocol request when the server is not processing the first protocol; and discard the second protocol request when the server is processing the first protocol.
