Popis: The commissioning of China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS) cryogenic system was completed in July, 2017. It runs 258 days totally until July, 2018, and the longest continuous running period is 184 days. CSNS had passed the national acceptance in August 2018. Now it is running stable from September 19th 2018. There are no any faults in the process of running. However, cryogenic system needs to be improved in the near future. The flow of hydrogen cycle can’t be controlled effectively. The flows through the cryogenic circulators working at the same frequency are different. The pressure drop of the ortho-para convertor is very high, and it maybe the root cause of this phenomenon. Therefore, the ortho-para convertor needs to be redesigned and re-manufactured, and the flow resistance must be measured. In future, the new ortho-para convertor will be installed in hydrogen cold-box.
