abstract = "A 3He sorption cooler design for the Short-Wavelength Instrument for the Polarization Explorer (SWIPE) of the Large-Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE) balloon-borne experiment is described. The aim of this experiment is the detection of the primordial B-mode polarisation component of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The SWIPE instrument will use Transition-Edge Sensors that are designed to work at temperature of almost 300 mK. Therefore, a 3He sorption cooler has been specifically designed that can reach this temperature with a heat load of up to 25 μW. The fridge is compact in order to be housed inside the SWIPE cryostat and operate vertically. It has been designed to have a cycle duration of at least 7 days. In order to meet these specifications, the fridge will be charged with 0.75 moles of 3He.",
