    Cold gas generator

    +Cold gas generator
    To reach temperatures between 85 and 250 Kelvin a cold nitrogen gas generator inserted in a standard liquid nitrogen vessel delivers a stream of nitrogen gas at 85K-125K (depending of the flow rate) at the tip of a vacuum isolated flexible tube. It runs with a stream of gas rather than liquid. It is vibration free and could be adapted in any Nitrogen vessel from 30 to 250 litres. Flow rate (typically): 0.4 m3/h at T ≤ 100 K with a gas pressure of 0.5 bar. Cooling power: 4 W at 100 K with a flow rate of 0.20 m3/h.
    Details

    • High efficiency heat exchanger made in annealed copper and gold plated for a best exchange between the liquid and gaseous phases.

    • Delivery tube of high flexibility allowing radius of curvature of 20cm.

    • Vacuum isolation

    • Radiation baffles

    • Electrical connector for level measurement (optional)

    Nitrogen Continuous Flow Cryostat

    Nitrogen Continuous Flow Cryostat

    This very special instrument is used for fluorescence and diffraction measurements of biological frozen samples of a size between 3 mm and 50 m. They can be precisely positionned (by the way of a cryogenic sample holder) and measured by an X-Ray spot of 30 nm.
    The cryostat works with a continuous Nitrogen flow at 120K (provided by     the cold gas generator) to guarantee a perfect heat exchange and prevent any damage of the sample.

    The spatial stability and positioning of the sample is better than 100 nm because of its smart design, a careful construction and the use of selected materials in which the differential expansion coefficient is about 10-2 m/K. A sorption pump let working in static vacuum and avoids any vibration source.

    Details
    • Temperature range: 90K to 250K.

    • Temperature stability: ΔT/T < 10-3in the whole range of temperature.

    • Cool down time: from room temperature to 100 K in 5 minutes.

    • Spatial stability 100 nm (between 120K and 150K).

    Mini-Cryostat for Sample in Helium Flow

    +Mini-Cryostat for Sample in Helium Flow
    Device for fluorescence measurements (XAS) of low thermal conductivity samples. The sample, hold in a tailored support, is under Helium flow to guarantee its temperature and avoid the damage produced by the beam.
    A special design of the measurement chamber allows a perfect vacuum seal by the way of a thin layer of vacuum grease on a conical surface, avoiding the use of expensive and complicated Indium or Gold seals.
    This cryostat is vibration free and can work in any spatial position.
