Cryocooler Specifications

We offer a choice of cryocoolers with cooling powers to suit the application. The Gifford McMahon cycle cryocooler has the advantage of a greater thermodynamic efficiency and can operate in horizontal or vertical orientations.. The pulse-tube cryocooler is quieter, has a longer service interval and has a faster cooldown from room temperature.

We utilize CryoMech and Sumitomo as our cryocooler suppliers.
