Developers: Infinite Helium
Product Description:Infinite Helium is a closed-cycle refrigerator system that enables a liquid helium continuous flow cryostat to operate cryogen‑free. A fully automated system, with no manual valve adjustments to make, it offers effortless, intelligent cooling and a stable temperature over an extended length of time. Infinite Helium helps to alleviate the issue relating to the costs of helium. Availability of helium is an issue faced by many physics and material research labs today, especially if their research requires them to go to temperatures lower than what liquid nitrogen offers. It is particularly challenging for small labs who do not have a large budget or cannot benefit from the cost savings afforded by ordering large quantities of helium on a regular basis. Without a reliable source and having to always pay more for cryogens means these labs cannot do all the work they require, directly impacting scientific progress. Infinite Helium provides a solution, especially for those who are quite satisfied with their existing continuous flow cryostats and want a way to keep using them without the need for a LHe dewar. In addition, because it is fully automated, hands-on operation is reduced from hours to seconds so users can be up and running fast. Infinite Helium innovatively circulates helium in a closed loop, enabling a continuous flow cryostat to operate without the need for a LHe dewar (with a continuous flow cryostat cooled using a LHe dewar, the LHe evaporates into the atmosphere and needs to be replenished). As a result, almost any cryostat of this type can be economically cooled, potentially eliminating the need for any liquid cryogen for the user’s lab.
