Engineering technology to design and construct a cooling system
using a cryocooler to create the cryogenic environment (below
-150℃) required by the cooling target

Cooling system divided into the cryogenic fluid cooling system using
cryogenic fluid (liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, etc.) and the cryogenic
conduction cooling system using a solid structure with good thermal
conductivity.

 

Client / Market

  • Superconducting applications (superconducting power device, superconducting
    magnet, NMR, MRI, etc.), gas liquefaction/re-liquefaction

 

Necessity of this Technology

  • Various cooling system combination depending on the requirements of the cooling
    target (temperature, pressure, cooling load, etc.)
  • Cooling system design to minimize the cooling load of a cryocooler while satisfying
    the requirements of the cooling target.
  • Suitable design margin for basic design of the cooling system and its components.

 

Technical Differentiation

  • Cooling system design based on design and test experience of various cryogenic
    cooling systems (superconducting power cable, superconducting fault current
    limiter, SMES, NMR, etc.)
    - Cryogenic cooling system configuration to meet the requirements of the cooling
    target
    - Determination of design margin for the system and its components
    - Calculation of cooling load and selection of a cryocooler according to the system
    design
