 400uW Dilution

Since 1983, Cryomagnetics has been a world leading manufacturer of liquid-helium based (wet) superconducting magnet systems. Our comprehensive in-house manufacturing capabilities insures the highest quality possible. Unlike many other companies offering superconducting magnet/dilution refrigerators - we are not simply a multi-manufacturer integrator. We ARE the manufacturer and do not rely on subcontractors for major items of the system.

Likewise, Cryoconcept is also a world leader in traditional, liquid helium based dilution refrigerators. Over the years, many innovative dilution refrigerators for high power, inverted, pulsed-magnetic field, etc. have been delivered.

Combining both companies' strengths results in a dilution refrigerator/superconducting magnet system with unmatched performance, reliability, and ease of use.

The dilution refrigerator is available with up to 400μW of cooling power at 100mK and a base temperature of less than/equal to 10mK. The superconducting magnet is available with fields up to 15 Tesla with a variety of bore sizes and homogeneous volumes.

Many configurations are available:

  • Traditional top-loading bucket dewar systems, highly-efficient superinsulated or LN2-shielded.
  • Bottom loading bucket dewar systems for larger superconducting magnets allows for reduced dewar neck diameter and better LHe loss rates.
  • Vibration isolation options for sensitive experiments.
  • Room temperature bore magnet systems with a separate dewar system for the dilution refrigerator.
  • Custom-designed to fit your particular application.

The system also incorporates an automatic gas handling system optimized for use with the dilution refrigerator. Control is through a user-friendly touch-screen interface or remotely through an Ethernet interface. The superconducting magnet can be controlled through Ethernet, USB, or IEEE-488 interface.

A typical 400µW dilution refrigerator is pictured at left.

Typical DR/Magnet Installation

At left is a typical dilution refrigerator / superconducting magnet system installation.

This system contains a 9T superconducting magnet with 2.0" cold bore.

The dewar is high efficiency superinsulated without a liquid nitrogen shield to minimize maintenance.

The dilution refrigerator is 100µW at 100mK with a base temperature of < 10mK.

At the far left-hand side of the picture is the fully automated gas-handling system. Everything may be controlled via our user-friendly Cryograf software.
