Cryogenic data poster
I would like to get several copies of the wonderful “Cryogenic Data” poster that was produced by the Culham Laboratory in 1970. Does anyone know from whom they can be obtained?

Thermal conductivity of zirconia and Y-stabilized zirconia
We have been searching for information about the low temperature (4K -> 77K) thermal conductivity of zirconia and Y-stabilized zirconia without much success. Is anyone aware of sources for this information?
Portable equipment for an iqf system?
We are interested in purchasing small portable equipment for an iqf system. We want to process between 500 to 1000 Kg/day of berries and strawberries. Can you please let us know about equipment that can meet our requirements? Please specify the installation area we will need plus additional facilities and...
Transporting tank for Liquid Helium with special option for filling cylinders with gaseous helium
We are looking for a transporting tank for Liquid Helium with the special option for filling cylinders with gaseous helium. This unit should transport LHe and have the ability to fill 40-liter cylinders with helium at pressures up to 150-200 bar.
Industrial cryogenic pump manufacturers?
I am working on a cryogenic plant project and looking for industrial cryogenic pump manufacturers. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
University programs for PhD in cryogenic rocket engines?
I have completed a Masters in Cryogenic Engineering after my Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from Gujarat University (India).

Helium-3
Helium-3 (3He) is one of the two stable isotopes of helium. The other is the much more common Helium-4 (4He). Neither of these isotopes should be confused with He II, which is the second liquid phase of 4He. He II was discussed in this column in the Spring 2010 edition...
Cryopumping
Cryopumping refers to the use of cryogenic temperatures to produce vacuum in enclosed spaces. More broadly, it can also refer to the removal of gases via cryogenic temperatures from a flow stream or enclosure without necessarily resulting in vacuum pressures. This is an important application of cryogenics and is used...
Thermal Acoustic Oscillations
Thermal Acoustic Oscillations (TAO) are a common event in cryogenic systems that can have significant adverse effects on the performance of the system. TAOs are sustained pressure oscillations that can occur in tubes containing gas, closed at one end (the warm end) that have a very large temperature gradient along...

Bose-Einstein Condensate
A Bose-Einstein condensate, first proposed in 1925 by Albert Einstein based on work done by Satyendra Nath Bose (the same Bose from whom the term boson is derived), is a super-cold state of matter in which almost all of the individual atoms have “condensed” down to the lowest possible quantum...
Cold Technology for Pest Control
While it does not reach temperatures cold enough to be called cryogenic, carbon dioxide snow is at the heart of a new way of dealing with unwanted pests. It utilizes a quick freezing process that takes advantage of the properties of carbon dioxide snow and has a number of benefits...
Cryogenic Finishing
The following 3 articles discuss the uses and procedures of various type of cryogenic finishing. 1) By Robin A. Rhodes, Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. rrhodes@nitrofreeze.com Cryogenic Deflashing is employed to remove undesired residual mold flash that remains on molded parts after they are removed or ejected from the...
Cryogenic processing for medical equipment, mining industry
Greetings from Australia. I am looking for a company that I might contact that has any experience or has done any research into cryogenic processing for medical equipment, in particular, joint prosthesis.
