Liquid Hydrogen
Hydrogen becomes a liquid at 20K and 1 bar. Liquid hydrogen (LH2) is an important substance in industry, transportation and research. Industrial uses of hydrogen include applications in the electronics, glass, chemical and metal processing fields. In these applications, the hydrogen is generally used as a room temperature gas but...
Superconducting Radiofrequency Cavities
Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities represent an important application of cryogenics and superconductivity. SRF cavities are a technology for accelerating charged particle beams via the transfer of radiofrequency (RF) energy to the beams via resonant structures. As such, they are frequently found in large particle accelerators used for scientific research....
Thermal Radiation Shields
Actively cooled thermal radiation shields are a common feature of cryostats whose lowest temperature is less than 77K. These shields, which typically operate at temperatures between that of LN2 and 40K, block thermal radiation from higher temperatures from reaching lower temperature cryogenic components or fluids. Since the heat radiated from...

You are encouraged to read Cryo Central’s History...
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...
Thermal expansion data for quartz at cryogenic temperatures (20 – 300 K).
I am looking for thermal expansion data for quartz at cryogenic temperatures (20 – 300 K). Does anyone have any such data?
Looking for process to freeze large volumes of plastics and rubber
I’m looking for a process to freeze large volumes of plastics and rubber prior to submitting this mass of material to a grinding process that reduces it to a powder. Any thoughts? Any known processes which I can visit? Any known technologies? Can you refer me to other resources for...
Sealant Adhesive KAE 89?
Can you give me contact details for the manufacturer of a “sealant Adhesive” KAE 89? It is a vapor stop, used on insulation covering LNG carrying conduits. This is a suggested alternative to Foster 90-66. Do you have details of any other alternative products for this application?
