DRY ICE ACTIVE SORB

The DRY ICE ACTIVE SORB is a cryogenic cold trap capable of 6K operation. The unit is able to go to 10K in less than 1 hour and offers a range of temperature control.

A high temperature of 375K is achieved as standard for initial bake out, however higher temperatures ranges are available on request.

Applications

  • Noble Gas Spectroscopy e.g.  helium, argon, neon, xenon and krypton
  • UHV Cryogenic Sample Space with sorption pump 
  • Separate He and Ne
  • Separate Ar from Kr and Xe

Principle of Operation

The sorb's chamber contains an absorption material which is cooled using a mechanical cryocooler. By crushing and heating the analysis sample to high temperatures and feeding the resulting gas to the sorb, the gas will be trapped.

The absorption material is then heated in a highly controlled manner. As the temperature is stepped up, the trapped gasses reach their individual evaporation points. The released gas from the process is fed into a gas chromatography unit for analyses.

A benefit of this technique is that using a stepped temperature increase allows for the separation of trapped gasses. Volumes of each gas can therefore be measured separately.

Features

  • Fast cooldown time to base temperature (less than 1 hour to 10K)
  • Range of absorption materials
  • Second heater on radiation shield ensuring no unwanted trapping on walls of gasses to give better defined separation between peaks

DRY ICE 1K High Cooling Power

The DRY ICE 1K HIGH COOLING POWER was designed in collaboration with MIT this cryostat was designed to achieve the maximum cooling power available at 1.0K with a single cold-head. This would allow optimal performance of the single photon detectors required for optical quantum computing applications whilst also managing a large experimental heat-load.

The cryostat is fully insulated and has an Aluminium radiation shield which is thermally linked to the 1st stage of the cold head that sits at approximately 50K. The cryostat vacuum, super insulation and radiation shield all minimise the conduction and radiation heat load on to the sample space. The 1K pot and sample platform form an integral part of the cryostat and uses the same outer vacuum space that is used for the cryostat. A 1K pot system is utilised to create a volume of liquid Helium that is pumped on via the large Roots pump to create the low temperature stage. A Calibrated 0.3K Cernox and heater are wired onto the 1K Plate.

The cold head sits inside a cooling sock. (The design minimises any mechanical link to the cryostat and also means that the cold head can be removed without disassembling the system (for ease of service). The vibration is reduced further by the implementation of vibration damping bellows and a uniquely designed double support stand installed between the cryostat top plate and the cold head. The Helium within the closed loop is condensed by the 2nd stage of the cold-head into the 1K pot.
