Cryogenic Systems
The engineers at Scientific Magnetics have experience in the design and manufacture of cryogenic systems for a wide range of large and complex superconducting magnet projects. These include a superfluid helium system to operate in zero gravity and cryogen free cooling system for LTS and HTS magnets.
Scientific Magnetics offers a wide range of cryogenic inserts designed to interface easily with our superconducting magnet systems. Standard variable temperature inserts, special inserts for e.g. UHV compatibility and ultra low temperature inserts can all be provided and fully systemised.
This cryostat system has been designed and manufactured by Scientific Magnetics to test fault current limiters manufactured from MgB2 superconductor. It is suitable for cryogenic operations at temperatures down to 25 K and although primarily designed for use with frozen nitrogen, other cryogenic fluids may also be used with the system. It is primarily cooled using a mechanical cryocooler and so it is also possible to operate with no cryogenic fluid at all.
Scientific Magnetics has the engineering and instrumentation skills to design and build equipment for cryogenic testing of components and systems.

We have extensive experience in designing and building vapour cooled current leads for existing or new cryostats. Leads are available to carry currents up to 20kA.
