Stirling Cryogenics
CryoSphere
What the future holds in store
With the CryoSphere Stirling Cryogenics is ready for the future. Although our existing cryogenerators are very reliable and only need maintenance every 6.000 hours, the CryoSphere will need no maintenance at all!
Characteristics
• Maintenance free
• Continuous variable cold production 0-100%
• Fully automaticself controlling
• Highly reliable
• Highly efficient
• Compact design
• Hermetically sealed
• Virtually no vibration
• Easy to integrate in any position
By using linear motors to drive the compression pistons instead of conventional driving rods, the CryoSphere sets the new standard for efficiency. Its dynamic gas bearings prevent all mechanical contact between pistons and cylinders.
Compressed helium gas inside the CryoSphere creates a driving force on a displacer piston. The free movement of the displacer piston is exactly tuned in resonance frequency to provide the highest efficiency possible. The displacer is equipped with low stress flexures of infinite durability.
Due to their high radial stiffness these flexures prevent the displacer from making any mechanical contact, thus eliminating wear and tear. To maintain a stable operating temperature, the CryoSphere fully adapts its cold production to the cooling requirements of the application by changing the stroke of the pistons.
