Turbo up your cryo-loop

Cryogenic compressors and turbo expanders for lowest temperatures

  • Reliable – maintenance-free for years
  • No rotating seals – oil-free by design
  • Contamination-free – Minimal wetted surfaces and materials
  • Temperature resistant – gas recirculation with compressor at 20 K
  • Restart capability at cryogenic temperatures

Applications in cryogenics require compressors to circulate gases while also generating cryogenic temperatures with the reversed Brayton cycle. This process requires an expander. Celeroton’s turbo compressor with integrated gas bearing technology offers advantages for such applications in cryogenics. Pollution of the cryogenic gas is prevented, as the gas bearing technology uses the cryogenic gas as a lubricant and thus does not result in contamination by conventional lubricants as with ball bearings. The high efficiency of the turbo compressors and turboexpanders results in minimal heat input into the cryogenic application. For gas recirculation the compressor can be installed inside a vacuum insulated cold box.
