"PLUG IN" 44°K! New closed-cycle Cryo-Tip® systems put cryogenic temperatures where you need them. • Maximum flexibility to fit individual needs • Made up of standard Cryo-Tip components • Long operating life at low cost • Wide variety of vacuum shrouds available Air Products' new "plug-in" approach makes laboratory temperature from 4.4°Κ to 300° Κ as easy to obtain as power, water or gas. Using widely acclaimed Cryo-Tip refrigerators and basic "buildingb l o c k " components, you can put together a closed-cycle cryogenic system exactly suited to your needs. Operate as many as five Cryo-Tip refrigerators, each in its own labora tory, with only one remote compres sor per gas system. No line losses; no exhaust gases to vent; no chance of introducing contamination. Continuous operating time is lim ited only by the compressor dia phragm (typically 2,000 plus hours). Operating costs are lower than liquid transfer or open-cycle systems. Vacuum shrouds available for spec troscopy, X-ray diffraction, Hall ef fects, field-ion microscopy, EPR, ESR, NMR, laser cooling, IR detectors, mossbauer effects, and many other studies.
