Cryogenic System in Building 902A

The cryogenic facility in B902 is primarily used for testing superconducting magnets and cables.  Under special occasions and on an emergency basis, we also provide liquid helium to on site users.

Overview
The facility consists of Helium Refrigerators, vertical test area, horizontal area, compressor systems, liquid helium storage, liquid nitrogen storage, gas storage and gas recovery system.
