Cryogenics has a large roll here at BNL. RHIC's 25kw cryogenic
system is one of the largest Helium refrigeration system in the world, and for that
distinction, it takes up most of our man power. But there are other programs
that need assistance from the Cryogenic System Group. From repairing a LN2 buggy
to operating the RHIC refrigeration system, our cryogenic systems have become
known for there safe & reliable operations. Below are just a few of the
projects we have contributed to in the past.

First Stage compressors |
These are only 8 of the 20, 600hp compressors and 5 1200hp compressors that are used to compress the helium before sending it to the refrigerator. |

Helium Storage tanks |
These are only 13 of the 47 storage tanks used to hold the 3 million cuf of helium used in the RHIC cryogenic system. |
