CRYOGENICS

Creare is a leading innovator in the design and development of cryogenic components and systems. Our technologies in miniature high-speed turbomachinery, heat exchangers, reverse-Brayton cryocoolers, and J-T cryocoolers are applicable to temperatures down to 4 K and cooling capacities from a few milliwatts to several kilowatts. We have designed and developed cryocoolers for long-life space missions and low-cost terrestrial applications, and we provide complete cryogenic services from conceptual design, analysis, and optimization to hardware development, fabrication, and testing.

Creare’s cryogenic engineering staff enjoys international renown in the areas of miniature high-speed turbomachinery and gas film bearings for cryogenic applications. These specialties are supported by our overall expertise in heat and mass transfer, thermal system design and analysis, and the fluid dynamics of multiphase and multi-component flow systems.

Cryogenics projects at Creare also include:

• Production of slush hydrogen for hypersonic aerospace vehicles
• Probes for cryosurgical treatment of cancer
• Superconducting electrical buses for the space station
• Shipboard liquefaction of helium to cool advanced propulsion systems
• Cryogenic fluid transfer and management in space
• Cryogenic cooling systems and packaging for superconducting electronics
