China Suppliers and Factory for Modified Claude Helium Liquefaction Cycle Systems with Smart Control
Product Description
A Large cryogenic helium liquefaction plant adopts helium turbine reverse Bratton refrigeration cycle to obtain the corresponding refrigeration capacity. High-pressure helium is obtained through helium compressor first, part of high-pressure helium is expanded and cooled in turbine expander, and the remaining high-pressure gas is cooled step by step in multistage heat exchanger, and finally liquid helium is obtained by throttling through Jiao Tang throttle valve, and the obtained liquid helium is directly output as product. Such refrigeration equipment is called a helium liquefier.

4.5K Helium Refrigerator/Liquefier Process Diagram
Helium refrigerator/liquefier can usually work in two modes: refrigeration mode and liquefaction mode. If it works in refrigeration mode, the liquid helium obtained provides 4.5K constant temperature cooling for the user equipment, and the evaporated helium is returned to the cold box to recover the cold capacity and then recycled. If operating in liquefaction mode, the obtained liquid helium is directly exported as a product.
