Cryogenics
Redstone specializes in high performance Joule-Thomson
(J-T) cryocoolers. Applications include space and tactical systems, sensor testing
and laboratory use. We have single-stage and multi-stage cold heads operating at 10K, 35K, 80K, and 120K using helium, neon and nitrogen.
Our patented "Redstone
Interface" provides:
- Precise temperature control even for rapidly changing heat loads
- Uniform temperature over large area
- Vibration-free cooling at the sensor
- Large separation between cooler and sensor
- Cooling to multiple locations
- Single or dual stage cooling
- Effective cooling for high-density heat loads
- Across-gimbal cooling to multiple payloads
- Low input power
Redstone provides high-performance standard and custom cryostats.
- Our standard laboratory cryostat holds 20 liters of liquid helium and includes a vapor cooled shield that can be used to provide a second stage of useful cooling
- Custom designs have ranged from a 70 liter LHe cryostat for a single sensor to an 8’ tall, 1000 liter LHe cryostat having seven telescope bays. Each was designed to meet stringent thermal performance, weight and vibration requirement
Redstone provides cryogenic engineering services and training classes in cryogenic engineering and cryogenic safety. See the Services section for more details.
