Cryochillers and Cryocoolers
Welcome to the Edwards Polycold chillers range.
Polycold cryochillers are closed loop cryogenic refrigeration systems that provide up to 4,000 watts of cooling. They can be used to capture water vapour and other condensable substances within a vacuum process to significantly improve both the time and quality of vacuum creation. Polycold products can also be used in direct cooling applications like cooling electrostatic chucks used in semiconductor production or cooling various sensor technologies for improved signal capture.
P-102 Cryocooler - a compact, easy-to-use alternative to liquid nitrogen
High-speed pumping of water vapour guaranteed
The Edwards Polycold® P-102 Cryocoolers provide compact, easy-to-use alternative to liquid nitrogen in small vacuum systems.
These cryogenerators effectively eliminate the cost, inconvenience, and hazards associated with using liquid nitrogen - while delivering comparable performance.
The P-102 Cryocooler provides high-speed pumping of water vapour to the 10-8 Torr range while preventing backstreaming of vacuum-pump fluids. Featuring a patented single compressor refrigeration process that employs auto-refrigerating cycle cooling, this cryogenerator directly cools chevron baffles or probes to as low as -135°C using an HCFC-free refrigerant mixture in a closed loop system.
Key Features
- Continuous cooling of cryosurfaces
- Heat removal to 120 Watts
- Vacuum system cold trap cooling
- Mass spectrometer leak detector
- Provides temperatures to -135°C
- Heat removal to 120 Watts
- Fast, easy installation and maintenance
- Rapid return on investment
- P-102 Cryocoolers are CE marked to low voltage andEMC directives, and are compliant with EuropeanApplication refrigerants EC/2037/2000, the MontrealProtocol and the US EPA SNAP

PFC Water Vapour Cryochiller
The Edwards Polycold® PFC Water Vapour Cryochiller effectively captures water vapour, which typically comprises 65% to 95% of thegas load in high vacuum systems.
It pumps vapour within minutes of start, defrosts in less than four minutes and lowers water vapour partial pressure duringprocessing, for higher quality, better adhesion, and more reproducible deposition.
When added to your vacuum system, the PFC Cryochiller can reduce pumpdown times by 25% to 75% and can increase productthroughout by 20% to 100%. In addition, the PFC Cryochiller offers a superior cost/performance ratio compared to liquid nitrogencooled Meissners - typically delivering return on investment in as little as one year.
Key Features
- -90° to -155° C (183 to 118 K)
- Simple, tube-type cold element
- Cryocondensation of water vapour in vacuum systems at speedsup to 200,000 L/sec, vacuum levels to 2 x 10-12 torr depending onmodel and application
- Heat removal to 3,600 watts
- Globally compliant, non-toxic and non-flammable greenrefrigerant charge
- Patented cryogenic refrigeration process and refrigerant mixtures
- Available in a variety of cryocoil configurations

PGC Gas Chillers
This Gas Chiller cools compressed dry gases, such as nitrogen, argon or air,from ambient to cryogenic temperature without pre-cooling.
PGC Gas Chillers are closed-loop refrigeration systems that cool a non-recirculatinggas stream using a refrigerant to gas tube-in-tube heat exchanger.
Using the Edwards Polycold auto-cascade refrigeration cycle technique with a mixedrefrigerant, PGC Gas Chillers enable you to cool dry gas to temperatures between -75°C and -125°C without sacrificing high flow rates.
PGC Gas Chillers are suitable for many applications, including thermal testing ofelectronics, cold gas venting of vacuum chambers, rheology, and low-temperaturecharacterisation of materials
.They are the most cost-effective systems available for cooling a gas stream in anultra-low temperature range (-75° to -125°C/ -103° to -193°F/198 to 148 K) withoutthe cost, risk or inconvenience of liquid nitrogen.
Key Features
- Free standing, compact size
- Rated for continuous operation
- Shipped ready to operate
- Easy installation and maintenance
- Single compressor for reliable performance
- 50 or 60 Hz operation, single phase
- Power switch and eight-foot power cord
- Patented refrigerant gases
- PGC Gas Chillers are CE compliant, SEMI S2 compliant, and US EPA-SNAPapproved. Proprietary and patented Polycold® refrigerant mixtures are fullycompliant with current European environment regulations
