Cryogenic Technology

Cryogenic cooling and vacuum solutions for science and industry

We develop cryogenic cooling and vacuum solutions for applications that require stable low temperatures and controlled environments. Our systems support scientific research, advanced industry and emerging technologies where precision and consistency is key.

From individual components to complete cryogenic systems

We supply both standalone cryogenic components and fully integrated systems. Whether adding a single unit or building a complete cryogenic solution, our portfolio supports flexible configuration.

Our cryogenic compressors, cold heads and vacuum pumps can operate independently or as part of a coordinated system designed around your application.

ECC Cryogenic Helium Compressors

Cryogenic compressors supply high-purity helium gas required to drive cooling systems. They provide the stable flow needed to maintain low temperatures over extended operation.

Our ECC cryogenic helium compressors, such as the ECC5000 and ECC5000 LV, operate at a filling pressure of 16 bar(g). Units run on standard 400 V (50 Hz) or 460 V (60 Hz) three-phase supply, with alternative voltage options available.
Designed for integration across cryogenic systems, they use ½” self-sealing helium connections and support consistent performance in demanding environments.
Efficient helium compression using scroll technology
Stable, continuous operation through robust design
Flexible configurations for different system architectures

Typical applications include fusion energy systems, particle accelerators and cryogenic research.

ECH Cryogenic Cold Heads

Cryogenic cold heads generate and maintain the low temperatures required for many advanced technologies.

Our models such as the E2CH100/6 and E1CH220 use the Gifford-McMahon cycle to provide cooling capacities of up to 115 W and 210 W at 80 K. Minimum temperatures typically reach 10–25 K, with cool-down times between 25 and 35 minutes depending on configuration.
Precise temperature control through adjustable operation
Low vibration to support sensitive instruments
Durable construction for extended use

Typical applications include superconducting systems, quantum technologies, medical imaging and industrial processing.

ECP Cryogenic Vacuum Pumps

Cryogenic vacuum pumps create deep vacuum environments by capturing and condensing gases at low temperatures.

Models such as the ECP5000 and ECP10000 reach pressures down to around 10⁻⁶ mbar. Pumping speeds can reach up to 18,000 l/s and 30,000 l/s respectively, depending on gas type and configuration.
Designed with standard ISO-K flanges, these pumps integrate with cryogenic cold heads and helium compressors as part of a wider system.
High vacuum capability for controlled environments
Adaptive operation across varying process conditions
Modular design supporting maintenance and uptime

Typical applications include space simulation, thin-film coating, accelerator systems and advanced materials research.

Cryo panel solutions

Cryo panel solutions are designed for targeted gas capture in specialised cryogenic vacuum applications. By combining a cold head with engineered panel geometries, specific gases can be efficiently captured.

A common configuration pairs a single-stage E1CH cold head with tailored panels for applications such as xenon pumping in ion thruster testing.

Integrated cryogenic systems

Cryogenic cooling systems
Cryogenic cooling systems combine helium compressors with cold heads to generate controlled low-temperature environments. These systems support superconducting applications, high-field experiments and precision thermal control.

Cryogenic vacuum systems
Cryogenic vacuum systems combine compressors and cryogenic pumps to create stable, low-pressure environments. These systems are used in research, testing and industrial processes where vacuum integrity is essential.
For specialised requirements, cryo panel solutions can be integrated to support selective gas capture within the system.

FAQ

What is a cryogenic compressor?

A cryogenic compressor supplies high-purity helium gas used to drive cryogenic cooling systems and maintain low operating temperatures.

How do cryogenic cold heads work?

Cryogenic cold heads remove heat from a system by transferring it to a cooling cycle, enabling temperatures as low as 20 K depending on configuration.
