    High temperature superconducting (HTS) power cables offer promising solutions for electric aircraft and ships with power demands of up to 50 MW and 100 MW, respectively. However, their cryogenic cooling requirements present challenges. While liquid nitrogen is used for the grid applications of HTS cables, its limited temperature range (63-77 K) and asphyxiation risks make it suboptimal for...

    In 2023 Criotec Impianti Srl was awarded the CERN contract covering the design, manufacturing, and installation of the cryogenic system for the Neutrino Platform Dark Side-20k proximity cryogenics.
    The DarkSide-20k experiment consists of an inner detector housed within a sealed stainless steel vessel and an outer muon veto, deployed within a ProtoDUNE-style membrane cryostat. It is currently...

    Purification of the process gas is vital for reliable operation of cryogenic systems. For helium cryogenic systems operating at 4.5 K or below, this is critical as any matter other than the process gas (helium) will freeze and act as a solid contaminant. Persistent low-level contamination (mainly the constituents of air and moisture) at levels greater than 1.0 ppmv, will degrade the...
