LH

Dilution Refrigerator Measurement System

The LH System is a low-height, compact, and unique horizontal dilution refrigerator measurement system, capable of operating under different tilt angles.

Bluefors LH System is a unique horizontal dilution refrigerator measurement system that is capable of operating under different tilt angles. It comes with special shields with removable blinds, which are easily modified into optical access ports.

These features make the LH System ideal for beam line, telescope, or detector applications.

Dilution Refrigerator Measurement System


Fully Automated Operation

Fully automated cooldown sequence from room to base temperature, initiated with a single push of a button.


Extensive Capabilities for Experimental Wiring

All line-of-sight ports reach from room temperature to the Mixing Chamber.

  • 2 x ISO-K63 slotted in all flanges
  • 4 x KF40

Horizontal Orientation

Truly horizontal dilution refrigerator measurement system capable of operating under different tilt angles. Ideal for beam line, telescope, or detector applications.


Superior Performance

  • Base temperature below 10 mK
  • Fast cooldown: < 24 hours to 10 mK (measured on an empty system with standard sample space and shield set).

See all technical specifications.


Temperature Controller

The Bluefors Temperature Controller enhances the user experience of our cryogenic systems. With a modern and intuitive user interface, you gain direct control and overview of the system’s temperature status. 

The Bluefors Temperature Controller is fully integrated into all dilution refrigerator measurement systems.

Above is a cooldown curve for a configuration of LH horizontal dilution refrigerator measurement system measured with a calibrated resistance thermometer.

Pulse Pre-Cooling sequence is one of the key points in reducing the cooldown time (see spots 2 and 3). Because we do not use exchange gas some parts of the dilution refrigerator unit stay ‘hot’ on cooldown, which prevents condensation of the helium3 –helium-4 mixture. To cool down these hot spots effectively, the mixture is repeatedly admitted from the tanks to the Still side of the dilution refrigerator to operate as an exchange gas and then pumped out again.
