PT205

Pulse Tube Cryocooler

The new Cryomech PT205 is a compact, two-stage pulse tube cryocooler designed to meet the cooling requirements of advanced scientific applications in the 2.5 K range, including superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs).

The new Cryomech PT205 Pulse Tube Cryocooler is a compact, two-stage pulse tube cryocooler designed to meet the cooling requirements of advanced scientific applications, including superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs).

Delivering greater than 10 milliwatts of cooling power at 2.5 K with only 1.3 kW of power consumption makes the PT205 an efficient solution for advanced technologies requiring cryogenic temperatures in the 2-4 K range with longer mean time between maintenance. The innovative pulse tube design significantly reduces vibration and mechanical wear, enhancing system longevity and minimizing maintenance needs.

With its energy efficiency, reduced operational costs, and compact design, the PT205 is a durable and practical choice for long-term, high-performance cooling in a wide array of scientific applications.

Product Highlights

PT205

Pulse Tube Cryocooler


Compact Pulse Tube Cryocooler

Measuring approximately 11 inches (28 cm) in length (from room temperature flange to the second stage) and weighing 19 pounds (8.6 kg), the PT205 provides cooling power in a compact and energy-efficient design that can easily be integrated into limited spaces.

Its compact form makes it ideally suited for cooling applications such as SNSPDs, where it ensures that the nanowires within the detectors remain at the required temperatures to operate at full potential, allowing researchers to carry out sensitive measurements.


Energy- and Cost-Effective Cooling

The PT205 delivers a minimum of 10 milliwatts of cooling power at 2.5 K while consuming only 1.3 kW of power at 60 Hz. This makes the PT205 an energy-efficient and cost-effective choice; an essential consideration for long-term operations in scientific and industrial settings where budget and operational efficiency are critical.


Low-Vibration Operation

A standout feature of the PT205 is its pulse tube technology, which eliminates the need for moving parts in the cooling process. The design results in significantly lower vibration levels compared to traditional cryocoolers that rely on moving components.

The absence of moving parts also reduces the mechanical wear that might lead to service requirements, enhancing the PT205’s reliability and longevity. This is particularly valuable in applications where even the smallest of vibrations can disrupt sensitive equipment or measurements.


Low Total Cost of Ownership

Another advantage of the PT205 is its low total cost of ownership. Benefiting from our proven pulse tube technology, the PT205 utilizes the same principles that allow a long mean time between maintenance (minimum 40 000 hours of operation) over its operational life compared to other cooling systems.

Additionally, the PT205’s energy efficiency, delivering an operating power consumption of just 1.3 kW at 60 Hz, further contributes to its cost-effectiveness by minimizing energy use while delivering substantial cooling power.


Highly Customizable

The PT205 has been designed with high customization possibilities from the room temperature flange down to the heat exchanger interfaces, allowing it to be seamlessly incorporated into your system.
