SHI Cryogenics Group Releases World’s Highest-Capacity 4K Cryocooler

New Model Expertly Combines Gifford-McMahon and Joule-Thomson Technologies

The SHI Cryogenics Group has added a unique product offering to its cryocooler line with the introduction of the RJT-100 4K GM-JT Cryocooler.  The RJT-100 Gifford-McMahon/Joule-Thomson (GM-JT) Cryocooler is SHI’s newest and highest-capacity 4 K Cryocooler, with a capacity of up to 9.0 W at 4.2 K (50/60 Hz).

Distinguishing itself from standard 4 K Gifford-McMahon and Pulse Tube Cryocoolers, the RJT-100 showcases superior efficiency at 4.2 K. Its innovative design incorporates a Joule-Thomson Cryocooler alongside a Two-Stage Gifford-McMahon Cryocooler that pre-cools the helium gas.  This unique configuration eliminates valve pressure pulsation, delivering unmatched temperature-stabilizing performance and reduces maintenance costs by minimizing the required number of systems for each application.

The RJT-100 is available in two configurations.  The standard Stage configuration is ideal for superconducting radio frequency cavities, superconducting magnet applications, low-temperature systems and other applications requiring high cooling capacity at 4.2 K, while the optional Recondensing configuration is tailored for helium recondensation.

The RJT-100 is UL, CE, RoHS and UKCA compliant, and operates with two (2) inverter-driven helium compressors for manual control of cooling capacity and power consumption.  Both compressors are three-phase, indoor, water-cooled units available in both high and low-voltage models.  All related gas lines and power cables are included to complete the system.

Like all SHI products, the RJT-100 offers users high quality and proven reliability.  The SHI Cryogenics Group has the most extensive installed base of cryocoolers worldwide and supports its customers with a global service and support network of eleven offices and numerous representatives.
