Sophisticated Analytical Instrumentation Facility, CIL and UCIM

Laboratory: Liquid Nitrogen Plant

 

StirLIN-1, Sterling Cryogenics Holland plant is installed at Panjab University SAIF. It has modern modular design, based on sterling closed cycle having Helium as its working gas. The instrument is energy efficient, automatic and has controlled unattended operation. The dispensing pressure of Liquid Nitrogen from storage vessel can be set from 0.2 bar (g) to 5 bar (g) as per requirement with maximum purity of LN2 can be achieved up to 99.7% (0.3% oxygen contents). The production rate of usable Cryo-fluid is 240 litres/ day.

The low temperature (-196^oC) liquid nitrogen is widely used in various research and industries. The most common applications are in superconductivity, high precision mechanical assembly, ultra high vacuum, food industries for preservation, nuclear field, semiconductor industry and numerous other ways.
