PULSE TUBE

Absolut System has a long term expertise and recognized competencies in Pulse-Tube development in Europe.

Several developments are on-going and cover a large range of application temperatures. For specific requests, please contact us.

One of our products developed in collaboration with Thales Cryogenics BV and has now reached TRL 6:

The LPT6510 is a cost effective compact integral pulse-tube cryocooler targeting a wide range of applications from 60 to 150K with one design only. The product was previously shown as an engineering demonstrator model based on the Thales MPTC compressor and the Absolut System SSC80 pulse-tube.

The potential need for a compact cryocooler for 60-150 K earth observation applications has long been recognized, and has resulted in several European developments towards such a product.
