Matfyz and the Czech Academy of Sciences have launched a new helium liquefier

Abstract

The Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University, in cooperation with the Czech Academy of Sciences, has launched the most powerful Czech helium liquefier for scientific purposes, with a capacity of 57 liters of liquid helium per hour, which can liquefy up to 70,000 m3 of gaseous helium per year. Scientists will also use the device to re-liquefy extremely volatile rare gases from laboratories, which they recycle in this way.
