Cryogenic Flow Facility The Division operates the NIST Cryogenic Flow Measurement Facility, located in Boulder, Colorado. Please follow the link to learn more about this world-class testing facility.
Programs/Projects
Microcryocooler for Terahertz Detectors— NIST and the University of Colorado have been funded since April, 2006, by DARPA to develop a microcryocooler with a volume less than about 4 cm3 to cool a terahertz detector to about 77 … Low Temperature Regenerator and Pulse Tube Losses—The Cryogenic Technologies Project has been funded by ONR since FY2005 to measure and model the losses in 4 K regenerators and pulse tubes. These thermal components are part of 4 K cryocoolers to … |
Highlights
Dr. Ray Radebaugh receives Samuel C. Collins Award. At the CEC/ICMC Awards Breakfast on July 2, Ray Radebaugh received the prestigious Samuel C. Collins Award for “an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the identification and solution of cryogenic engineering problems and has…demonstrated a concern for the cryogenic community through unselfish professional service and leadership to this community.” Radebaugh recently retired from NIST, but is continuing in a consulting role with the institute.
