What is cryogenic reaction?
Cryogenic reactions have various applications in chemistry, materials science, and physics. For example, they can be used to synthesize novel materials with unique properties, investigate the behavior of catalysts under extreme conditions, or study fundamental processes in chemistry and physics.
The specific conditions and methods used in cryogenic reactions depend on the nature of the reactants, the desired products, and the experimental objectives. Careful control of the reaction temperature, pressure, and other parameters is crucial to ensure successful outcomes.
How does a cryogenic pump work?
A cryogenic pump is a specialized type of pump designed to handle fluids at very low temperatures, typically below -150°C. Its main function is to transfer or circulate cryogenic liquids, such as liquid nitrogen or liquid helium, efficiently and safely within a cryogenic system.
Here’s a general overview of how a cryogenic pump works:
Sealing and Insulation
The pump is designed with high-quality sealing materials to prevent any leaks or escape of the cryogenic fluids.
Temperature Control
To maintain the low temperature of the fluid, the pump may be equipped with additional cooling mechanisms.
Materials of Construction
Common materials used in cryogenic pumps include stainless steel, aluminum, and special alloys.
