摘要:
Systems and methods for monitoring environmental variables associated with temperature-sensitive products during shipping may include sensors attached to or inside a container being shipped and a remote processor receiving data provided by the sensors. For instance, temperature and orientation may be sensed over time and a status associated with a temperature-sensitive product may be determined based on the temperature and/or orientation and based on changes in the temperature and/or orientation over time. In this manner, potentially deleterious temperature and/or orientation excursions may be predicted and monitored.

An apparatus includes a Dewar having an endcap. The apparatus also includes a heat sink and a multiaxial thermal shoe having a thermal interface material and configured to thermally couple the endcap of the Dewar to the heat sink via one of at least two axial surfaces. The multiaxial thermal shoe is configured to transfer thermal energy between the endcap of the Dewar and the heat sink without structurally coupling the Dewar to the heat sink. The multiaxial thermal shoe may be configured to hold the thermal interface material against the endcap. The multiaxial thermal shoe may couple to the heat sink via a first axial surface in-line with an optical centerline or a second axial surface crosswise to the optical centerline.

A tensioned intra-Dewar spider assembly that can support a large system inside the Dewar in a way that adds as little thermal load as possible, doesn't overly stress the coldfinger, maintains alignment, and isolates the components from the vibrations of the cryocooler is disclosed.

A portable gas filling system for transfer of cryogenic fluids to high pressure gas cylinders includes a moveable platform, a cryogenic fluid pump for connection to an off platform cryogenic fluid Dewar, and a vaporizer for connection between the fluid pump and gas cylinders. A vacuum pump is provided for purging of interconnecting system lines and a gas accumulator interconnected to the system lines enables storage of gas to pressurize the Dewar.

A Dewar system is configured to liquefy a flow of fluid, and to store the liquefied fluid. The Dewar system is disposed within a single, portable housing. Disposing the components of the Dewar system within the single housing enables liquefied fluid to be transferred between a heat exchange assembly configured to liquefy fluid and a storage assembly configured to store liquefied fluid in an enhanced manner. In one embodiment, the flow of fluid liquefied and stored by the Dewar system is oxygen (e.g., purified oxygen), nitrogen, and/or some other fluid.
摘要:
The present invention regards a system for transferral of at least one cryogenic fluid between two objects. At least one transfer pipe extending from the installation extends into a receiving room in the vessel, the transfer pipe being connectable with piping on the vessel through a connection in the receiving room. The receiving room is closable, the connection, and or at least a part of the construction forming the receiving room and or other elements in the receiving room are constructed to withstand eventual leakage of the cryogenic fluid and the system also provides for evacuating the receiving room for eventual spilled fluid. The invention also regards a flange for use in the system.

A dry cryogenic shipping container having a removable absorbent assembly is provided. The dry cryogenic shipping container is structured to be a Dewar's flask having a first, outer shell assembly, and second, inner shell assembly disposed within and spaced from the first, outer shell assembly, and a cap. Within the shipping container is an absorbent assembly having a body with a central cavity. The absorbent assembly body is formed by a plurality of removable absorbent assembly elements. That is the absorbent assembly elements are sized to pass through the passage into the space within the shipping container. As such, after use, the absorbent assembly body elements may be removed and the remaining components may be sterilized. After sterilization, new absorbent assembly body elements are inserted into the inner space and the dry cryogenic shipping container is used again.
摘要:
A reliquifier using a cryocooler in which an insulated sleeve surrounds a portion of the cold head, a first stage cooling station, and a second stage cooling station, including a condenser. Gas is conveyed from a cryostat to the insulated sleeve, where it is liquefied as it passes over the cold head. An end of the insulated sleeve is connected to a liquid transfer tube for conveying condensed fluid back to the cryostat.
摘要:
A Dewar vessel (1) for automated cryosubstitution or low-temperature substitution is disclosed. The invention further discloses an apparatus (10) for automated liquid transfer for cryosubstitution or low-temperature substitution. The apparatus (10) encompasses a container (50) that encompasses at least one specimen holder (2) and at least one reservoir holder (20); and wherein a movable transfer container (35) for automated exchange of at least one liquid (42) between the at least one specimen holder (2) and the at least one reservoir holder (20) is provided.
