RC102 & RC110 Sample in Vacuum Continuous Flow
Cryogenic Workstation Cryostats
Designed by the inventor of the
original SuperTran, CryoTran and
RC110 continuous flow cryostats.
The RC102 and the RC110 are the
superior, versatile flow cryostats.
These systems offer the fastest
cooldown, highest efficiency and
greatest stability in the industry
– compare! PLUS, our outstanding accomplishments extend into
efficient manufacturing – offering
the best technology at the lowest
price!
These high-tech systems are easy
to operate – SOPHISTICATED
SIMPLICITY, VERSATILITY and
“PERFORMANCE BY DESIGN”. The
highly efficient detachable stainless steel flexible transfer line connects the cryostat to the dewar.
A needle valve allows fine adjustment of flow. A heater attached
to the sample mount supplies the
additional heat required to obtain
higher temperatures. Uses either
liquid helium or nitrogen. Super
variable temperature operation
from <2 K to 325 K (up to 1000
K extended temperature range
available).
The standard system includes a 6
foot (8 foot optional) transfer line
with a 48 inch (60 inch optional)
storage dewar leg.

RC102 & RC110 Sample in Vacuum Continuous
Flow Cryogenic Workstation Cryostats
Drawings CRC-110-2 and CR-102 show the
standard models RC102 and RC110. The following
underlined phrases are cited in the drawings.
The typical experimental arrangement will consist
of the RC102 or RC110 system, a liquid helium (or
nitrogen) storage dewar, helium gas cylinder with
pressure regulator, and a vacuum pump.
The transfer line is supplied with the system.
The storage dewar insert leg will be inserted into the
liquid cryogen. A small pressure is used to transfer
the liquid out of the storage dewar into the transfer
line and directly to the sample mount. Pressure
inside the storage dewar is adjusted using a helium
gas cylinder containing helium gas. The flow control
valve regulates the flow; fine control can be made
by turning the valve control knob. The transfer line
storage dewar insert leg seals to the standard 0.5 inch
quick connect on the top of most storage dewars.
The 48 inch length fits storage dewars up through
100 liters. An activated charcoal cryopump built
into the transfer leg will automatically pump when
inserted into liquid helium or nitrogen maintaining
excellent vacuum operation during extended periods
of operation.
The transfer line inserts into the cryostat from the top
and quick disconnect for transfer line/WORKSTATION
separation is standard.
Electrical connections to the sample are made
through the O-ring sealed ports located on the
instrumentation housing. Provisions are provided
for future requirements with each port large enough
to accept standard 61-pin connectors. Easy vacuum
shroud removal or quick disconnect for sample
access is provided. The top of the instrumentation
housing is positive bolt sealed to prevent accidental
tearing of the wiring from the system. Other systems
use quick connects on the top and bottom of their
instrumentation housing and if the wrong clamp
is removed the wiring will be abruptly torn from
the system.
The evacuation valve for the transfer system is located
above the valve control knob. The evacuation valve
for the sample region is on the instrumentation
housing. The vacuums are completely independent.
The systems feature a large 1.50 diameter copper
mount with wound heater, provision for temperature
sensor and (8) #4-40 tapped holes for attaching your
samples. Stable higher temperatures can be attained
by using the heat obtained from the wound heater.
Operation below 4.2 K is achieved by reducing the
pressure at the helium vent.
A shorter 1 inch diameter support tube offers a more
stable sample mount. Four window optical access
standard; optional bottom window is available. The
vacuum shroud can be rigidly mounted before using
four (4) ¼ -20 mounting holes.
System specifications listed below are for a standard
upright tubular cryostat.

RC110
What is two-phase flow? Flow systems
deliver liquid helium continuously over a long
distance. During this transfer process, some
liquid helium is vaporized. This gas cannot vent
or escape from the transfer line so it flows
with the liquid, two phase flow. This vaporliquid flow cools the sample mount. When
the vapor impinges on the sample mount, the
temperature rises; when the liquid hits, the
temperature drops; the result is temperature
instability.
One solution to this problem is to surround and
shield the sample cooling flow with another
flow of liquid helium. Consequently, this added
shield flow increase greatly the total liquid
helium consumption.
The RC110 uses the newest most advanced
solution. An internal metallized phase
separator eliminates all temperature
fluctuations. Revolutionary temperature
stability is obtained in the most difficult to
control temperature region between 6 and 20
K, where two-phase flow causes problems.
Two-phase flow ceases to be a problem
typically above 15 to 20 K where the flow can
be reduced so that only gaseous helium exits
the transfer line. At this point, all the liquid
helium in the transfer line is vaporized; only
gas (single phase) cools the sample mount.
The model RC110 features convenient
single thread radiation shield attachment.
The most efficient use of available space is
possible, shown in the 3 inch wafer cooler.
The transfer line connects to the model RC110
WORKSTATION in an extra sturdy clamp
arrangement, preventing undesirable bending
of transfer line insert leg.
U.H.V.
RC102 and RC110 Ultra High Vacuum
models feature rotatable “Conflat” interface
flanges, your choice of 2.75, 4.50 or 4.62,
etc. Distance from chamber interface to cold
finger can be selected to fit exactly your
chamber. Construction is all welded stainless
steel with low vapor pressure silver brazed
copper joints.
The model RC110-UHV has a heater
assembly built on the end of the transfer
line. This heater is not exposed to vacuum
and is instantly accessible. (Note: The phase
separator is not installed in this model). An
optional heater that mounts directly to the
inside of the sample mount is available for
the model RC102; this heater is accessible
through a mini “Conflat” flange.
COMPACT
COMPACT-SX TUBULAR
Many configurations are standard and
available to meet your needs. The models
CRC-102C and CRC-110C are standard
compact versions. Extra compact models
specifically designed for narrow gap magnetic
studies are models CRC-102SX and CRC110SX. The models CRC-102-DT and CRC-110T
are tubular (non optical) cryostats. Other
models are available and custom systems are
no problem.
INTEGRATED SYSTEMS
Turn-key integrated systems that include the
Cryogenic WORKSTATION with thermometry
or automatic temperature controller are
available. Systems are fully tested with
liquid helium to ensure complete integrated
performance.
