70K cryocooler-BMC704

The 70K Cryocooler for infrared sensor cooling is a sophisticated piece of technology designed to maintain the optimal operating temperatures required for high-performance infrared sensors, particularly in space applications. These sensors require cryogenic temperatures to function effectively, as lower temperatures enhance their speed, sensitivity, and image quality .

 

Product Description:

A 70K Cryocooler is engineered to provide active cooling for infrared sensors, ensuring they operate at temperatures below ambient, which is crucial for capturing high-resolution images and maximizing the light spectrum in the infrared range. The cryocooler operates on mechanical principles, such as the Stirling cycle, to achieve these low temperatures. It is designed to be lightweight, noiseless, and to provide constant low-temperature refrigeration, which is essential for cooled infrared detectors, especially short-wave-infrared (SWIR) detectors .

 

Product Advantages:

 

1. High Cooling Efficiency: The 70K cryocooler is capable of delivering significant cooling power, with some models achieving a cooling capacity of more than 0.4W @ 80K at 71°C ambient temperature. This performance margin allows detector temperatures to reach down to 70K, which is essential for high-performance IR-detectors .

 

2. Reliability and Long Life: Designed with high reliability in mind, some cryocoolers are built to last, with lifetimes exceeding 30,000 hours. This extended life span ensures consistent performance and minimal maintenance, which is crucial for applications where continuous cooling is required .
