Best way to design cryogen NL2 system piping?

09/11/2007 6:35 PM

I am looking for information of what is the best mathod of joining copper ro stainless steel or copper to copper for running LN2 thru. I need to design a system that will cool a crystal both on the top and bottom and to do this I need to find a way to design the piping to connect from the vacuum piping to the mounts between the crystal. I believe at one point I found that silver brazing is the way to go but need to back that up. can someone help?

Friction welding works well for copper and stainless. Copper to copper is fairly simple to silver solder.

Tom,

Thank you, would you be able to point me in the direction of information that would be able to back this up? I ask for I need to supply my boss with data saying what is the best way to join material for thermal reasons.

for standard sized tubing I would look into face seal type fittings, VCO or VCR type for mechanical connections. Orbital welding is also available for SS-SS configurations.

Face seal mfg try Cajon or parker and perhaps Swagelok.

Companies such as Air Liquide or Air Products are good professional resources in the U.S. of A
