Megatech have introduced a new affordable multipurpose cryogenic refrigeration system for ultra low temperature cooling. Based on the industry standard PFC series it can be used in conjunction with most vacuum equipment. Manufactured by U.S. based Brooks Automation, and is designated the XC-8800 HC cryochiller. This closed loop cryogenic refrigeration system is capable of providing up to 4000 watts of cooling.

Water vapour and other condensable substances can be captured by freezing them on to a cold surface such as a cryocoil or chevron baffle.Capable of cooling in a temperature range of -98 to-130 degrees C, and the cryocondensation of water vapour in the vacuum systems at speeds of up to 220,000 L/secs. When connected to a vacuum system the XC can dramatically reduce the need for pumpdown systems and increase product throughput. This versatile product will pump water vapour within minutes of starting and can defrost within four minutes giving fast cycle capability.

Every unit has RS-232 and a gauge port relayed as standard, as well as a manual machine interface. An easy to read L.C.D. display is included with a keypad for navigation and selection of programmes.

Features include a rapid balance pressure check, which gives a balance pressure reading within 20 minutes which helps maximise tool uptime. Self diagnostics are included, whilst the patented green refrigerants are globally compliant, non toxic and non inflammable.

Optional extras include casters and lifting rings for ease in moving the equipment. Also the dual circuit enables the XC to cool two cryosurfaces (two crycoils, coil and baffle, or two baffles) which can be cooled or defrosted separately.

This innovative cooler through primarily for use in the Semiconductor manufacturing Industry has many application in Laboratory, Research and Manufacturing Industries.
