<strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong> AG<br />
CARL VON LINDE put cryogenic technology on a<br />
scientific basis, devising processes for air liquefaction<br />
and separation. Today’s worldwide cryogenic<br />
industry owes its excellent standing chiefly due to<br />
his creativity and entrepreneurial ability.<br />

Success<br />
is a matter of competence<br />
and partnership.<br />
Thank you for your interest in <strong>Linde</strong><br />
<strong>Kryotechnik</strong> AG. As a specialist in cryogenics<br />
and the world’s largest manufacturer of<br />
cryogenic equipment, we offer our customers<br />
an extensive portfolio of products and<br />
services.<br />
But what is special about <strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong><br />
What sets us apart from other vendors And<br />
why do more and more gas producers, research<br />
institutes and universities trust us in matters of<br />
gases and low temperatures<br />
This brochure will provide some answers and<br />
briefly survey the capabilities – and the unique<br />
philosophy – of <strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong>.
4<br />
Enterprise<br />
You can’t copy experience.<br />
You have to make your own.
It all began with Dr. Carl von <strong>Linde</strong>, who<br />
founded the company and gave his name<br />
to it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dawn of the cryogenic era came in 1895<br />
when he invented a process for liquefying<br />
atmospheric air and a variety of gases. As<br />
early as 1932, <strong>Linde</strong> installed the world’s<br />
first full-scale helium liquefaction system at<br />
Kharkov University in Ukraine. More than<br />
500 plants have since been placed in service<br />
worldwide.<br />
<strong>Our</strong> Pfungen location near Winterthur, Switzerland,<br />
now employs more than 70 experienced,<br />
committed engineers and technicians who<br />
plan, design and build apparatus for helium<br />
and hydrogen liquefaction as well as refrigeration<br />
systems capable of reaching temperatures<br />
between –193 °C and –271 °C.<br />
But engineering is just one aspect of <strong>Linde</strong><br />
<strong>Kryotechnik</strong>. <strong>Our</strong> partnership with our customers<br />
is defined not only by future oriented technical<br />
innovations but also by economical and<br />
reliable products and services – all delivered<br />
on time. Through these qualities and the know<br />
how accumulated over many decades, we have<br />
earned a worldwide reputation.<br />
Control is good.<br />
Partnership is always better.
You need an experienced partner when facing the complexities<br />
of cryogenic technology. In <strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong><br />
you are dealing with the market leader, an organization<br />
with decades of know how on which you can rely.<br />
<strong>Linde</strong>’s vast experience in designing and building<br />
cryogenic systems means that many of your processes<br />
become faster and more reliable.

Engineering<br />
<strong>The</strong> challenge is a thrill.<br />
Achieving it is even more so.
In cryogenic technology, just as in other<br />
fields, we grow by meeting challenges.<br />
Every new project represents a new<br />
challenge to us. Besides our off-the-shelf<br />
equipment, which can be adapted to suit<br />
individual needs, specialists at <strong>Linde</strong><br />
<strong>Kryotechnik</strong> also design custom built<br />
equipment for helium and hydrogen<br />
liquefaction as well as refrigeration<br />
systems.<br />
We continually work to improve and optimize<br />
all system components, using the experience<br />
and innovations derived from past projects.<br />
This understanding of quality has earned ISO<br />
9001:2000 certification for our products and<br />
services.<br />
But this by itself is not enough for us. Every<br />
project is assigned its own project manager<br />
along with the project team made up of process<br />
engineers, designers, and electrical engineers<br />
and technicians. And there’s more: As our<br />
customer, you receive detailed periodic reports<br />
from the project manager describing the status<br />
of the project and what steps come next.<br />
At <strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong>, quality always reveals<br />
itself as a sum of many positive details viewed<br />
in the light of the user’s individual requirements.<br />
This standard is not one you encounter<br />
every day, but it is the standard against which<br />
you can measure us every day.<br />
Trust always results from a good<br />
partnership.
Projects are executed under the <strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong> “phase model.”<br />
Every phase is followed by internal and external milestones and control<br />
points so that a high level of quality can be achieved in product and<br />
performance.<br />

Products<br />
You can buy hardware anywhere.<br />
What counts is know how.
<strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong> designs and builds<br />
cryogenic systems for the most varied fields,<br />
from fundamental research and industrial<br />
applications to the cooling of superconductors<br />
and cold neutron sources, fusion<br />
and fission applications, and the liquefaction<br />
of helium and hydrogen.<br />
This broad coverage imposes tough standards<br />
on our engineers, technicians and management,<br />
for these systems are largely based<br />
on our own design and manufacturing know<br />
how. Specially developed key components are<br />
designed for day-in, day-out service under the<br />
most severe conditions. And always in line with<br />
our customers’ special ideas.<br />
Cryogenic know how and capabilities offered by<br />
<strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong> cover<br />
● Helium liquefiers<br />
● Helium refrigerators<br />
● Helium recovery systems<br />
● Hydrogen liquefiers<br />
● Storage and distribution systems<br />
● Special cryogenic plant engineering<br />
Cryogenic systems are very complex, and only<br />
a few companies anywhere are in a position<br />
to take on the task of designing and building<br />
them. With more than 500 systems in service,<br />
<strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong> is the world leader. We are a<br />
reliable partner, extending support that ensures<br />
trouble-free operation over the long term, far<br />
beyond installation and commissioning.<br />
More than 500 installations in service<br />
all over the world bear witness to the trust<br />
our customers place in us.
Helium liquefiers<br />
<strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong> has decades of experience in<br />
helium liquefaction and offers a variety of standard<br />
and custom built equipment to suit every need<br />
and every application. <strong>The</strong> systems offered have<br />
capacities from 10 to over 3500 liters per hour and<br />
are thus of interest to universities and institutes,<br />
just as our specialty solutions are to gas producers.<br />
Helium recovery systems<br />
When liquid helium is drawn from an open loop,<br />
it normally cannot be returned to the liquefaction<br />
system without prior treatment. <strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong><br />
offers many single components for helium recovery<br />
as well as complete systems, from collection to<br />
reinjection into the helium liquefaction cycle.<br />
Storage and distribution systems<br />
A detailed knowledge of thermodynamics, working<br />
media and materials of construction enables us to<br />
design distribution systems ranging from simple<br />
transfer lines to complex distribution systems for<br />
specialty gases. We have mastered the storage<br />
of liquefied gases and offer our customers a wide<br />
selection of storage solutions.<br />
Helium refrigerators<br />
A helium refrigeration system is a closed loop<br />
installation in which a constant quantity of helium<br />
circulates continuously. <strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong> designs<br />
and builds special helium refrigeration systems<br />
rated at hundreds of watts to well over 20,000 W<br />
(equivalent power at 4.5 K) – there is no upper limit.<br />
For example, <strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong> delivered its first<br />
refrigeration system to CERN in Geneva as early<br />
as the 1960s. <strong>The</strong> company is now responsible for<br />
designing, building and commissioning the giant<br />
refrigeration systems of the Large Hadron Collider<br />
(LHC) project.<br />
Hydrogen liquefiers<br />
<strong>Linde</strong> <strong>Kryotechnik</strong> has a long tradition of building<br />
hydrogen liquefaction plants. <strong>The</strong> hydrogen capacities<br />
of the systems used begin at 150 liters per hour<br />
and range up to over 20,000 liters per hour. But our<br />
years of experience also enable us to respond to<br />
customer needs that go beyond these limits.<br />
Examples of proven key components used in our<br />
systems are aluminum plate heat exchangers and<br />
expansion turbines with gas and oil bearings, all<br />
designed and fabricated in our own production<br />
shops.<br />
Special cryogenic plant engineering<br />
One thing that makes cryogenics especially stimulating<br />
is the continuous exchange and discussion<br />
with our customers about how we can achieve their<br />
objectives, often leading to further questions and<br />
tasks for our engineers, some of which are beyond<br />
the boundaries of our core business, allowing us to<br />
extend and enhance our range in an exciting way<br />
and frequently arrive at completely novel cryogenic<br />
solutions.<br />
