Scope of the procurement
Estimated total value: 1 100 000 EUR ๐Ÿ’ฐ
Short description:
Both CRYOFREE 3He/4He DR should be designed for use with a superconducting magnet capable of generating fields up to 14 Tesla. At this time, we seek to purchase only one such 14 Tesla persistent superconducting solenoid. But, because second identical superconducting solenoid is planned for purchase at a later date, the two CRYOFREE 3He/4He DR must be identical in capability to operate the 14 Tesla persistent superconducting solenoid.
Show more
The overall function of both CRYOFREE 3He/4He DR is to cool both quantum materials for study using custom built experimental apparatus and quantum microscope systems for technology development, to temperatures as low at 10mK and in magnetic fields up to 14 Tesla. For this function, we seek to purchase a cryofree Helium Recovery and Recycling Liquifier facility.
