Standard Configuration
The Janis JDry series cryogen-free dilution refrigerator includes two standard models, both offering convenient push-button cooling to <10 mK using a single pulse tube cryocooler. The JDry-250-QT includes a 300 mm (12”) diameter cold plate and offers >250 µW @ 100 mK cooling power. The larger JDry-500-QPro is equipped with a 500 mm (20”) diameter cold plate, and offers >450 µW of cooling power. The powerful, fully automated NI LabVIEW™ based “JACoB” gas handling controller lets you run the system, without the system running your life!
Single Pulse Tube Cryocooler Design
Janis JDry dilution refrigerators require only a single pulse tube cryocooler to reach their rated temperature and cooling power specifications, even in the larger JDry-500-QPro configuration. By contrast, other manufacturers often resort to using a second cryocooler in their 400 µW refrigerators. Janis engineers achieved this breakthrough by tapping into excess cryocooler capacity; this often unused capacity is made available to intercept conductive heat loads. The result is a 50% reduction in scheduled cryocooler maintenance costs, and fewer opportunities for unscheduled mechanical problems.
Generous Wiring Provisions
The JDry-500-QPro includes (12) NW-100 experimental wiring ports, which can accommodate up to 270 semirigid cables. The smaller JDry-250-QT includes (2) NW-100 ports, and accommodates up to 54 semirigid cables.
Robust Construction
All Janis dilution refrigerators are designed and manufactured to provide a lifetime of reliable operation. Only silver brazing and TIG welding is used to fabricate the heat exchangers, mixing chamber, and all components of the refrigerator “core.” No soft solders are used in the mK region of the system, eliminating this historically common source of leakage in dilution refrigerators. In the unlikely event of a problem, the modular design of the dilution core enables simple access and maintenance of the system.
Convenient Automated Operation
Janis JDry dilution refrigerators include fully automated operation, via touch panel controller. The graphical user interface (GUI) provides intuitive information about the state of all valves, gauges, and pumps. The touch panel controller can be operated manually if desired, or in fully automatic mode via preconfigured scripts. An industrial strength National Instruments Linux based controller running LabVIEW™ ensures reliable system operation, including advanced power management features. An API programming language allows user-developed or third-party experimental software to interact with the LabVIEW™ system control software. All key operating features can be accessed remotely via Ethernet interface.
