Helping to Accelerate Success at CERN by supplying two new 14 kW refrigeration systems (4.5 K) and matching cold compressors (1.9 K) to maintain the superconducting magnets at ultra-low temperatures.

Cooling the Giant Microscope:
For the European Spallation Source, Linde Kryotechnik supplied the two key systems—the Accelerator Cryogenic Plant (ACCP) and the Target Moderator Cryogenic Plant (TMCP).

Modernization of the Helium infrastructure by upgrading one (1999) of the two liquefaction plants and replacing the second (1996) with a L140. Both plants are now controlled by the same type of system.

Replacement of the compressor system:
Paul Scherrer Institute PSI was able to reduce its energy needs by 133.000 kWh/year, which corresponds with energy savings by 22%, thanks to the modification of their compressor system.
