Cryocooler Technologies
At the forefront of the development and implementation of
Joule-Thomson and Stirling cycle cryocooler technologies
The latest generation of Honeywell self
regulating, ‘demand-flow’ J-T coolers
are now even more effective in terms of
temperature stability and minimisation
of gas usage.
Honeywell J-T coolers and gas supplies
have been specified on most of the missile
programs, either in use or under devel-
opment within Europe, and are now being
applied to major programs within the
USA and the Far East.
Linear compressor Stirling cycle cryocoolers
The result of development and
industrialisation of an Oxford University
design concept, Honeywell Cryocoolers
incorporate unique, patented technology
that sets them aside from other Stirling
cycle cooler designs.
They are the only coolers in their class
that are offered with a warranted life of
over 20,000 hours, whilst actual operating
life is designed to substantially exceed this.
Designed for use in high-duty industrial
applications to replace existing cooling
systems using liquid nitrogen or Joule-
Thomson techniques, Honeywell cryo-
coolers are also designed and qualified
to meet exacting Military Standards.
Joule-Thomson cryogenic coolers
For over fifty years Honeywell has been at
the forefront of innovation and development
of Joule-Thomson (J-T) coolers for the
cryogenic cooling of infra-red detectors
used in thermal imagers and missile
seekers. With few moving parts, J-T
coolers remain the simplest, lightest and
easiest solution for cryogenic cooling in
many applications.
Joule-Thomson (J-T) coolers have the ability
to achieve a desired temperature extremely
rapidly (often in less than one second) and
maintain those temperatures within a
tight tolerance, whilst at the same time
optimising gas consumption, making the
Honeywell J-T cooler the only choice for
many applications.
Integrated Technologies
Honeywell is firmly established within the
aircraft equipment industry and has
remained at the forefront of the develop-
ment and implementation of fluid control
technology solutions for aerospace and
defence applications. For over fifty years
the company has been the acknowledged
world-wide leader in Joule-Thomson cooling
technologies for infra-red applications.
More recently the development of Stirling
cycle cryocoolers has affirmed the company
as the premier provider of ultra long life
cooling devices for applications within
industrial, communications and space
environments.
Today, Honeywell is involved in the supply
of equipment for the demanding and often
harsh environments of missiles, fighting
vehicles, underwater weapons and
submarines. Honeywell also provides
a comprehensive range of Customer
Services to support products in service.
For the future, Honeywell equipment is
already specified for use on many of the
major missile programs entering service
in the first decade of the 21st century,
and is also penetrating new markets
such as Security and Homeland defence
with advanced technology, long life
cryocoolers. All of this has resulted from
the continuous high levels of investment
in product development.
Pressure vessels for gas storage
The technology and manufacturing
processes originally developed to
provide safe, high-pressure gas
supplies conforming to Def.Stan
58-96 for Joule-Thomson (J-T)
coolers, has resulted in the creation
of high integrity pressure vessels.
These allow for the successful
storage of gases at high pressure
over long periods of time, without
degradation of performance.
Gas bottles are machined from
solid and electron beam welded.
This ensures consistent mechanical
integrity and repeatability of
structure and shape, even after
The heart of this unique technology centres
on ‘non-contact’ dynamic sealing of the
internal working gas, coupled with a high-
reliability linear electric drive.
The product concept continues to evolve
in order to meet the individual and exacting
requirements of our customers from the
communications and instrumentation
markets, including manufacturing
compressors qualified for space satellite
applications.
successive charge/discharge
cycles. Storage life is typically
in the range of 20-25 years.
The release of stored gas is most
typically achieved by electrical
initiation of a pyrotechnic motor,
acting on a specially machined
release mechanism, thus ensuring
a rapid, reliable release of the
stored gas.
In all cases Honeywell manufacture
high pressure gas bottles to exacting
cleanliness standards, thereby
ensuring that downstream
components are protected from
contamination.
Typical uses are:
• Supply of cryogenic cooling
gas to infra-red missile seekers
• Wing deployment systems
• Gyro spin-up
• Weapons release
• Engine cover removal systems
