Applications with impact

As well as mission-critical cooling systems for space and science projects (e.g. Large Hadron Collider, Planck Space Observatory), our capabilities directly benefit many sectors:

9 Agritech (example: cold storage/transportation for the food industry)

9 Life science (example: cryoprobes for cancer treatment)

9 Power (example: prevention of overheating in underground cables)

9 Security & defence (example: remote sensing and Earth observation)

9 Aerospace; electronics; telecommunications

Fuelling innovation in space-age cooling

Our pioneering capabilities in cryogenics help extend the frontiers of astronomy and space exploration – and deliver real value for wider industry too.
