Cryogen Tanks

Space Based Solid Cryogen Tank

Space based infrared optics using solid cryogenic coolers utilize Duocel® aluminum foam as an isothermalizer and baffle structure. Keeping a solid cryogen at a uniform temperature gives the infrared optics a longer useful lifetime.

Liquid Nitrogen Tank

Duocel Aluminum foam is used as the structural core, heat exchanger, and anti-slosh baffle in a lightweight conformal pressure tank. The tank stores liquid nitrogen for an airborne infrared telescope system.
