Contributing multi-disciplinary expertise  [ Return towards  Our competences  ]

  Cryogenics, to take just one example, seldom features as a taught option on the academic program of Universities and specialist Engineering Schools but it is an area that calls for a great number of disciplines.

At the design phase, we have to consider phase transitions, supercritical fluids, two-phase flows, thermo-mechanical stresses, thermo-acoustic oscillations and other distinctive characteristics that emerge at very low temperatures.

At the manufacturing end, cryogenics requires us to master the structure and super-insulation materials, the techniques of assembly and connection, tightness tests and quality assurance procedures. For our teams this a training ground for excellence.
