About
TowerDry 1K is a compact vertical cryogenic platform designed to bring continuous 1 K operation to experiments requiring space, accessibility, and flexibility.
‍
Built around a closed-cycle pulse-tube cryostat and a dedicated helium-4 circulation loop, TowerDry provides stable operation down to 1.2 K without liquid-helium refilling, with more than 30 mW of cooling power at 1.5 K and a large experimental chamber supporting cold breadboards up to Ø300 mm.

Feedthroughs & pulse-tube platform

TowerDry’s 300 K top interface combines flexible customer feedthrough access with the pulse-tube cooling platform. It includes 2 × DN40 and 2 × DN50 customer ports for DC/RF wiring, optical fibers, and custom interfaces. The system comes with a 1.5 W pulse tube as standard, with 0.9 W and 2 W options available.

Multi-stage cryogenic architecture

TowerDry combines a compact vertical footprint with a large usable cold volume. Inside the cryostat, staged 50 K, 4 K, and 1 K environments provide space for shielding, wiring, and custom integrations, with up to Ø373 mm of usable space at 4 K and a customer platform up to Ø300 mm at 1 K.
