Presentation

The field of competences of DSBT relates to the cryotechnology in a broad range of temperatures since a few hundred millikelvins until approximately 100 K Our programs relate mainly to the placement of superfluid helium applied to installations of big size, cryogenics associated with thermonuclear fusion and the cryogenic ​refrigerators in particular for the space applications.

The Department consists of 6 laboratories (three "thematic" groups and three "support" groups):
• Refrigeration and Thermohydraulics Laboratory (LRTH)
• Cryocoolers and Space Cryogenics Laboratory (LCCS)
• Cryogenics for Fusion Laboratory
• Electronics and Automatics Laboratory (LEA)
• Liquefaction, Refrigeration and Characterization Laboratory (LLRC)
• Calculations and Cryogenic Design Laboratory (L3C)
