New Method for Electrical Cooling of Germanium Gamma-Ray Detectors

For those to whom cooling germanium detectors with liquid nitrogen is anathema, such as fuel enrichment plants, hot rooms, whole-body counters, or stack monitors — ORTEC's new electromechanical cooler, New ELECTRICOOL^™, provides a reliable answer. New technology yields a light, detachable, omnidirectional cold head that can be positioned up to 50 feet from the helium compressor. New ELECTRICOOL is essentially maintenance free, requiring service only once every five years.
