CORE CRYOGENIC TECHNOLOGY
From conventional cascade refrigeration to SCI single-compressor direct cooling.

−190°C
Mixed refrigerant
One direct-cooling architecture across a wider range
Conventional ultra-low-temperature systems become progressively more complex as cascade stages are added. SCI applies mixed-refrigerant and liquid-nitrogen-production know-how to a single-compressor direct-cooling architecture, simplifying the refrigeration chain while extending low-temperature capability.
Simpler architecture. Fewer components. Wider ultra-low-temperature capability.
Why the architecture matters
- Reduced mechanical complexity compared with multi-stage cascade systems
- Compact equipment footprint and lower system weight
- Fewer service points and lower maintenance requirements
- High reliability from a shorter, more controllable refrigeration chain
- Reference applications extending from 0°C to −190°C by configuration

Reference capability and architecture are based on company-supplied technical material. Final performance depends on chamber configuration, thermal load and operating conditions.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY & SYSTEM RELIABILITY
Intelligent PID control reduces thermal conflict while twelve refrigeration technologies protect stable operation.
Cooling capacity matched to the actual demand
Traditional chambers may run the compressor at high output and use heating to offset excess cooling. SCI intelligent PID control evaluates the real thermal demand, starts the compressor only when cooling is required, and regulates output closer to the target curve.
No unnecessary heating during cooling. No unnecessary cooling during heating.
System-level reliability
- Pressure, temperature and system-state parameters participate in control
- Expansion, injection, subcooling and oil management are coordinated
- Protective logic monitors overload, bypass, oil pressure and discharge conditions
- Long-distance and multi-terminal installations are calculated as a system
