Cryocooler

Cryocooler

Cryocoolers are the devices used to reach cryogenic temperatures by cycling certain gases. A cryostat is likely to be used to reach and/or maintain similar conditions or keep some environment in cryogenic stasis. Through the use of cryocoolers, it is possible to reach temperatures near absolute zero.
