Low Temperature Systems Department (DSBT) - Welcome

Welcome to the DSBT Website

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 cryorefrigerators in particular for the space applications.

Refrigeration and Thermo Hydraulics Laboratory (LRTH)

The Refrigeration and Thermo Hydraulics Laboratory (LRTH) is working on two research themes refrigeration of thermonuclear fusion machines and analysis of the behavior of helium at very high Reynolds number.
Cryocoolers and Space Cryogenics Laboratory (LCCS)

The Cryocoolers and Space Cryogenics Laboratory is dedicated to the development of cryocoolers and specific components. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of small-sized systems and / or dedicated to space applications.
Cryogenics for Fusion Laboratory (LCF)

The activity of the Cryogenics for Fusion Laboratory is directed towards the problems of technology involved in this field of scientific research. The scanning fields relate to fusion with magnetic containment and fusion by inertial confinement.
Electronics and Instrumentation Laboratory (LEA)

The Electronics and Instrumentation activity provides the technical support in the measurement and control fields associated with the cryogenic devices developed in this department.
Cryogenic Design and Calculations Laboratory (L3C)

The L3C laboratory consists of a mechanical and thermal design office intended for design the experimental devices of the service as well as a set of project managers able to take on projects.
