5.1 Intended use of equipment
The Cryomech Helium Reliquefier is designed to recondense the boil off from liquid
helium dewar/cryostats, and then return the Liquid Helium to the dewar/cryostat
establishing a closed Helium loop. It can be installed into cryostats already full of liquid
helium or be utilized to liquefy helium gas from gas cylinder to fill a dewar.
