*The helium compressor package is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range
from 45F to 100F (7 to 38C). If the temperature is below 45F, increased viscosity of the
oil could prevent start-up and/or cause poor lubrication. Operation above 100F will cause
overheating and subsequent problems. If a unit must be subjected to either extreme, consult
Cryomech, Inc.
5.2.5 Safety devices
A number of safety switches and valves are located inside the compressor package and
on the cold head. They operate automatically, to protect the compressor package and
cold head from developing extreme conditions that can cause damage. Most of them are
totally transparent to the user and are monitored by the compressor control panel - see
