Description

UKRI wishes to establish a Contract for the provision of a Cyroplant which has the capacity rated at 2kW at 4K (equivalent to 350W at 2K.), for the National Cryogenic Facility at Daresbury Laboratory. The cryoplant is to have the capability to provide cooling at 2K, 4K and 20K to multiple users. This capability has been specified to enable UKRI-STFC to meet requirements identified by all initial users and is scalable to meet varying demand. This is to expand UKRI-STFCs existing expertise in cryogenics and experience in running a cryoplant as a facility user.
