Sensor and instrument coolers, cryostats and dewars enhance sensitivity or allow sensors to function in demanding, high-temperature environments. Products include water-cooled sensor jackets. A cryostat is an apparatus that is used to maintain a constant low temperature and utilizes vacuum space and other various methods for intercepting heat to a superconducting magnet. A water-cooled sensor jacket is used where the cooling water system is employed to indicate abnormal engine temperature. There are many types of a cryostat. Examples include liquid cryogen-free systems and dewars. Liquid cryogen-free systems use a superconducting magnet system, which is cooled to 4.2K without using liquid cryogens. Liquid cryogen-free systems are used at places where transferring of liquid cryogens is difficult. A Dewar provides superior thermal performance because it combines advanced vacuum design and multiple layers of super-insulation technology. Other sensor and instrument coolers, cryostats and dewars are commonly available.

There are several ways in which sensor and instrument coolers, cryostats, and dewars function.. A sensor instrument cooler uses a cryostat which employs a pump-out port for vacuum space and safety overpressure devices that protect personnel and equipment in case of vacuum space overpressure. A sensor is mounted on the water-cooled jacket. In a water-cooled sensor jacket a setpoint is adjusted to emit an alarm when the temperature rises above the adjusted temperature. Liquid cryogen-free systems eliminate the liquid cryogen reservoirs and thus its size and weight is reduced. A Dewar flask is commonly used. A Dewar flask provides vacuum integrity and tolerance less than .001. Standard magnet Dewars are available with liquid nitrogen shielding, belly sections, and helium-vapor shielding. Sensor and instrument instrument coolers, cryostats and dewars are designed and manufactured to meet most industry specifications.
