Single-stage PTCs (Gifford-McMahon type) for cooling temperatures of 25-120 K
Cold head and rotary valve are separated by a flexible tube in order to reduce vibration and noise from the rotary valve motor.

| |
| Cold head | Compressor input power (nominal) | No-load temperature | Cooling power |
| PTS8030-SO | 1.8 kW (220 V) | 35 K | 33 W @ 80 K |
| PTS8030-DI | 1.8 kW (220 V) | 20 K | 30 W @ 60 K |
| PTS2530-DI | 4 kW (380 V) | < 20 K | 45 W @ 40 K |
| PTS2530-DI | 6 kW (380 V) | < 20 K | 38 W @ 30 K |
| PTS2530-DI | 12 kW (380 V) | < 20 K | 55 W @ 30 K |

Applications of single-stage PTCs:
Small scale air/nitrogen liquefaction
Detector cooling
Cooling of high temperature superconductors (motors, magnets, etc.)
Radiation shield cooling
|
|
|  |
| |
Two-stage PTCs (Gifford-McMahon type) for cooling temperatures near 4 K |
| |
Our two-stage pulse tube coolers employ a flexible split line between rotary valve and cold head (length of split line: 0.5-1.0 m)
| Advantages: |
Reduction of residual vibrations and EMI from rotary valve
Easy replacement of rotary valve |
