About us
Engineering at the cold end of physics
European Cryogenics is an independent private company founded by a team of experienced professionals who have worked in the development of cryogenic equipment for more than 10 years and in the field of rotary machines for almost 20 years. Our designers have collaborated on projects for leading research institutes, organizations for nuclear research and superconductivity research, as well as for the world's leading manufacturers of gas processing equipment.
We offer in-house design and development of cryogenic turboexpanders, cryogenic compressors, cryogenic pumps and circulators, including power units using dynamic gas bearing technology. All our devices are developed based on the requirements of individual customer applications — 100% customized — and we can also redesign our products for ball bearings or magnetic bearings. Our own team provides strength and stress analysis of materials, calculation and design of flow parts, insulation analysis and field service.
For our customers we customize products to their requirements, design prototypes to verify concepts, and provide serial production. Production is contracted to carefully selected, mostly local engineering companies equipped with modern machine tools — with individual parts manufactured by more than one manufacturer to ensure delivery reliability and short delivery times. Final assembly and setting is provided by our company.
