Insulation Research
Research and testing of the qualities, capabilities, effectiveness and uses of various types of insulation for cryogenic projects.
CSA Corporate Sustaining Members:
Custom-built multilayer insulation (MLI) for spacecraft, launch vehicles and other cryogenic applications. R&D of new fabrication techniques and material combinations for lower-cost and more efficient systems. ISO 9001 and AS9100 certified.
Lydall and Unifrax are now Alkegen, a multilayer insulation manufacturer with low temperature vacuum insulation testing capabilities and competence to provide expert advice on system design.
Manufactures high-quality multilayer insulation for space and cryogenic terrestrial applications used in superconducting magnets and accelerators, as well as liquid gas tanks and infrastructure.
Cryogenic storage and thermal insulation systems, thermoacoustic cryocoolers, cryogenic instrumentation and electronics. Mass gauging system, large-scale pulse tube cryocoolers. Systems analysis capabilities.
Thermal straps made of copper, graphite and graphene. 150+ standard models to choose from. Custom design and gold-and-nickel plating are available. TAI never outsources, and it designs and assembles all straps in-house.
Thermal-management hardware solutions include standard and custom thermal straps, cold plates, radiators, cryostats and cryogenic cooling or storage systems. Services include thermal-vacuum testing, cryogenic engineering and thermal and fluid analysis.
