Helium & Liquid Helium

Liquid Helium

Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless gas with a strong, pungent odor. It is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen and is commonly used as a refrigerant and in the production of fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals. Ammonia is toxic, flammable and corrosive and must be handled with care.

Properties:

  • Liquid helium is the coldest substance known to man, with a boiling point of -452.1°F (-268.93°C), and it can cool materials to within a few thousandths of a degree above absolute zero.

  • It has very low viscosity and thermal conductivity, which makes it an excellent coolant for many applications.

  • It is also non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive.

Applications

  • Liquid helium is used in cryogenics research, where it is used to cool materials to extremely low temperatures in order to study their properties.

  • It is also used in superconductivity research, where its extremely low temperatures are used to study the properties of superconducting materials.

  • It is used in cooling systems for certain types of scientific equipment, such as MRI machines and particle accelerators.

  • It is also used in the aerospace industry, to cool the sensors and instruments on board of satellites and other space-based equipment.

  • It is also used in the manufacturing of semiconductors, where its low temperatures are used to create a clean and stable environment for the manufacturing process.

Handling and storage:

  • Liquid helium is typically stored and transported in specially designed insulated containers and dewars.

  • It requires special handling methods and safety precautions due to its.
