Overview

Cryogenics – the science that addresses the production, effects and maintenance of very low temperatures – underpins a range of enabling technologies that impact our daily lives in ways that are not immediately apparent. This book provides a practical, hands-on reference source to promote exploitation and innovation in all areas of cryogenic science and technology. The book is particularly designed to aid those practitioners coming newly into Cryogenics, giving them a context and signposts for where to go for further information. It spans a broad range of applications and undoubtedly will contain new information useful to those already involved with Cryogenics. Key Features: This is devoted to the contemporary uses of cryogenics, informing over a wide area including the technology, key applications and economic impacts. The book is written by experts in the field, providing a best-practice handbook for scientific and industrial users of cryogenic technologies. The book gives readers practical tools/approaches that they can use in their own research or industry setting. The book contains extensive references that will aid further research and study. Provides a broader view, encompassing a range of established and emerging industrial/commercial applications. Links with the British Cryogenics Council’s “Fundamentals of Cryogenics” training course to support scientists, technicians and engineers within its academic and industrial membership organizations.

This book is a reference, not a textbook. The strength of this book is a comprehensive, up to-date presentation of the many areas that cryogenic technology touches on. Its primary value, as I see it, is as a reference source. (At the end of each chapter are many useful references, giving the reader ample resources to dig into whatever details they wish to pursue.) The question I needed to ask after reviewing this book is this: do I want this on my bookshelf along with my other cryogenic books? The bottom-line answer is definitely, yes. The book has a lot of strengths and can be a useful resource for pursuing further research into the wide field of cryogenic technology. I definitely recommend grabbing a copy, either hardcover if you have room on your bookshelf, or electronic version if you have room on your hard drive! John M.

Author Information

Tom Bradshaw was head of the Cryogenics and Magnetics Group at the STFC, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, where he worked on the development of closed-cycle coolers for space applications and the development of superconducting magnets for particle physics and light sources. He was a co-investigator on the Planck spacecraft project and is the author of many academic papers. He edited the proceedings of the ICEC27-ICMC2018 conference (published in the IOPP Conference Series earlier this year). He is also Chief Scientific Officer and Director of Bennamann Limited, which uses methane technology to improve the economics of small dairy farms. Beth Evans is Cryogenics Group Leader at the Joint European Torus (JET) – Culham Centre for Fusion Energy. She has previously worked on cryogenic system development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, in industry and at the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva. Beth is a member of the executive committee of the British Cryogenics Council, a professional association for scientists, technologists, engineers and business executives working in industry, academia and government agencies. John Vandore studied Engineering and Business, pursuing a career in Sales and Management in the automotive and flow-control industries, running companies in the UK and US involved in highly engineered products, many for cryogenic applications. John has recently been promoting cryogenics as an enabling technology and coordinating the British Cryogenic Cluster network. John is a member of the executive committee of the British Cryogenics Council.
