A wide range cryoprocessor is disclosed which allows for the freezing and the thawing of bio-samples in a single unit, and at controlled rates. Improvements have been made to enhance freezing performance by switching the liquid nitrogen flow control to the extreme downstream side. A second feature has been added to the cryoprocessor, capability to raise the temperature of a sample environment to a user's requirements through the use of a flashed cryogen and heating that gas flow for use in the heat exchanger on the freezer.

Systems and methods for a wide range cryoprocessor

A cryogenic system to remove energy includes a heat engine to store content at a predetermined temperature; one or more fans to deliver air flow through the heat engine; a cryogenic storage unit to store cryogen and having one or more insulated pipes thermally coupled to the heat engine to cool the heat engine; one or more reuse pipes coupled to one or more insulated pipes to send a portion of cryogen gas flow back to the cryogenic storage for reuse; a controller to maintain the predetermined temperature; and an on-board power generator to supply operating power to the controller and the one or more fans.

Self generating power generator for cryogenic systems

This application uses technology found in existing patents U.S. Pat. No. 7,823,394 and U.S. Pat. No. 7,621,148B1. The application solves the problem of internal icing within bio-sample storage freezers by introducing three new techniques to traditional mechanical freezers. Highly effective hybrid insulation technique, Internal purging using water vapor free air and Close tolerance fitment of internal sub-assemblies.

System and methods for improvements to a ultra-low temperature bio-sample storage system

Systems and methods are disclosed that expand environmental support for an HVAC system with an HVAC fluid circulating throughout by vaporizing a cryogen; and sparging the vaporized cryogen to dispense sparge bubbles to the HVAC fluid to cool the HVAC fluid.

Controlled environment expander

A system provides the flow control of a cryogenic element to remove heat from an environment. The system includes a cryogenic storage to store a cryogen; a cryogenic delivery system coupled to the cryogenic storage to transport the cryogen; a distributor coupled to the cryogenic delivery system, the distributor having a plurality of distribution lead tubes to evenly distribute the enthalpic potential of the cryogenic element; and a heat exchanger coupled to the distribution lead tubes.

Flow control of a cryogenic element to remove heat

A cryogenic self powered system includes a cooled chamber having a hot face and a cold face; a power generator coupled to the hot face and the cold face to generate electricity therefrom; and a working fluid coupled to the cooled chamber and to the power generator.

Cryogenic cooling system with vaporized cryogen sparging cooling enhancement

Systems and methods are disclosed to provide an ultra low temperature (ULT) cryogenic processor apparatus. The apparatus includes an external housing with flat sides; an inner housing coupled to the external housing to define a vacuum region there between; material disposed in the vacuum region to provide redundant insulation and structural support; and a cryogenic heat exchanger contained in the inner housing.

Thermal insulation technique for ultra low temperature cryogenic processor

Systems and methods are disclosed to insulate a vessel includes placing a plurality of shells on all sides of the vessel without providing a direct energy pathway from outer walls of the vessel to the inner walls of the vessel; placing the shells under a vacuum; cryogenically cooling the shells to a cryogenic temperature; and while under vacuum, allowing the shell temperature to rise from the cryogenic temperature to ambient temperature.
