Abstract
A helium recovery plant adapted to filter, compress, and purify helium gas collected from one or more helium-using instruments, as well as to liquefy and redistribute the purified gas within a closed system. The recovery plant is adapted to match the purification and liquefaction rate of the system with the consumption rate of the coupled instruments. Additionally, the recovery plant is adapted to match the liquefaction rate of a liquefaction module with a boil-off rate of liquid helium within a Dewar thereof. The recovery plant is further adapted to recycle helium therein in an effort to achieve zero loss.
