Abstract (en)

[origin: US2013205826A1] A cooling apparatus having a closed cooling circuit for cooling objects to semi-cryogenic or cryogenic temperatures includes a compressor to compress a gaseous coolant, and from which the coolant exits in a compressed gaseous state, an after-cooler connected downstream from the compressor, whereby the coolant exits largely in gaseous form, a counterflow heat exchanger having a feed line and return line arranged in such a way that the compressed coolant is liquefied in the feed line as the relieved coolant flowing through the return line is being heated. A cooling head that is connected with the feed line and return line. A coolant can flow through the cooling head whereby the coolant evaporates. The cooling head is arranged in a vacuum chamber, which can be joined with a low-pressure source, and is joined by flexible connecting lines with the feed line and return line of the counterflow heat exchanger.
