Oak Ridge, TN —The ORTEC Products Group of AMETEK Advanced Measurement Technology has introduced ICS™, an Integrated Cryocooling System that supports premium detector resolution without the use of liquid nitrogen (LN2).
ICS is the newest integrated electromechanical cooling system from ORTEC for high-purity Germanium (HPGe) radiation detectors and exploits the latest advancements in cryogenic technology to provide LN2-free operation with no loss of detector performance. ICS delivers significant benefits to users who want a state-of-the-art electromechanical cooling solution by incorporating a unique hardened cryostat that eliminates thermal cycling and is capable of operating over an extended environmental range.
According to Frank Vorwald, ORTEC Business Unit Manager, “ICS incorporates ACS™ (Active Cancellation System) technology that virtually eliminates vibrational and audible noise. The result is resolution performance comparable to LN2-cooled systems in all operational orientations.”
“This makes the ICS the preferred choice for users requiring premium resolution and versatility over a wide range of HPGe applications. The system integrates easily into either new or existing gamma spectrometry installations and is compatible with a range of ORTEC and non-ORTEC detector models and signal processing electronics,” he adds.
