Requirements / Specification Document

TITLE: Compressors

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Radio Frequency Technology Division Superconductive Electronics Group (672.06)

General Statement of Need:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), particularly the Superconductive Electronics Group (672.06), develops and disseminates Josephson Voltage Standard (JVS) systems as a primary reference for the SI volt. To effectively support the development and showcasing of the JVS systems, there is a distinct need for both a water-cooled and an air-cooled helium compressor. The compressors are essential components of the larger JVS system and are required to pair with Sumitomo RDK-205D2 coldheads to enable operation at 4 K. The water-cooled compressor enables flexibility in the lab for simultaneous system operations, while the air-cooled model is ideal for demonstrations at conferences, offering portability and ease of setup without requiring extensive cooling infrastructure.
