Joule Thomson Cryogenic Minicoolers

Overview
Honeywell has more than 70 years experience in developing bespoke Cryogenic Solutions for defense applications that utilize cooled infrared seeker technology.

Our product range includes:
  • Fixed Orifice Joule Thomson Minicooler - Simple design to offer reliability at low cost when minimizing gas consumption is not critical.
  • Dual Flow Joule Thomson Minicooler - The Dual Flow Minicooler provides a variable control of gas flow with a high primary flow which cools the missile sensor to operating temperature in a rapid and precise time. The secondary flow maintains the sensor operating temperature while efficiently controlling the gas supply.
  • Demand Flow Joule Thomson Minicooler - The Demand Flow Minicooler provides a continuous regulation of gas flow with a high primary flow which cools the missile sensor to operating temperature in a rapid and precise time. Once at temperature, the Minicooler controls the flow to match the heat load demand across a wide ambient temperature range. When compared with the Dual Flow Minicooler the Demand Flow Cooler increases precision and control to improve flight duration.
