| Technical Description : |
| Our technology concerns a mechanical pulsing device for gas flows at supersonic speeds. The design of the system guarantees very good gas tightness. The efficiency of the system lies in the resulting low consumption of gas, in the possibility of pulsing gas flows at low temperatures (down to 20 K) and in its adaptability to all geometrical flow shapes. |
| |
| Potential applications : |
> Any application requiring the pulsing of high gas flow rates
> Generation of uniform supersonic flows
> Experiments at synchrotron light sources: e.g. detection of chemical reaction products, ion-molecule reactions at very low temperatures
> Protection of laser windows
> Spectroscopy, Isotope separation
> Thin film deposition (epitaxy) |
| |
| Benefits : |
> Adaptation of our system to any flow geometry
> Preservation of intrinsic flow characteristics (e.g. uniformity)
> Applications to the generation of gas flows at low temperatures
> Portability
> Operation with reduced pumping resources (low gas consumption)
