Introduction

 ㆍ  Application areas

Cryogenic engineering may be classified into two large fields as follows: cryogenic refrigeration which is related to a device producing low temperature and its applications at low temperature. There have been too many existing cryogenic applications to enumerate all. The following shows some of them. A new application of cryogenic technology is, however, still emerging.

I. Cryogenic refrigeration 

II. Cryogenic applications 

A. Superconducting technology

 

 

B. Gas separation & liquefaction

 

 

C. Medical applications

 

 

D. Experimental aids

 


III. Relation between cryogenic engineering and mechanical engineering 

Cryogenic engineering is very closely related to mechanical and chemical engineering in general. It includes also various subjects such as material science, electric engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, etc. Many researches in cryogenic engineering are related to mechanical engineering in that cryogenic engineering deals with energy conversion and its procedures.
