Cryogenic systems do require maintenance over time. All material decays over time. This decay, or half-life, is the release of atoms. Stainless steel is the primary material used in cryogenic systems and it too follows the rules of nature. As a result even the very best stainless steel vacuum jacketed piping will decay over time. This decay results in "loose" hydrogen atoms that affect the convection of all vacuum insulated systems. Simply put, over time your piping system will become less efficient. Fortunately there are steps to maintain your cryogenic system. Our well trained engineers are experienced in service, maintenance, and repair of LN2 piping systems.
If your systems have not been thoroughly examined in the past several years we encourage you to call us for an EVALUATION of your current system. Our engineers will run a diagnostic on the integrity of your vacuum jacketed piping system. Based on their findings, within a few weeks you will receive a diagnostic report that accounts for the integrity of your system and if anything is found to be in disorder our engineers will identify the problems and offer solutions as well.
PRINCETON CryoTech INC. also services cryogenic freezers, oxygen monitors, controllers and alarms as well. All freezers will experience natural wear and tear, fortunately most Liquid Nitrogen freezers are constructed at the highest quality level that technology can afford and for this reason freezers need relatively little repair. However, over time humans can take their toll on freezers; things such as little bumps and constant opening and closing of lids can result in excessive wear on the freezer gaskets and filling system. Do not hesitate to call us for an EVALUATION of the integrity of your freezers and supply systems; properly working freezers are crucial to the viability of sample storage and to the safety of staff members.
Oxygen monitors are especially important for the safety of staff members. A properly working oxygen monitor will inform all staff that there is a sufficient level of oxygen (usually 20.8 %) in the room. If a monitor is not working properly and a breech in the liquid nitrogen piping occurs, then the room could fill with pure nitrogen gas within seconds and the result can be suffocation and even death. Please do not hesitate to call us to set up an appointment for us to examine you freezers, monitors and room ventilation layout.
At this time we are limited to service in the North East United States. If your place of business is located in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania please do not hesitate to contact us to set up an estimate or service appointment. HOWEVER, we have affiliates outside of these states so please feel free to contact us for a reliable refferal.
