The coherent and intensely bright X-rays from synchrotrons have been used to investigate the structure of complex molecules such as proteins and critical engineering components. Modern facilities use liquid helium cooled superconducting RF Cavities to accelerate the electron beams which generate X-ray radiation in Undulator or Wiggler magnets. Monroe Brothers Ltd has provided engineering support for the cryogenic systems at Diamond Light Source in the UK, the ALICE project at Daresbury, the National Synchrotron Light Source II at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the USA and at the Canadian Light Source.
The cryogenic system circulates pressurised helium gas to provide concentrated cooling up to 7 kW at 150 K for process applications. Monroe Brothers Ltd has assisted GRE Ltd with the design and development of the cryogenic system.
GRE Ltd has become a significant
cryogenic design and manufacturing
company supplying equipment for a
variety of applications in research and
industry.
Monroe Brothers Ltd has been providing cryogenic design support to Sigmaphi in France for the design and build of the C400 cyclotron. The cyclotron uses a superconducting magnet cooled by cryocoolers. It will be used for proton therapy for cancer treatment.
113 Botanicals are extracting the active ingredient from cannabis for medicinal uses. Monroe Brothers Ltd has designed the process system which has been manufactured by GRE Ltd.
As our society becomes increasingly dependent on satellites there is a growing need to validate the technology. Monroe Brothers Ltd has designed and managed the manufacture of liquid nitrogen cooling systems used in the test programmes.
