Cryogentic Refrigeration (Freezing) : Andrew Willenborg

Cryogenics involves producing very low freezing temperatures below 123 K. Liquid nitrogen and helium are commonly used cryogenic substances that can strengthen materials and preserve organic materials. NASA is interested in cryogenic applications for space such as liquid hydrogen propulsion systems with zero boil-off. Cryocoolers can be used as refrigerators or heat pumps. Cryogenic devices include pumps and compressors. Cryonics aims to freeze humans after death with the goal of future resuscitation.
