The brief

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) requirement is for a refrigerator to house one of our Cryogenic Current Comparators (CCC).

Currently the system is mounted in a dewar of helium to provide the necessary temperature, but this requires refilling periodically and we wish to move to a closed setup which does not need additional cryogens for sustained periods of operation.

The asset must therefore: 1) Allow the existing CCC components to be mounting in the cold space of the fridge.

2) Hold a steady temperature of 4 K or less for a sustained period.

3) Not require any additional liquid cryogens for cool-down or whilst running.

Note: Due to the Prior Indicative Notice (PIN) Reference 2024/S 000-019150 Published on 21/06/2024 the Authority is reducing the tendering timescales to 21 days.
