The brief

The University of Southampton are tendering for an upgrade of the helium liquefaction system TCF20 into a campus wide distribution system for liquid helium and recollection of warm helium gas.

The targeted solution is to extend the TCF20 liquefier within Building 46 at the University of Southampton Highfield Campus in Southampton to increase its liquid helium capacity (1), adaptation to the gas capture system at Building 27 located also on the main campus for collection of warm gas (2) and install a trailer solution to transport gas and liquid between Building 46 and Building 27 (3).

We are looking for a complete solution for the realisation of this helium system.
