VACREE Completes Delivery of Custom-engineered 3kW Cryogenic Transfer Line and 80K Cold Box Systems for CRAFT
VACREE has recently completed the manufacturing and delivery of a 3kW cryogenic transfer line and an 80K cold box system for the Comprehensive Research Facility for Fusion Technology (CRAFT), a major national science and technology infrastructure project.
Serving as critical components of CRAFT’s magnet performance research platform, these systems ensure the extreme ultra-low-temperature operating conditions required for superconducting magnet testing and fusion reactor component development. The vacuum insulated 3kW multi-channel transfer line transports cryogenic fluids such as liquid helium and liquid nitrogen from the cold source to the magnet cryogenic valve box, while the 80K cold box acts as a cryogenic distribution box to precisely regulate cooling capacity for thermal shields.

During manufacturing, VACREE’s team systematically resolved key technical challenges—including solid heat leak minimization and axial thermal contraction displacement—establishing a standardized, end-to-end production process.
VACREE has delivered multiple mission-critical systems for CRAFT, including high-vacuum cryopumps and specialized multi-channel transfer lines. Having contributed as a core engineering partner to over ten large-scale national scientific facilities—work recognized with the First Prize of the Anhui Science and Technology Progress Award—VACREE continues to demonstrate its industry-leading expertise in advanced cryogenic and vacuum engineering.
