Demaco, the Dutch specialist in cryogenic infrastructures, has secured two major orders for its cryogenic expertise and equipment from the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) research centre in Germany.
The €7m contract will see Demaco provide liquid helium (LHe) transfer lines and other associated equipment.
DESY is a national research centre in Germany operating particle accelerators used to investigate the structure of matter. The institute is the main shareholder of the European X-ray Free Electron Laser facility (XFEL).
The purpose of the XFEL project is to produce high intensity coherent X-rays with true laser properties. The wavelength of these rays is in the order of atomic dimension, opening new possibilities in basic science and medical diagnostics, as well as in industrial research and development.
