CR-3 CRYOGENIC HYGROMETER

 

The new CR-3, like the CR-2, utilizes a closed cycle cryocooler, but differs in that it cannot be used on aircraft. The CR-3 is specifically designed for long-term, continuous-use applications where the instrument will mounted in a fixed location such as a laboratory. 

Cryocooler lifetime is greatly extended for the CR-3. Typically, MTBF is over 100,000 hours for the cooler.

Options include a special sample chamber and mirror assembly for toxic and corrosive gases. Like all our instruments, the CR-3 is helium-leak checked. In addition to voltage, current and alarm outputs, the CR-3 has an RS-232 port.
