Josef Dadok National NMR Centre installed a nitrogen liquification unit for its 850 MHz NMR spectrometer

The liquification unit called BSNL (Bruker Smart Nitrogen Liquefier) uses an excess cooling capacity of the cryogenic probe system to liquify and recycle the nitrogen evaporating from the magnet. The nitrogen refill interval is thus extended from 2-3 weeks to more than 6 months.
