Abstract
Several hundred ultra low temperature systems have been designed and built for a variety of applications. One common application is the refrigeration of low temperature detectors. Although many of the requirements are satisfied by our standard designs, we have often built special refrigerators to suit specific detector requirements. A few of the most interesting of these systems will be discussed.
• dilution refrigerators to cool gravitational wave antennae to 65 mK
• rotating dilution refrigerator for cosmic ray detector experiments
• compact dilution refrigerator to cool large bolometer arrays within the SCUBA telescope
• side access systems for beam line experiments
