Integrated detector ICS™

The ICS integrated electro-mechanical cooling system for HPGe radiation detectors from ORTEC exploits the latest generation in cryogenic technology to provide LN2-free operation with no loss of detector performance. Using a Sunpower industry proven Stirling cooler, ICS is more efficient and reliable than pulse tube designs. Increased efficiency means improved cooling with proportionally less heat generation and lower power consumption. With a cooler Mean-Time-To-Failure (MTTF) of over 200,000 hours. ICS is available in two versions to support a wide selection of radiation detector models. ICS and ICS-E models incorporate a unique, hardened cryostat, for superior integrity, reliability, and operational performance. This feature allows instant recovery after a loss of power, eliminating the need to fully thermal cycle the detector in the event of a partial warm-up. ICS-P4 (PopTop® model), uses a conventional cryostat, which provides full compatibility with ORTEC PopTop radiation detector capsules, and can be used with either new radiation detectors or in-field upgrades.
