Liquid Helium:

Helium has the lowest melting and boiling points of any element which makes liquid helium an ideal coolant for many extremely low-temperature applications such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or Biomagnetic Liver Susceptometer (BLS) as the medical uses, SQUID magnetic field, superconducting magnets and cryogenic research where temperatures close to absolute zero are needed.

Gas Helium:

• Helium-oxygen atmospheres are used in high-pressure breathing work such as deep diving suits or submersibles because helium is inert, less soluble in blood than nitrogen, and diffuses 2.5 times faster than nitrogen. This reduces the time required for degassing on decompression, eliminates the danger of nitrogen narcosis, and is less likely to collect as bubbles in joints.
• Helium is often used as a lifting gas in lighter-than-air vessels which in turn are used for advertising, atmospheric research, military reconnaissance and as a novelty. In addition, helium has 92.64% of the lifting power of hydrogen but is not flammable and is therefore considered safer.
• Helium is also used as an inert carrier gas, such as in gas chromatography.
• Helium is also used for; pressuring liquid fuel rockets, as an inert gas shield for arc welding, as a protective gas for growing silicon and germanium crystals, as a cooling agent for nuclear reactors, and as a gas for supersonic wind tunnels.

"Worry free. That's how we want our customers to feel about
their cryogen supply, magnet filling and cryo-shielding maintenance."

When you're responsible for MRI equipment, you shouldn't have to worry about your cryogen supply. Or your magnet going down. Or a devastating quench in the middle of the night. You have patients to care for. Scans to run. Critical, time-sensitive work to do. You need a sense of security about your equipment? Security that comes from the support of a trusted supplier who strives to do whatever it takes, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to keep your magnet filled and running. You need Air Products San Fu Keep COLD services.

We'll keep your "cold side" covered.

As the largest Taiwan supplier of helium, Air Products San Fu holds access to more production capacity than any other company. That's important, because today helium is classified as a rare resource. Air Products San Fu offers security of supply. And that's just for starters.
