For multiple decades, Thales is the European leader in cryogenic technology and supplier of cryogenic coolers. Our product catalog is filled with various cooler technologies, such as Rotary Monobloc (RM), Linear Flexure bearing split Stirling (LSF), Linear Pulse-tube (LPT) cryocoolers, for cooling small sensors and/or circuits to cryogenic temperatures and ranging up to 10 Watt cooling power.

We have two Thales facilities where cryogenic cooling technology is developed and manufactured. These two facilities are located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands and in Blagnac, France. The company uses state-of-the-art design software and can call on extensive production, measurement and test facilities. Striving for the highest reliability on every level, our cryogenics teams holds multiple ISO certifications (9001, 14001).

At Thales, we produce single-stage cryocoolers based on Stirling or Pulse-tube technology suitable for lifting up to 10 W of heat, and suitable for cooling down small items as low as below 50 Kelvins. Between the two sites, we have complementary technologies and all knowledge in-house to provide best-in-class cryogenic cooling technologies to our customers, as well as all associated equipment and services.

Thales conducts research to develop high-tech coolers for demanding markets, whether it’s for military, airborne, space or industrial applications. Our drive for innovation has made us the leader in breakthrough technology and our global presence is focused on customer service and satisfactory. More than forty years of experience has paid off in a fully developed product program in which future requirements are always included.
