Heat Removal
The Polycold MaxCool Cryochiller is also used in applications requiring high power cooling to temper-
ature as low as -150°C.
There are a wide variety of heat removal applications, but two notable examples include the cooling of
external heat exchangers that chill a gas or a liquid and the cooling of refrigerant-cooled chucks that
control the temperature of semiconductor wafers and other substrates during a manufacturing process
in vacuum. See
