Central Helium Liquefier - Cold Boxes

Building Exterior First Floor Cold Boxes Walk to the Helium Storage Tanks

Two large Cold Boxes dominate this room inside the Central Helium Liquefier. Heat exchangers, cold compressors and other equipment needed to chill Helium down to a temperature of -456F are insulated from room temperature within these containers. This equipment requires a huge amount of electricity to operate. It costs about a million dollars a year to pay the power bill.
