Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mechanical vibration-isolated, liquid helium recondensing cryogenic cooling system. The system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a closed-cycle cryogenic cooling system, a liquid helium recondensation cooling and vibration isolation system, and a temperature feedback control system. The present invention utilizes a closed-cycle cryogenic cooling system and may achieve low temperatures as low as 4.2 K and may consume substantially no helium gas or liquid helium. Using the cooling and vibration isolation system, liquid helium is generated and maintained through recondensation of helium gas. Not only does the technology effectively isolate the low-frequency vibrations produced by the closed-cycle cryogenic cooling system during operation, but it also resolves the issue of large fluctuations in the resulting temperature of the closed-cycle cryogenic cooling system.
