  • Method for the production of superfluid helium under pressure at very low temperature and an apparatus for carrying out said method
    Patent number: 3992893
    Abstract: A bath of helium-4 is cooled to a temperature below the .lambda. point so as to convert the lower portion of the bath to a superfluid-helium zone. A narrow stream between a top and a bottom portion of the zone is subjected to a critical heat flux corresponding to a temperature gradient by cooling the bath in the bottom portion of the superfluid-helium zone, the temperatures thus attainable being considerably lower than the .lambda. transition point.
