Barber-Nichols (BN) is the world leader in designing and producing centrifugal, hermetic cryogenic gas circulators, compressors and blowers. BN builds circulators that process hydrogen, nitrogen, natural gas, helium, argon, and other gases.
Examples of customized products designed for specific customer applications:
The BNCP-74 blower plays a critical role in the Drill for Acquisition of Complex Organics (DrACO) module on NASA’s Dragonfly lander. It transports surface materials from Saturn’s moon, Titan, into the Dragonfly Mass Spectrometer (DraMS).
The BNCP-21 blower is a high-speed gas circulator used in Space Simulation Chambers. Nitrogen gas is circulated to a shroud inside the chamber and typically alternates between 150 C and -185 C (300 F and -300 F) for months at a time to simulate the temperature changes a satellite endures as it orbits in front of and behind the earth.
The BNCP-23 is a cryogenic gas blower designed for full-emission circulation with high reliability and efficiency across varying operating conditions.
Designed for high-performance cryogenic gas circulation, the BNCP-31 offers efficient operation at variable speeds.
The BNCP-32G-000 is specifically designed for argon gas circulation, offering precision and durability for demanding applications.
The BNCP-66-000 represents the breadth of BN’s capabilities in a single package. Its advanced design with integrated auxiliaries and control enables operation across a wide range of temperatures and conditions.
