Extra low temperature cooling

Refrigeration solutions for temperatures below -50°C

Extra low temperature cooling is required whenever standard refrigeration systems can no longer achieve the necessary temperature range. Temperatures below -50°C are commonly used in climate test chambers, environmental simulation, blast freezing, pharmaceutical processes, materials testing and scientific research. These applications demand reliable temperature control, high energy efficiency and maximum process safety. 

BITZER provides compressor solutions for ultra-low temperature refrigeration systems, including demanding applications with very low evaporation temperatures and cascade refrigeration systems. Select your application and discover suitable BITZER products for your temperature range and capacity requirements.

What is extra low temperature cooling?

Extra low temperature cooling describes refrigeration processes that generate temperatures below approximately -50°C. These ultra-low temperature conditions are required when products, materials or components must be tested, stored or processed under extreme cold environments. Typical applications include: 

  • Climate test chambers
  • Environmental simulation systems
  • Industrial process cooling
  • Blast freezing 
  • Scientific research

Because operating conditions become increasingly demanding at very low evaporation temperatures, refrigeration systems often use specially designed compressors and cascade refrigeration technology to ensure reliable operation, temperature stability and energy-efficient performance.

Typical applications of extra low temperature cooling

Extra low temperature refrigeration is used wherever temperatures below -50°C are required for testing, production, storage or freezing processes. Typical applications include:

  • Climate test chambers and environmental simulation
  • Thermal shock testing
  • Blast freezing of food products and raw materials
  • Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology
  • Research laboratories and materials testing
  • Industrial process cooling
  • Battery and electronics testing
  • Special applications requiring temperatures below -50°C

Whether for environmental testing, research applications or industrial freezing processes, BITZER compressors provide reliable performance for demanding ultra-low temperature refrigeration systems.
