Abstract:  Significant process and engineering advances in cryogenic 
systems
have been realized by JLab’s cryogenic group.  Although these advancements
have benefited the users, they remain largely unknown to them.  These 
advances
have significantly improved the efficiency and flexibility of these 
systems,
for JLab and other labs, to allow the cryogenic support of physics that 
would
otherwise not be possible technically and within fiscal constraints. 
The vision
for this proactive effort was carried internally, based on the 
conviction to be
good stewards to our environment and taxpayer funding, and that cryogenic
engineering is an art with great potential for technical advancement and 
innovation.
Advancements due to the group’s self-directedness have been implemented 
at the
Spallation Neutron Source, Brookhaven National Lab, as well as, internal 
projects
such as the recovery heat exchanger for Hall C’s Q-weak experiment and 
improvements
at the Cryogenic Test Facility (CTF).  The latest of these efforts has 
been focused
on the new Central Helium Liquefier (CHL-2) for the 12 GeV upgrade, the new
refrigerator for Michigan State University’s FRIB project and Johnson 
Space Center’s
new 20 K refrigerator.  The group continues to pursue advancements in 
the areas of
small and medium size 2 K (sub-atmospheric) cost effective and efficient 
helium
refrigeration processes, as well as, refrigeration cold end advances and 
warm
compressor efficiency improvements.
