Accudyne’s Critical Point Drying equipment directly measures the actual temperatures and pressures that reactants experience and records all of the data for future analysis.  Once optimal conditions are determined, operators use Wonderware HMI to enter recipes, control the process, and view operating parameters from a single interface allowing for tighter control of operating conditions.

Accudyne’s supercritical drying equipment for NASA enables aerogels that are stronger and more flexible than ever before.  The stringent specifications for materials used in applications such as space suits or thermal shields require tightly controlled processing conditions.  As Accudyne’s equipment directly measures the actual temperatures and pressures that the reactants experience and records all of the data for future analysis, it is now possible to determine the optimal process conditions for creating aerogels with the properties that NASA needs.  Operators then use our sophisticated Wonderware HMI to enter recipes, control the process, and view operating parameters from a single interface allowing for tighter control of operating conditions.  Accudyne aerogel equipment in various configurations is installed in research facilities around the globe.
