This modern helium liquefaction system in the Department of Physics at the University of Florida will be capable of meeting the full needs of all the research groups in the Physics Department including the Microkelvin Research Laboratory, and also the needs of groups in Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, Radiology, Astronomy, and Geology on the campus of the University of Florida. The system will produce 75 liters per hour that will satisfy current and estimated needs of a planned expansion up to the year 2010. This will also include uninterruptible power services and chilled water systems that will operate the liquefaction facility as well as clean uninterruptible power and cooling for the operation of research equipment in the experimental laboratories in the Department. This upgrade will enable research programs dependent on liquid helium to realize their full potential, and will result in a significant increase in the training of graduate and undergraduate students in the physical sciences.

佛罗里达大学物理系的这一现代氦液化系统将能够满足包括Microkelvin研究实验室在内的物理系所有研究小组的全部需求，也能够满足化学、材料科学与工程、放射学、天文学、以及佛罗里达大学校园里的地质学。该系统将每小时生产75升，将满足目前和估计的需求，计划扩大到2010年。这还将包括运行液化设施的不间断电力服务和冷冻水系统，以及为该部实验实验室的研究设备运行提供清洁的不间断电力和冷却。这一升级将使依赖于液氦的研究计划能够充分发挥其潜力，并将导致物理科学研究生和本科生的培训显著增加。
