USC Liquid Helium Recovery System

We considered an LHeRS back in 2010

Not considered cost effective at that time

We then added to EPR with cryoprobes in 2012

Now it was considered practical

Considered several systems with a capacity of about 20L LHe/day capacity

Quantum Technologies had such a system at the best price of $213,000

Installation, Cu piping and labor: >$100,000
