    Fives Cryo is participating in designing the cryogenic heat exchanger systems for ITER, the largest concentrated cryogenic system in the world operating at very low temperatures. They are providing key components like helium and nitrogen cold boxes. Designing for ITER presents challenges like flexibility over a wide range of operating modes and tight temperature control of helium. Fives Cryo is addressing this with innovations in compact exchanger design, flow distribution expertise, and simulation software. Their experience in major nuclear projects provides reliability and trust in their solutions.
