A helium liquefier has been developed with a Gifford-McMahon cryocooler using the cold enthalpy available at the first stage, the inter-stage, and the second stage of the cryocooler. Most of the enthalpy of the helium gas at 300 K is absorbed in the first stage by a coaxial heat exchanger and inter-stage region of the cryocooler. Pre-cooled helium gas is liquefied at the second stage heat exchanger where the final cooldown and condensation happens. The measured production capacity of the liquefier is 17.4 l/day at atmospheric pressure. The whole setup has been designed to work in a coaxial configuration where the two heat exchangers, the cryostat, and the dewar are symmetrically placed around the central axis.

By unravelling the complexities and dynamics of a collaboration between scientists in India and West Germany to establish a cryogenic network, this paper intends to contribute to our understanding of the transnational movement of research technologies during the Cold War. In 1971, a cryogenic laboratory including a helium and a nitrogen liquefier was set up at the physics department of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras as part of the Indo-German partnership at IIT Madras between 1959 and 1974. As a generic research technology with many applications, cryogenics became crucial for a solid state research agenda for semiconductor development.

The year 1906 was a year of many remarkable achievements in the laboratory of Kamerlingh Onnes and his staff. They put into operation a hydrogen liquefier producing 4 l h(-1), followed by a liquid-hydrogen cryostat for work below 21 K. They prepared their first sample of 2 l of helium gas.

On the 10 July 1908 Heike Kamerlingh Onnes succeeded in the first liquefaction of helium. A very long preparation was necessary before Onnes succeeded. The underlying technological framework from his predecessors was mainly formed by the ingenious discoveries of Dewar.
