[NHCOLL-L:5494] Liquid nitrogen use for new facility

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Hi all

We recently invested in a cryogenic facility at KU which is due for installation toward the end of the year.  We have received conflicting information from the supplier as to liquid nitrogen use for such a facility.  Can anyone else who has a similar cryo facility in operation give me any indication of typical liquid nitrogen use on a monthly basis.  We will be starting out with two 1894-R150 94500 tube dewars.  Are there factors that will increase or decrease liquid nitrogen usage other than opening the dewars during regular use?

Thanks

Andy
