Dear colleagues,

As part of the design of a new Chemistry building, we are looking into getting
some liquid N2 "on tap", directly into the NMR room.

I am only aware of one NMR lab so far having implemented this (aside from biology
colleagues with small rooms, purpose-built for decanting) so I thought I'd pick
the brains in our community.

1/ Do you have such system installed and what do you use it for (decanting into open
top dewars, filling magnets, etc...)?
                a/ What are your safety features?
                b/ Do you have specific training requirements for all coming into of the NMR facility?
                c/ if you are filling magnets with the system, are the flow rate/pressure reliable?
                d/ have you had any leaks?

2/ If you have considered such a system and have decided NOT to implement it, why did you decide against it?
                a/ price?
                b/reliability?
                c/resistance from Safety Services?
                d/other...

Any experience/comments you shared on this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'll summarize the responses for the benefit of the group/archive.

Kind regards,

Cecile
