Synopsis:

Cryogenic technology represents its inseparable place in current universe. They are applicated in whole variety of branches, from industrial applications, science, transportation, space, to biological applications and preservation of food and animal species. It is therefore expedient to get closer to this field and became avare even with not so much faintly

familiar risks related to storage cryogenic liquids. In the lecture we will focus on thermodynamic cycles used in physics of low temperature, applications of cryogenic technology, measurement of low tempetarures, basics of superconductivity, behaviour of cryogenic liquid in zero gravity, cryobiology, and other.
