Abstract

The design and test results for a prototype laboratory device capable of condensing and solidifying gases is presented. This equipment is a new approach to the fabrication of NH3 material for polarized target experiments in nuclear physics experiments. The formed solids have a cylindrical geometry with 32 mm diameter and 50 mm height. With Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis we designed and established operational parameters for the condenser. The system designed for initial testing with CO2 is now ready to use for growing good quality crystals of NH3 with a novel shape, featuring cooling channels for polarized target experiments.
