Is the Wilden AODD pump working well with cold transfer? I know @xtraxpros is working with Yamada pumps to re-rate their pumps to -50C due to the success they are having. They are testing new diaphragms to go to even lower temps.

We use the Wilden AODD pumps with special low temperature elastomers, and they work well at -60C.

So your saying it uses .6 gal to chill from room temp to -60? New to nitrogen

Looks like a reverse capna ethos. Just not enclosed and no built-in chiller.
