From the top of my head, the price for a 60 L pressurized N2 container was around 1.5 k€ or less (I might be mixing up things from several years ago, so don’t take it as an official quote). We have good contact with Air Liquide, which are the biggest, if not
the only provider of N2, O2, CO2, Ar in France. They sent someone to see our needs and give advice for free. They also sell some connectors and accessories. I don’t know if they work in Germany, though, but I believe/hope it is possible to find the same kind
of service. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hi Tobias,<br>
There is bunch of different systems of such valves, they a bit differ in<br>
sizes. The best way is to go to vacuum dewar company or local researchers<br>
working in cryogenics or vacuum. The process of regeneration is not obvious<br>
and take some time. I Poland in some of the Polish Academy of Science<br>
institution I paid around 300-400euros for whole procedure for 80l tank,<br>
including first filling and usage test.<br>
Best wishes<br>
Andrzej<br>
