GAS Systems (Homepage)

Project Leader: S.Haider

The DT group is in charge to design, build and install the following LHC detector gas systems for:

ALICE ATLAS CMS LHCb TOTEM  
TPC TRT Xenon system DT OT T1  
TRD TRT Forward CO2 cooling CSC MWPC T2  
TOF MDT RPC RICH1    
PMD RPC ID N2 purge facility RICH2    
CPV TGC        
Muon Trigger CSC        
Muon Tracker ID purge facility        
CSC LUCID        

These gas systems are made according to uniform and standard layouts having in mind a rationalisation of their long-term maintainability. To achieve this, the gas circuits break up in functional and scalable modules like mixers, purifiers or distribution units. Each module is built and controlled in quite the same manner allowing the use of a single control program and a large standardisation of the gas system hardware.
