Facilities - Environmental Chamber
The environmental chamber is a 4.5 x 3.5 x 4m room whose temperature
can be set between -20 and +60 degrees Celsius.
When working modules are assembled onto the SCT endcaps, they will be
tested as a complete disk in this chamber. The chamber will be cooled
to -20C and the heat produced by the powered modules removed by an evaporative
cooling system housed in the adjacent semi-clean area. The modules will be
controlled and read out by electronics in the assembly area.
