Hiden Analytical offers precision quadrupole residual gas analyzers designed for cutting-edge Tokamak fusion research. Our DLS-1 operates in a threshold ionization mass spectrometric (TIMS) mode with real-time quantitation of gas species across a mass range of 1 – 100 atomic mass units (AMU). The unique spectral fingerprints of gases critical to fusion research parameters can subsequently be detected with ease.
Fusion is widely considered the golden-standard alternate energy source. By harnessing the compression of hydrogen (H2) to form helium (He), researchers hope to provide a clean sustainable source of energy for the future. Various facilities around the world are continually attempting to turn the theory into reality, but the world’s foremost fusion research system is the tokamak device. Challenges in fusion research based on the classical torus design include high energy deficits and the difficulty involved in the mass separation of deuterium (D2) and helium (4He).
The Hiden DLS series systems are designed for applications in fusion where analysis of hydrogen isotopes and deuterated compounds are of interest. The DLS-1 mass spectrometer is for real time quantitative analysis of complex gas and vapour mixtures in fusion applications. The DLS-1 operates in a threshold ionization mass spectrometric (TIMS) mode with real- time quantitation of gas species across a mass range of 1 – 100 atomic mass units (AMU) using templates developed for analysis of deuterium in helium and deuterated compounds.
The quadrupole analyser is a precision assembly including a mass filter with machined radial ceramic supports; an electron impact ioniser with twin oxide coated iridium filament and a dual Faraday / Channeltron electron multiplier detector. The analyser mounting flange is a DN-35-CF (2¾”, 70 mm OD) Conflat type flange. Mass range for the DLS-1 is 100 amu. Other mass ranges available on request.
The DLS-1 is directly controlled from a PC compatible computer via RS232, USB or Ethernet TCP/IP link, providing simultaneous data acquisition from multiple systems. The RC interface unit is a 90 mm high (2U), 19 inch rack mounting unit. It is mains powered and includes power on and filament status indicators.
Windows®-MASsoft Professional PC software provides for fast data acquisition through either user configured acquisition files or pre-set modes selected by icon.
