HallD Drift Chamber Gas system

Both the Central Drift Chambers (CDC) and the Forward Drift Chambers (FDC) use an Argon/CO2 gas mixture for operation with a very small addtion of isopropanol to prevent chamber aging. The gas mixing is done with BROOKS mass flow controllers (MFC)of type 5850S powered and controlled by the BROOKS 0254 controller box.

Pin IN/OUT translation table for MFC and BOX:
