Gas CompartmentΒΆ
The gas compartment hosts the gas supply subsystem for the environment chamber and the vibration isolation. It is accessible through one of the side doors of NanoFrazor Explore.
The gas supply for the environmental chamber comprises two parallel gas lines, each equipped with a flux regulator and a two-way solenoid valve. The solenoid valves can be independently controlled by the software. The first gas line provides a high gas flux in order to quickly build up the desired atmosphere in the environmental chamber. The second gas line carries a low flux for maintaining pressure. The two gas lines are connected to the same gas input and have a common outlet. The gas is provided either by an external source or by a gas container, which can be mounted and secured in the gas compartment.
The gas supply for vibration isolation provides compressed gas to the vibration isolation system. Its pressure is regulated by a manual pressure regulator.
