A quadrupole residual gas analyzer for fusion research

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.

With tight control of electron energy as standard, and a choice of ion sources available, the DLS-1 quadrupole residual gas analyzer is the ideal component for advanced fusion research applications.

Overview

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, using templates developed for analysis of deuterium in helium and deuterated compounds. This makes it one of the best-in-class solutions for validating fuel purity in fusion research applications.
