Mass Spectrometers with unique dual zone operation for fusion fuel analysis, vacuum diagnostics and leak detection in harsh operating environments.

The Hiden DLS-2 and DLS-2X quadrupole mass spectrometer systems are designed for fusion applications where analysing hydrogen isotopes and deuterated compounds is important. The DLS-2X also includes special features that allow reliable operation in harsh environments.

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. A unique, user-switchable mode lets the DLS-2 and DLS-2X operate in both the first and second quadrupole stability regions (Zone 1 and Zone H), selectable in software with automatic switching. This enables ultra-high resolution in the Zone H mass range (e.g., detecting helium in deuterium) while maintaining high-performance residual gas analyser (RGA) capability in the Zone 1 mass range for vacuum diagnostics.

DLS-2X features remote analyser mounting up to 140 m from sensitive electronics for fusion and harsh operating environments.
