Assembly of all heat shields before evacuation can be done in less than 10 minutes. A closed pre-cooling cycle is employed to cool the dilution unit, so that no exchange gas is needed. Sealing of the single vacuum is done with normal O-rings. The system is fully automated and remote operation is a standard feature. Cool down to base temperature can be achieved within 24h at the touch of a button.
