The gas system

The gas system, connected with the hydraulic system, is designed to pump gas into the waterfall target container to reduce background. Normally hydrogen gas is used. The gas system is made of a load and discharge tube circuit to allow the removal of the air by flushing the hydrogen into the target cell (and the water reservoir). Once the system is full, the circuit will be closed by electro-valves.
