Today we received the central component of our liquid recovery and storage system for the Demonstrator, the Ball of Xenon (BoX), a pressure vessel that will hold our entire xenon inventory at room temperature.
It was manufactured by KASAG Swiss AG in Langnau i.E. based on our conceptual design and will increase our recuperation speed and hence, the future R&D work significantly. A vacuum-insulated liquid line connects the bottom of the Demonstrator cryostat to BoX via which the xenon can be drained in liquid form. BoX will be implemented into the Demonstrator system in the next weeks and then complement the gas recuperation system that is already in place, both projects of our PhD student Kevin Thieme.
