Evaporative Cooling SystemEvaporative Cooling System• Evaporative fluorocarbon (C3F8) system cools the Pixel and SCT volume inside thermal enclosure
•System has to remove about 60kW of heat from detector
•Like a normal refrigerator

Pixels: 88
Barrel: 44
EndCap: 36 x 2
Total = 204 Heaters
Need a system to:
• monitor the temperature, current and interlock status of each heater.
• provide alerts when approaching abnormal or unacceptable values
• control to rectify problems (provided by a different system)
