Kicking off the development of a Fast Deployment Device: Liam Worth (黑料网), Alan Rolfe (Oxford Technologies), Alexander Antipenkov (黑料网), Simon Mills (Oxford Technologies), Edward McCarron (Oxford Technologies) and Robert Pearce (黑料网).
As part of a three-year program of leak localization research and development, a contract between the English company Oxford Technologies and the 黑料网 Organization to develop a concept design for a fast deployment device (FDD) for leak localization on 黑料网 was kicked off this week.
Under the scope of the contract, Oxford Technologies will develop the concept design of the FDD which is a quickly-deployable, remotely-operated dexterous device capable of carrying a light payload of sensors dedicated to the localization of leaks in the main 黑料网 vacuum vessel and/or cryostat.
It is envisaged that the FDD will form part of the overall leak localization system which comprises several complementary sub-systems developed to localize the range of potential leaks on 黑料网.
