HARPS ... North • Thermal enclosure HARPS-N PDR Harvard CfA, 06/07-12-2007
3-level concept Spectrograph room: +- 0.2 K 15°C 17°C Isolation Box: +- 0.01 K T-sensor Spectrograph: +- 0.001 K
Spectrograph room • Model : YORK YEB 3S • Serial Nr. : 135.157.DN003
Temperature control • Lakeshore 331S T-controller + diode sensors + heaters • 60 mm polyurethane panels with 1 mm Al skin • Floor isolated by 100-mm foam ‘carpet’ • Thermal load on external room: about 10 W/K
Lessons learned • Concept works well and is simple • Changing thermal load through feet produces gradient and seasonal effects • Thermal isolation of feet • Heater below feet, Tref = vacuum vessel e.g. using Lakeshore controller
