3.1 Environmental Requirements
It is essential that the climate of the laboratory is controlled to ensure that the CCD detector is not damaged.
Typically air-conditioning should be installed to maintain the temperature and humidity within the ranges listed
below. The Relative Humidity is particularly important as the CCD and its cooling pipes can reach ~17C,
condensation should not be allowed to collect on the CCD at any time.
Xcalibur/Gemini with KMW3000 (i.e. external water cooled) dissipates ~6000 BTU/hr heat, not including
any optional cryogenic devices.
Xcalibur/Gemini with TF3500 (i.e. air cooled) dissipates ~16000 BTU/hr heat, not including any optional
cryogenic devices.
