The ISO class 6 cleanroom has a total of 7 liquid nitrogen outlet points mainly for use on the various vacuum test chambers and Optical calibration chamber. The liquid nitrogen supply lines are continous Super Insulated Vacuum Lines (SIVL) which minimises liquid nitrogen boil off. The SIVL supply lines are fitted with stay fulls to ensure that only liquid nitrogen is fed from the outlets no matter how many systems are demanding LN2.
