CERN - Hadron Collider

The detector is one of the largest international scientific collaborations in history. As of February 2003 there are 2,300 people working for CMS and 1,940 of which are scientists and engineers. These people come from 159 institutes in 36 countries, spanning Europe, Asia, the Americas and Australasia.

Hydrapower Dynamics was asked to work with the scientists and engineers and help solve a problem they had in cooling the electronic equipment which use 80,000 crystals to view what ever comes from these particles colliding, This involved a unique design for manipulated tubes and a way of attaching them, there was a need to maximize the amount of cooling taking place at the base plate.

Other statistics as follows:
