• A) Application section (2*140cm):  Our application tubing came with the CERN shipment is a Saint Gobain Tygon S3 E3603 NSF-51 with 8mm ID/11.5mm OD that fit well onto the cooling block barb (ridge ID/OD=0.306"/0.363"=7.8/9.2mm). To avoid adapting metric-Imperial tubing, we also tried a 1/4" soft tubing and that seemed to just about being able to get on the cooling block barb with very tight fit. Since we may never dissemble the cooling block after initial assembly, we opted to go with the 1/4" ID and 3/8" OD tubing so that the two ends can fit onto the Swagelok Instrumentation quick connect QC6-316 (SS-QC6-D-600 / SS-QC6-B-600) with 3/8" fitting. Aiming for the same soft PVC Tygon chemical tubing as the original CERN part with ID/OD=1/4"/3/8" corresponds to McMaster-Carr #5155T26.
• B) Application joint to chiller Process In (30+15cm):  Application joint is QC6-316 (SS-QC6-D-600 / SS-QC6-B-600 ) as for A) with 3/8" OD tube (McMaster-Carr #5155T26) for ~30cm then transition (with McMaster-Carr #91355K32) to a short (~15cm) 3/8" ID tube (McMaster-Carr #5155T34) to fit onto the 3/8" hose barb from the HFC 12 series  (rating only down to 0C ?) which can connect with the 3/8" CPC at chiller Process In. 
• C) Application joint to filter (or Process Out) (30+15cm):  similar piece like B), such that the hose barb end can plug directly into the chiller Process Out, or filter out. 
• D) Filter: Not yet identified the exact part for the filter in the ThermoCube manual. Only the mounting bracket at McMaster is found. Also needs caution whether filter is compatible with <0C coolant. The filter output end should be fitted with the 3/8" NPT shutoff as those on the chiller unit. Filter inlet (fitting unknown) needs to transition to 1/2" tuber over the 3/8"  hose barb to connect to the chiller Process Out.
• E) Jacket insulation: At least all thinner tubing section should have foam jacket insulation to allow running coolant <~0C.

The ThermoCube tank is 300 ml but there may be some additional piping volume within chiller besides the 300ml. The tubing outside the chiller (not including filter) is <~200ml. So it may sufficiently safe if we get two 700ml bottles of the recommended Koolance 702. This unit description doesn’t say what type of cold plate it has. Stainless would have carried a tag ’S” in the model number somewhere so this may be old style anodized AL PCW plate ? Koolance claims to be friendly with both Al and SS.

Vacuum Pump 

The vacuum chuck has 3mm diameter hole for the vacuum line tube (OD/ID=3mm/1.8mm). The vacuum pump at B84 EPP lab is a GAST DOA-P704-AA with max pressure of 4 bar (60 psi). The left port (looking from front) has a 3/8" barb that we intend to connect a braided firm polyurethane rubber tube (McMaster-Carr #51165K12) with ID:OD=3/8":5/8" which runs ~1.5m from below the table to the top of table. This pump vacuum tube then transitions to the short (~30cm) 3mm OD vacuum chuck tube with a pair of Aluminum low-pressure (up to 125 psi) 1/4 NPT adaptor to barbed tube fitting: 3/8" barb - male NPT (with O-ring) on pump side (McMaster-Carr #5058K451); 1/16" barb and female NPT on module side (McMaster-Carr #5058K641). The 1/16" (1.59mm) barb is a approx match to the vacuum chuck tube with ~1.8mm ID (adequate tightness to be verified).
