This cryogenics process flow diagram shows how argon moves through the system, starting from delivery at the surface, on the left, then once underground, how it is processed through condensers and purifiers, and into the cryostat. Credit: FDC Cryogenics

“A 3D model of the liquid argon purification system designed for the DUNE far detector cryostat. Housed in a utility cavern located between the cryostats, the large tanks represent the liquid argon purification vessels, the smaller tanks serve as particulate filters, and the narrow, vertical blue cylinder functions as a purity monitor.
