- Water Cooled
- Partially common to SDD subsystems (heat exchanger, purifier, circulation pump, underpressured water tank)
- Counter-flow on ladders in thin (40 μm) pipes
- Endcaps cooled in series
- Water supplied at 17°C – no heat transfer for the SDD and the TPC
- Possibility to tune the water temperature
