SHMS Status Hall C Users Feb. 2014 Paul Brindza
SHMS Outline • HB magnet construction • Q1 magnet construction • Dipole magnet construction • Q2Q3 magnet • JLAB magnet components • Hall C Infrastructure
HB Construction • Coils complete and LHE tested • Helium vessel assembly underway • Helium vessel backbone complete • Coil 1 installed, shimmed and welded in • Coil 2 installed, shimming underway • LN2 shield sub-assemblies underway • Warm Yoke complete • Vacuum vessel components complete • Assembly of helium, vessel around coils has taken longer than expected- current ETA is April 2014 • Delivery to JLAB – August 2014 • Monthly visits by JLAB to MSU to keep up pressure
Status of HB Manufacturing First coil inserted in helium vessel (covered by middle plate) Thermal shield test-fit onto Helium vessel.
HB Helium Vessel Top vessel viewin vertical position Wiring from bottom through conduit to top, 5 mil kapton sheet between coil ends and retainers.
Status of HB Manufacturing Hi-pot test at 1500+ V with back plate clamped Lead out insulated
Status of HB Manufacturing Back plate tack welded Vessel repositioned for bottom coil shimming (bottom coil up)
Q1 Magnet Status • Coils- complete and tested • Yoke- complete • Cold mass assembled and tested • Warm field mapping complete • Cryostat Components(Helium, LN2, Vacuum) complete • Helium vessel assembly around cold mass underway • LN2 shield and Vacuum vessel assembly TBD • Factory testing • Delivery to JLAB – July 2014
Q1 Magnet - Summary • Construction well-advanced. • Schedule risk being carefully monitored. • 60% of sub-contract is complete. • Good performance for the last 8 months. • Using incentives to advance delivery date. • No known technical risks: • Typical manufacturing tasks and workmanship remain. • QA and vendor oversight processes in place.
Dipole Q2Q3 Highlights Oct 2013- Feb2014 • Site visits @ SigmaPhi Oct ,Nov ,Dec, Jan, Feb….. near continuous presence by JLAB engineers • Q2Q3 FDR complete with punch list Oct 2013 • Production Consolidation Equipment Operational • Dipole Prototype VPI completed Dec 13 • Second winding station complete • Second source of coil spacers delivering ~ 1 layer per week( see the video) • Conductor properties 300K and 4 K results including shear measurements exceed requirements
Dipole Construction Underway • First dipole production coil winding started Feb 17 • First segment (25 turns) and spacer installed today • Second dipole production coil wind start March 12 • Dipole cryostat at Chastigny and ASME overlay at APAVE proceeding well • 4 K measurements of conductor compression modulus excellent results 148MPA @ 4 K • 300 K improved measurements with extensometer demonstrate that the initial “soft strain” was a measurement artifact. This makes the coil preload much easier and reduces the interference required. • Shear measurements in reasonable agreement with JLAB/Hall B/Torus
Prototype Coil Results • Winding • Techs, equipment and winding went well • late delivery of spacers caused delays resolved with the second source • Coil Resistance and ringing tests results all OK • Equipment is sensitive to single shorted turn • VPI • Equipment worked OK except for mold leaks which allowed air intrusion causing some voids. Leaks were found and cause (rusty mandrel)eliminated. • Mold release on coil spacers worked as planned • VPI process improvements to preclude a repeat • Confidence high so proceed to production!!!!
Objective N°1: Improvethe impregnationquality • Modifications implemented: • Replace G10 sheet 0.2 mm by fiber glass cloth for easierresin flow • Increase the numberof holes in the G10 sheet(0.3 mm thickness) • Sand blast moldfor bettervacuum seal • Tilt the mould (20-30°) to favor the resin flow in between the conductors • Install the resinmixer above the moldto trap the air bubblesinside the feedpipes • Keep more pressure above the resininside the malaxer to slow down the impregnation • Sequential injection • Increase the curing duration to about 30h (cold point at 120°C hot point at 135°C) • Objective N°2: Makethe resinless sensitive to cracking • Modifications Implemented: • Improvethe injection geometry: largerdraft (30 degrees tilt) • Addflexibilizertothe resin
Conductor testing • Compressive stress strain results demonstrate that ALL dipole conductors have near identical properties- no need to sort conductor • 300 K results from UBS lab using an extensometer demonstrate that the initial “soft strain” is a measurement artifact arising from surface defects and using platen travel- more good news! • 4 K results demonstrate average compressive yield at 148 MPA as compared to 100 MPA stress levels at 11 Gev - adequate margin at operating current. • Shear results to date indicate adequate margin. More measurements planned. Good agreement with JLAB measurements.
Summary- SigmaPhi Magnets • Production coil winding • coil 1 started Feb 17 • coil 2 March 12 • Coil spacer delivery solved by second source delivery now one set per week • First double layer of production coils 1 and 2 will be separately impregnated to verify VPI. • Dipole conductor mechanical property measurements excellent results confirm adequate margins • Dipole delivery June 2015 • Q2Q3 delivery Aug/Oct 2015
