  1. ILC : Type IV Cryomodule Design MeetingMain cryogenic issues, L. Tavian, AT-ACRCryostat issues, V.Parma, AT-CRI CERN, 16-17 January 2006

  2. Content • Design pressure of cavity cold mass structure • Minimum diameter requirement of distribution lines • Cool-down and warm-up principle

  3. Design pressure of cavity cold-mass structure

  4. Design pressure of cavity cold-mass structure • The spacing of safety device needed to protect the cavities depends strongly on the design pressure of the cold-mass structure: • “High” design pressure (~ 3.5-4 bar) • Discharge of helium during technical incident (break of beam vacuum with air) can be done via the pumping line (DN300) with safety relief valves located close to access shaft. • “Low” design pressure (< 3.5-4 bar) • Safety relief valves must be periodically installed in the tunnel on the pumping line, i.e. ODH issues in the tunnel or large additional header to collect the valve discharge.

  5. Design pressure of cavity cold-mass structure

  6. Minimum diameter of distribution lines

  7. Cool-down and warm-up principle • Tesla TDR principle

  8. Cool-down and warm-up principle • ILC principle proposal

  9. Cool-down and warm-up principle

  10. Main cryostat design issues • Real-estate gradient: inter-cavity and cryomodule interconnection space optimization [1] • Cryomodule length?[2] • Thermal performance. review of static heat loads: table 1 of bcd:main_linac:ilc_bcd_cryogenic_chapter_v3.doc[3] • Design of thermal shielding feed-throughs and thermalisations (couplers, tuners, etc.): strong impact on cryostat thermal performance.[4] • Cryomodule interconnection design: Length optimization, thermal design, interconnection bellows stability.  [5] • Cryo-string extremity modules (Technical Service module in LHC jargon) housing cryo equipment: 2 out of 15 cryomodules in a cryo-string. [6] • Cryogenics flow (and vacuum pumps) induced vibrations. Performance limiting? bcd:main_linac:ilc_bcd_cryogenic_chapter_v3.doc[7] • Materials and assembly technologies: • Ti helium vessel and weldability to Ni. [8] • Ti-to-st.steel transitions leak-tightness at cryo T (13 units per cryomodule!). [9] • External support system (ground support vs. hanging) and re-alignment strategy  impacton tunnel integration

  11. Inter-cavity space optimisation ~283mm Space optimisation is a must! (1 cm gain  ~100m gain per linac)

  12. Cryo-module length • Impact of cryo-module length: • Increasing length: • < No.of interconnections:  < No.componets (bellows) and installation cost saving • So > real estate gradient:  tunnel length cost saving • < No. critical components (bellows)  higher reliability •  All desirable effects • Practical limits: • Weight increase. (TTF~8 tons?). Longer Cryo-modules will remain “light” objects (below 15 tons). • Road transport: from ~11 m to ~ 15 m cryomodulestill transportable (according to European regulations). LHC cryo-dipoles are ~15 m long. • Handling: no major limitation, but…wider tunnel shafts: cost increase •  Increase length to about 15 m or longer?

  13. Interconnections…often forgotten LHC interconnection • Optimise compactness  > real estate gradient • Specific design of compensation systems: • Mechanical stability of pressurised lines (Al extruded thermal shields for LHC) • Low stiffness/compact optimised bellows (plastic domain for LHC bellows) • Do not forget thermal performance: • Appropriate (active) thermal shielding with MLI • Beware of thermal contraction gaps in thermal shields (radiation multi-reflection paths). • Cryo-module extremities need specific features Experience gained in the past! 

  14. Thermalisations Welded Al thermal shields (50-65 K) • Avoid bolted braid assemblies and st.steel brazing whenever possible • All-welded or shrink-fitted solutions preferable • Proper interface must be foreseen on components for effective thermalsations A few LHC solutions Thermalisation weld of support post / bottom tray (50-65 K) Al welded shrink-fit thermalisation of pumping tubes (SSS) (50-65 K)
