  1. Measurements of Barrel and EC HEX R. Bates, M. Olcese, B. Gorski, QM for prototype builds R.Bates, QM

  2. Contents • Details of the evaporative cooling system • Measurements made: • Barrel HEX • EC HEX • CERN Prototype • QM-1 HEX • Pressure drops over pipe work R.Bates, QM

  3. The evaporative system in 175 • General design of system close to final design

  4. Details of off-detector section R.Bates, QM

  5. Detail of circuit tested • Volume and Danfoss meters for massflow measurements • Heat liquid after Danfoss to reach 35°C before HEX inlet • Manual heater control • PLC controlled proto-heater • ELMBs with PVSS monitoring plus some manometer duplication • Keller high pressure transducer before capillary R.Bates, QM

  6. Enthalpy Diagram Psat=exp(T) Sub-cooling Pumping Condensation Expansion in the capillary Compression Boiling in the cooling circuit Subcooling increases efficiency, i.e. less flow required Final Heater R.Bates, QM

  7. Why sub-cooling Cooling power = massflow x Enthalpy • Max Enthalpy at -25 °C = 102 J/g • No sub-cooling, liquid temp = 35°C • Power = massflow x 36 J/g : Endcap  9.6g/s, Barrel  14g/s • No sub-cooling, liquid temp = 20 °C • Power = massflow x 53.7 J/g : Endcap  6.5g/s , Barrel  9.5g/s • Sub-cooling to -10 °C • Power = massflow x 86.1 J/g • Massflow reduction up to 2.4 times! • Slightly lower as require Xu = 0.9 to cool inlet liquid in HEX • Endcap (35°C) = 5.7g/s, Barrel  7.8g/s • Reduce the change in massflow as a function of TlbHEX • No sub-cooling  50% increase in massflow • Sub-cooling  <10% increase (small change in TlbCAP) R.Bates, QM

  8. Pressure specifications 1bar pressure regulation Driven by -25 °C design T of on detector loop Max system pressure Driven by 40 °C max inlet T specification 350mbarpressure drop budget of on vapour side R.Bates, QM

  9. HEX & massflow • HEX efficiency (and Massflow) must be sufficient to cool system with full power • Must cope with • TlbHEX = 20°C to 35°C • Sudden power changes in detector structures • Limited increase in Massflow as a function of • TlbHEX • Detector power • Vapour pressure drops to be as small as possible (50mbar) R.Bates, QM

  10. Heat Exchangers • Design is different for the three sub-detectors due to different layout and geometrical constraints • All countercurrent type • Pixel: parallel type external. Al inlet and return tubes glued together over 1.5m. Simple design, possible with small power load • EC SCT: inlet tube is coiled in spiral inside the return tube over less than 0.4m. • Barrel SCT: parallel type internal. Two inlet tubes are routed inside the return tube over a length of 1.5m and parallel to the return tube axis R.Bates, QM

  11. SCT EC heat exchangers • Several prototypes made • Final design qualified • Pressure drop budget is met • QMUL is making a final prototype with final tubes R.Bates, QM

  12. Endcap HEX - designs • 1st failed due to boiling inside capillary • HEX1 – HEX3 failed due to low efficiency R.Bates, QM

  13. Results with CERN HEX4 • Minimum massflow to remove nominal detector power of 346.5W found for HEX = 5.7g/s • Inlet liquid temperature of 35°C maintained through out • Massflow measured by volume meter • Massflow measurement checked with energy balance • Know inlet liquid and outlet vapour pressure/temperature • Know power into the system • Can calculate massflow R.Bates, QM

  14. Baseline massflow = 5.7g/s for TlbHEX = 35°C, 100% power Minimum massflow

  15. Results summary– CERN HEX4 Massflow Increase = 0.7% R.Bates, QM

  16. Stability checks • Tests were performed to confirm that the system is stable • Ran for more than 2 hours without interference • Rapidly (less than 1 minute) increase detector power from 0 to 100% • Repeated measurements to confirm observations R.Bates, QM

  17. 0 to 100% power min massflow R.Bates, QM

  18. +45deg V L -45deg V L Different HEX orientations • All with TlbHEX = 35°C, 100% power V • min massflow (g/s) 5.5 5.7 5.4 • PlbCAP (bara) 14.2 14.25 • TlaHEX (°C) -15 -13 -6.5 • Efficiency (%) .83 .80 .69 • Xi 0.13 0.17 0.22 • Xu 0.74 0.76 0.83

  19. Only 2 capillaries open • Tested as some disks only have two circuits • Only 2 EC HEXs has 2 capillaries (disk 1) • Tested in +45deg as worse case • Efficiency of HEX reduced • Does not work for nominal massflow - now 3.98g/s • Minimum stable massflow = 4.4g/s • Same flow if use 2 x large capillaries • Could use 1large and 1small cap & increase pressure to test • TlaHEX = -20C, HEX eff = 0.92 • DP HEX V = 35mbar, DP on cylinder = 46mbar • Change in massflow 100%(T=35°C) to 0%(T=20°C) • 0.7% increase R.Bates, QM

  20. QM-1 Inlet liquid pipe length reduced by 8% to 2764mm Stable at 98% power and massflow of 5.84g/s (2.5% above baseline 5.7g/s) Max massflow 8% above baseline massflow: (+45deg, 0%(T=20) = 6.06g/s) R.Bates, QM

  21. Contra-flow Two liquid inlet pipes Length  1.5m HEX out of page 45 z Vapour in x Barrel HEX -45deg geometry R.Bates, QM

  22. Results • Nominal massflow of 7.8g/s shown to remove nominal detector power of 504 W • Inlet liquid temperature of 35°C maintained through out • Stability checks performed • System measured for both ± 45deg • Tested with cooling loop & barrel 6 manifold • HEX vapour ΔP too high – but manageable R.Bates, QM

  23. Results R.Bates, QM

  24. Changes in massflow for changes in TlbHEX and power +45deg * Funny seen in the system. The operating conditions for a power cycle 100% to 0% power (TlbHEX = 35°C) resulted in a lower efficiency for the HEX and therefore lower massflows when compared to starting the system up. From start up the massflow for TlbHEX=35°C was 8.8 g/s. Not observed for -45deg geometry. R.Bates, QM

  25. Efficiency increases with lower TlbHEX Xi Xu 20C 0.15 0.78 35C 0.38 0.99 R.Bates, QM

  26. Highest efficiency up to 75% power – 378W TlbHEX=35C 75% power Massflow = 8.6g/s R.Bates, QM

  27. Stability 0 – 100% power TlbHEX = 35C TvaHEX = 14C TlaHEX = 9.5C TvbHEX = -25C R.Bates, QM

  28. 2hour run R.Bates, QM

  30. Barrel HEX with cooling loop R.Bates, QM

  31. Barrel HEX with cooling loop R.Bates, QM

  32. Barrel HEX/Cooling loop test • Tested HEX with real cooling loop • HEX performance the same with cooling loop as with dummy load • Cools first and final module • Pressure drop over cooling loop considerable – results in evaporation temperature changes • ΔP less for lower detector power and lower inlet liquid temperature R.Bates, QM

  33. Cooling loop Press & Temps R.Bates, QM

  34. P in loop & manifold 100% power Pman = 280mbar Ploop = 540mbar Ptotal = 820mbar R.Bates, QM

  35. Smooth increase in P as function of outlet vapour quality R.Bates, QM

  36. P for TlbHEX = 20ºC • For m=7.8g/s • Vapour quality reduced • Pressure drop reduced • Still very high • Tevap reduced • T < 3ºC • NOTE • If reduce massflow then VQ increase, P and Tevap rise R.Bates, QM

  37. Summary of HEX performances Need more liquid at the outlet (higher efficiency) for stability 50% more capacity Min flow cooling 100% of power with stable load transients 0%-100%-0% R.Bates, QM

  38. Pressure drop measurements • Pressure drops measured for: • Inlet pipe work ID = 4 mm, Length = 10.8 m • Outlet pipe work ID = 8 mm, Length = 6 m • Final design of Endcap On-cylinder pipe work • Prototype EC and Barrel Heaters • HEX of each design: Liquid inlet & Vapour return • Barrel cooling loop • Barrel HEX to manifold pipe work • Final pipe work sizes predicted for • heater exhaust to PPF1/PPF2 • PPF2 to PPF3 (PR on racks) R.Bates, QM
