  1. Cryogenic system for the MYRRHA linac Nicolas Chevalier Tomas Junquera 20.10.2012

  2. Part 1 • Heatload budget and operating temperature

  3. Staticheatload • For MYRRHA, short cryomodules : • 5 W/m at 2K • 40 W/m at 40 K

  4. Cavitydynamicheatloadat 2K * Values from prototype cavities : Podlech et al., Bosotti et al. , Visentin et al., Olry et al.

  5. Coupler heatloads

  6. Coefficient of performance of cryoplant Close to XFEL or one LHC unit For MYRRHA, cryo power at 2K : ~14.2 kW Realistic goal : COP(2K) = 720 ; COP(4K)= 220 COP(2K)/COP(4K) = 3.3

  7. Overcapacity. Total heatload budget LHC « recipe » isapplied for safety factor : Overcapacity factor : 1.5  speed cool-down, use machine < 100 % performance Uncertainty factor : 1.25  imperfect Nb, electronloading, imperfect MLI wrapping etc. Overallmargin : 1.875 Overall power similar to : LHC (18 kW), JLAB (11 kW), XFEL (12 kW), 2 x SNS (2 x 6.4 kW)

  8. Heat load breakdown • Heatload distribution alonglinac: CH SPOKE LOW β ELL. HIGH β ELL. 150 W ~5.2 % 735 W ~27 % 635 W ~22 % 1360 W ~46% • heatloadisroughly25 % | 20 % | 50 % across the threesections • staticlosses~ ½ dynamicslosses smallcryomodule, lowfield • Dynamic range at 2K: Loadbeam on/beam off = (dynamic + static)/static Dynamic range = 2.8 LHC : 3 Important parameter for choice of refrigerationscheme (full cold compression or mixed compression)

  9. Temperatureoptimization of the MYRRHA linac COP decreaseswith T, RBCS increaseswith T  optimum of power consumption Optimal temperature: Broad minimum around 1.9-2 K

  10. Possible 4K operation of Spokecavities • 2K operation of Spokecavitiesis the reference design for now • 4K operationshouldbetested on prototype Spokecryomodule • In the design phase, pipes shouldbesized to allow 4K and 2K operation

  11. Part 2 Cryofluid distribution : valve box, transfer line and cool down characteristics

  12. Distributed or central subcoolingheatexchanger • Distributed : • 2K subcoolingisachieved in each valve box via heatexchanger • Low pressure vaporisreturnedat 5K • Central : • 2K subcoolingisachieved in a single central heatexchanger; • Subcooledsupercriticalheliumisdistributed in a separatetransfer line • Low pressure vaporisreturnedat 2K

  13. Subcoolingheatexchanger (SHX) specifications • LHC SHX canbeused if 1 SHX isused for 1 cryomodule • If 1 SHX feeds more than 1 cryomodule, SHX has to bemodified (up to 10 g/sec)

  19. Advantages of 1VB-1CM and 1VB-2CM solutions Reference solution willbe 1 VB – 1 CM as itseems more straightforward. But 1 VB – 2CM couldbe more economical in terms of cost and space (e.g. ceiling)

  20. Operational modes, helium mass flows Wholelinac Per cryomodule

  21. Transfer line • Transfer line isassumed to split • in two parts at middle of linac • Shieldingisprovided by thermalization • with 80 K return (LHC design)

  22. Cold Mass Estimate Transfer line CM + VB

  23. Cool down time Wholelinacat once (will not happen) Transfer line Cryomodule

  26. Placement of cryogenic plant and dimensions Heatload center of mass is close to geometrical center Hypothesis : - Building surface linearlyscaleswith power. - Scalingfrom LHC dimensions  In agreement with XFEL (12 kW) dimensions.

  28. Liquefier building 4.5 K cold box of the LHC • In MYRRHA (unlike LHC), • 4.5 K and 1.8 K cold box • canbefused in one cold box: • better COP, goal : 720 W/W @ 2K • how to handle large 5.4 kW @ 2K load ? 2.4 kW@ 1.8K cold box of the LHC :

  29. Storage, heliuminventory LHC 20 bar gasstorageat point 1.8 MYRRHA need corresponds to one 250 m3 20 bar bottle

  30. Claudet, “Lhc cryogenics, the approach towards availability,” 2011 • Commeaux, “Reliability of cryogenic facilities: a preliminary approach,” 2002 Reliability • High levels of availability of cryogenic systems (99 %) can be achieved if: • Mean Time Between Maintenance > 8000 hrs • Impurities : dryers to remove water , 80K adsorbers (air), 20 K absorbers (hydrogen), helium guard (2 joints) on 2K circuit • Elements containing moving/vibrating parts : turbines, compressors, etc. • At least two identical machines per stage • Double all oil filters and oil pumps • Periodic maintenance, oil checks, vibration surveillance program • Utilities : common cause of cryogenic system malfunction • Periodic insulation vacuum control (thermal cycling  leaks) • Easily exchangeable cold compressors

  31. Preliminarycostestimate of cryogenic system EUROTRANS report estimate for 8.5 kW @ 4.2 K plant : 24.5 M€ withoutmanpower So : Material 21-25 M€ + Manpower 7-8 M€ = Total 28-33 M€

  32. Conclusions and perspectives • Location of compressor station : too close to linac ? Max achievabledampening of vibrations ? • Linac-refrigeratorconnection: over linac or under the linac ? • Valve box distribution scheme: 1 VB-1 CM or 1VB -2CM ? • Transfer line design, otherpossibilities (SNS, 2 concentrictransfer line ?) • Location of transfer line « T »junction: in cold box or in tunnel ? • How can the refrigeratorbe made more reliable ?  rotating parts • How to integrate the 2K and 4K cold box ? Can the 720 W/W beachieved ? • How to handle the 5.4 kW 2K loadof MYRHHA (twicethat of the LHC) ? • Upgraded cold compressors ? Cold compressors in parallel ? • Detailedcostanalysis THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. QUESTIONS ?
