CRYOMODULE TEST STAND • Existing cold box, Dewar and pumping line (red) • New Dewar, valve box and pumping line in common for ESS (2 K) and Ifmif (4.5 K) (blue) page
Dewar Valve Box > 1,2 m CRYOMODULE TEST STAND
CRYOMODULE TEST STAND • Cryogenicequipmentforeseen LHe Transfer line (instead of SHe) LN2 Transfer line (instead of 50 K He) Dewar with LHe PhS Valve box with LN2 PhS and 2 K heatexchanger VLP Return line Electricalheater for VLP line Control valves and instrumentation • Information required Cryomodule geometry Cryomodule interfaces Choice of 2 K heatexchanger position page
COUPLER COOLING PRESSURE • Inlet circuit at 3 bar Inlet valve more simple if circuit canbefedwith 3 bars. • Safetyrules High pressure He alreadypresentinside Cryomodule thermal shields. • Circulation More pressure availableis best for He circulation, but regulation valve has to takeintoaccount max inlet pressure. No more risk of LHe presenceat coupler inlet. page
COUPLER COOLING PRESSURE z • Pressure safetypreliminarycalculation Von Mises stress frommostunfavorablecalculation shows 16 MPa for thin 1 mm external tube, with a yield stress of 200 MPa. 1 order of magnitude mechanicalmargin CEA approves 3 bar for nominal pressure inox 1 mm diam 100 mm Pression 3 bars page
