Hi-Lumi WP3 meeting Update on the Q1 to D1 cryostat Jan 28, 2014 • Outline • Cryostat cross section options • Elliptical interconnect sleeve feasibility • Piping layout and longitudinal integration • Summary Delio.Ramos@cern.ch
Pipe specifications (from Oct 2013) Can the pumping line be smaller now?
Maximum transport width in the tunnel is 1250 mm, simulation needed (C. Bertone) • Simplest cryostat shape • Short support post → higher heat load • Piping integration ok! Increased diameter & centered cold mass
Elliptical cryostat • Simplified piping integration • Standard transport width • Standard support post • Interconnect sleeve is the main challenge (in contact with industry) • Cold mass can be centered
Integration in the tunnel: large cylindrical vs elliptical • On integration CAD models both cylindrical and elliptical versions seam ok (C. Collazos) . Elliptical has the advantage of easier access for personnel on the sides.
Komplaflex feasibility study and cost estimation • 2 mm thick shell • Flexibility +/-5 mm axial and transverse • Buckling safety factor 4.9 • Cost (Offer from Kompaflex) • 16 kCHF tooling (one-off) • 6.7 kCHF/unit (on a basis of 25 unit order) • For comparison, cost of standard interconnect sleeves • 2.1 kGBP/unit (price 2000-2001, LHC series)
Pipe routing - Some layout variants... Q1 Q2a Q2 b Q3 CP D1 Q1 Q2a Q2 b Q3 CP D1 Q1 Q2a Q2 b Q3 CP D1
A first guess for the 3 jumpers variant Split beamscreen loop in two?
Interconnect length with LHC QQS 1125 Current HL-LHC layout interconnect length: 810 mm
Using the LHC quad QQS as reference ~630 ~430 LHC QQS length determined by the phase separator. Eventual gain with smaller phase separator ~200 mm, i.e. IC length becomes 925 mm.
Summary • 3 vacum vessel cross sections on the table: ID 890, ID 985, elliptical 890 by ~1112 • Elliptical vessel: Interconnect sleeve is technically feasible at a reasonable cost • Assuming relatively small volume phase separators, the interconnect length is determined by the jumper diameter. We need: • First draft of piping diagrams (how many pipes in the jumper and inside the cryostat) • Hydraulic cross sections (how big are such pipes) • What can we do to simplify fabrication/ assembly/ interchangeability? • Phase separators even were they are not needed? More space required • Minimise the number of jumpers? More pipes along the cryostat cross section • Additional pipes for busbars?
