  14. Concentric tube test results: • No unstable flow was detected. • Vertical up flow is added as static pressure to total pressure drop. • Total pressure drop is acceptable (ca. 1 bar ≈ 1.5ºC ΔT) • Concentric tube together with accumulator show a good and stabile evaporator pressure/temperature control. 81%=1620 W bverlaat@nikhef.nl

  15. 2 3 5 6 1 7 4 Evaporator temperature at VELO = Accumulator temperature if pressure drop of return flow is small: TEvaporator = T5 = f(P5) [2-phase] P5 = P1 + dP5-1 P1 = P7 = f(T7) [2-phase] VTCSprinciples: Evaporator is always 2-phase due to heat exchange of concentric tube even if pump temperature is colder than accumulator temperature: Tpump = T1 = TR404a T1<T7, P1=P7 => [sub cooled] T3 ≈T5 [Heat exchange] T4=T3, P4<P3 [expansion, liquid to 2-phase] Accumulator 2-phase 2-phase gas Condenser Evaporator R404a chiller Restriction Pump Concentric tube liquid 2-phase liquid liquid 2-phase bverlaat@nikhef.nl

  16. VTCS principles (Con’d) • Due to the combination of the accumulator and the concentric transfer tube the control of VTCS is limited to temperature control of the accumulator only. As long as the following parameters are set to be fixed: • Liquid temperature lower than to lowest required accumulator temperature. <-30ºC • Fixed massflow of CO2 such that the energy needed for pre heating the subcooled liquid is less than absorbed heat by the detector and environement. • Summarized settings: • Taccu = -25ºC Controlled • Tchiller -40ºC fixed • Massflow = 12.5 g/s fixed bverlaat@nikhef.nl

  17. Typical two-phase loop cycle (CO2 as tertiary coolant) • A-B: Liquid pump • B-C: Pre-heating due to heat exchanger with EF • C-D: Expansion • D-E: Evaporation of CO2, heat is absorbed from heat source • E-F: Condensing in heat exchanger with B-C • F-A: Condensing to chiller Liquid B C P [bar] D E A F Liquid and Vapor Enthalpy [J/g] bverlaat@nikhef.nl

  23. Concentric transfer lines • Function of the concentric transfer lines: • Keep inlet liquid CO2 sub-cooled with cooling overcapacity of return line. => Avoid vapor generation in feed line! • The outlet tube boiling temperature is ALWAYS lower than the inlet tube boiling temperature. A good thermal coupling like in a concentric option per definition keeps the inlet tube temperature lower than its local boiling temperature. • Baseline concept: • Ø6x1mm inner tube (Inlet feed) into Ø16x1mm outer tube (outlet return). • Inner and outer tubes are orbital welded together terminating into Cajon VCR- fittings. • Central 6mm tube is a soft quality stainless tube laying free in outer tube. Inner tube does not have to be centered. • Routing is optimized to have a minimum of height variation (3.5 meter maximum) • Tube assembly is insulated with 25mm Armaflex-NH and supported with Armafix supports bverlaat@nikhef.nl

  24. Concentric transfer line (Con’d) • Features: • Outer and inner tube assembly can be bend together without the risk of a buckling inner tube. • Tube conditions: • Outer annular tube is a two-phase mixture with ca. 30% vapor and 70% liquid (mass fractions) CO2. • Operational temperature range -10ºC/-40ºC • Maximum design pressure 100 bar. • Estimated environmental heat leak 300W. • Needed tooling: • Manual or Orbital welder (Swagelok Series 5 or 10) plus tube preparation tools. • Ordinary bending tool for 16mm (r=TBD) • And whatever is needed for normal pipe routing installation. bverlaat@nikhef.nl
