AT/ECR CRYOGENICS
Organisation, Procedures and Communication with TCR
Presentation for TCR-ECR-ACRMeeting 2003 by K. Barth
Presentation Outline
• Cryogenics in General• Cryogenics at CERN• AT/ECR Cryogenics
Organisation, inventory & geographic location
• Alarming procedures and contacts• Summary
Cryogenics in general• Low temperatures (120 K <)
• Provide cooling of superconducting magnets and cavities at temperatures down to 1.8 K
• Refrigerators at low temperatures inefficient
• Magnets have big “cold mass” and can quench
• External heat load
CRYOGENICS IS A SPECIAL UTILITY, WHICH TAKES LONG TO RECOVER! (1 hour stop needs 5 hours recovery)
Helium Cryogenics• He4 (atomic mass 4) exists in air
(concentration 5.3 x 10-6)
• He4 is at room temperature ideal gas
• He4 is not solidifying
• Very weak formation enthalpy
• Density of LHe: 125 g/liter1 kg He = 8 liters LHe = 6 m3 GHecost approximately 30.- CHF
• He4 gets superfluid @ 2.17K, 50 kPa
• Main properties of superfluid:Volumetric mass: 145 g/literCapacity to transfer heat is very highViscosity is very low
Cryogenics at CERN• Cooling of superconducting magnets of the
LHC accelerator
• Cooling of superconducting cavities of the LHC accelerator
• Cooling of the superconducting magnets and calorimeters installed in particle detectors for LHC and other experiments
• Cooling of test benches for LHC magnets and superconducting cables
Organisation (ECR / ACR cryogenics)
• ECR cryogenics for experiments and (some) LHC test facilities
• ACR cryogenics for accelerators and SM18/PM18 LHC test facilities
• Operation and Maintenance of all ACR & ECR cryogenic installation is done via an industrial contract (C169) by the consortium AIR LIQUIDE/ LINDE / SERCO (ALLS)

Alarming (TCR Procedure)
• Standby duty (piquet) operator for each cryo zone / control room• Surveillance of the general alarm transmitted automatically from the ABB
monitoring and supervisory system of the zone to the automatic alarm notification system (ANS) and in parallel to the alarm monitoring system of the technical control room (TCR)
• In case of a an alarm without a feedback of the responsible on-call operator (within 15 minutes), TCR operators try to reach cryogenics responsibles, respecting the following priority order:1.) Call ALLS on-call operator of the zone (GSM & private number), if not reachable2.) call ALLS on-call engineer (160683), if not reachable3.) call CERN responsible technician of the zone, if not reachable4.) call CERN responsible engineer

Summary
• ECR cryogenics operation relies on good & fast communications with TCR in case of alarms
• While ANS is not working, calls from TCR is the only way to know about alarms, occurring outside normal working hours
• When ANS is working, calls from TCR will assure that cryo alarms have been noticed
• TCR is the communication interface to/from the users for information concerning cryogenics
• TCR is the co-ordination interface to the other external utilities (electricity, cooling and ventilation) required by cryogenics
