HQ TEST PLANS @ CERN
by Marta BajkoCERN TE-MSC TF
For Hi Lumi and LARP the 16th of November 2011 CERN
Summary
• Cryogenic test station status at CERN• Which cryostat we can use? Characteristics• Which measurements can be done?
– Electrical integrity (HiPot, Insulation, Continuity)– RRR during cool down and warm up– Splice resistance measurements– Inductance measurements– Powering test at 1.9 K and quench localization– Protection heater study if required– Ram Rate dependence study– Mechanical measurements with strain gauges– Magnetic measurements
• When the cold test can take place?
Cryogenic test station at CERN till 2010
A. Test station with 4 vertical cryostats for stand alone magnets located in Prevessin (building 892)
B . Tests station with 10 benches in horizontal position, optimized for the main LHC magnets located in point 18 (building 2173)
Cryogenic test station at CERN from 2011Tests station with 10 benches in horizontal position, optimized for the main LHC magnets, 3 vertical cryostats and supercritical test station located in point 18 (building 2173 called SM18)

With more details on the vertical cryostats
OPERATIONAL !!!….also working in
conditionsLHe( 4.2K and 1.9K)
and He gas with accuracy of <1 Kand up to 17 kAOPERATIONAL !!!First test at
13kA and 4.3K on the 11/11/11 done!
Cryostat design advanced ,
Current lead specification
should be started soon!!!
We plan to fabricate a new additional insert for long cryostat to get read of “dead time” ( change of magnets, installation
de-insatallation…)

The LONG cryostat that we will use for the HQ test
Magnet diameter 570 mm for a cryostat of 600 mm !!!
MAGNET SUSPENSION
Holes for CERNSupport rods fromlambda plate-20 mm thru-holes on 400 mm bolt-circle (shown)-To be designed by CERN.
MAGNET SUSPENSIONADAPTER PLATE(SUPPLIED BY CERN)
FOUR SHORTSUSPENSION RODS(SUPPLIED BY CERN)- Distance between adapter plate and pizzabox = 149 mm.- Rod diameter = 19.05 mm- Thread length on rods allows up to 44.5 mm thick plate.

Which measurements we can do?
– Electrical integrity (HiPot, Insulation, Continuity)
– RRR during cool down and warm up
– Splice resistance measurements ( up to a minimum of 1 nOhm)
– Inductance measurements( with di/dt)
– Powering test at 1.9 K and quench localization with V taps ( eventually also quench antenna but it represent an important extra work)
– Protection heater study if required ( we need to know the time constant or the deposited energy on the heaters to set up the circuits; we have up to 400 V or lower and fixed capacitor benches with units of 14 mF)
– Ram Rate dependence study ( min RR=15 A/s if Imax > 15 kA)
– Mechanical measurements with strain gauges ( with the LBNL system )
– Magnetic measurements ( See details with S. Russenschuck)
