Three Methods of Obtaining 1.8K Superfluid Helium

• Direct pumping

• Pumping & Throttling

• Pumping & Throttling & Pre-cooling

Direct Pumping

• m (hL1一 hL2 )+(hG1—hG2)(mL1-mL2 )=r (mL1-mL2 )

• Liquefaction rate 59.8%

Heat exchanger

• TESLA cavity: R/Q=1036Ω, L=1.038m

• Vertical test– 35MV/m, Q=8×109

– Ploss =160W

• Horizontal test– 31MV/m, Q=1×1010

Pump Selection• Assume the heat loads 100W.• Without considering the pressure drop between Dewar and

vacuum pump.• 300k, 16mbar, density of helium gas is 2.57×10-3 Kg/m3

Need to be discussed

Comparison of Three Methods

• Direct pumping The structure is simple. Bigger test Dewar is needed for the storage

of much more LHe to keep the test time longer. Otherwise, the process need be stopped to refill LHe.

• Pumping & Throttling No heating exchanger and low efficiency.

• Pumping & Throttling & Pre-cooling Need more instrumentations and bigger investment. Test process is

stable. Sensible heat of 1.8K Helium gas can be used, leading to higher liquefaction rate.

Vertical Test Cryostat Flow Chart

Progress of Vertical Test Cryostat

• Components’ 3D models have been finished and the assembling model need to be checked;

• Key materials have been counted;• Standard components’ selection and layouts are under d

oing and design ( throttling valves, safety valves, hose-burst valve, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, standard cryogenic connectors);

• Key part heat exchanger is under design and need further discussion with FERMILAB;

• The first version of drawings is planed to be finished at the end of this year;

Horizontal Test Cryostat• Single 9cell cavity horizontal test cryostat with length of 1800mm and diamet

er of 966mm;• Cross-section almost the same as EXFEL cryomodule;• A 300 mm He Gas-Return-Pipe (GRP) acting as support structure, together

with 2 adjustable posts on top of the vacuum vessel. One post is the fixed-point, the other post can slide in longitudinal direction;

• A 1.8 K forward line transferring single phase helium, a 1.8 K two phase line connected to the cavity helium vessels, a 4-8 K forward and return line, a 40/80 K forward and return line, and a warm-up/cool-down line with capillary to the bottom of cavity vessel;

• Aluminum thermal shields with stiff upper parts for 4/8K and 40/80 K are attached to the support structure, with 10 layers and 30 layers of super-insulation (MLI) for 4/8K and 40/80 K respectively;

• In the end of cryostat, there is a small helium vessel with a liquid level meter inside, which is connected with He GRP and 1.8K supplying line of 9cell cavity. The cavity can be kept in the 1.8K LHe by monitoring the liquid level meter.

Progress of Horizontal Test Cryostat

• Structure design has been finished;• Model design is nearly finished;• POST support is under design;• Parts of components’ structure need to be improved;

• The first version of drawings is planed to be finishe

d at the end of this year.

Next Years’ Plan

• Complete the thermal dynamic simulation analysis;

• Finish the drawings of vertical Test cryostat and horizontal Test Cryostat and put into machining;

• Complete the whole flow chart of the 9cell cavity test cryogenic system;

• ………….
