1. INTRODUCTION
TheSSCis an applicationof superconductivityon a scalevastly largerthan any before. Anextensivecryogenicsystemis required,capableof providingfor the normaloperationofthe superconductingmagnetswhile handling transientconditionssuchasquenches,beamactivation and ring filling, and beamrampingacceleration.Thecryogenic systemmustalso be able to perform servicessuchas cleanup,cooldown, and warmup to allow formaintenanceandrepairof thesuperconductingcomponentsthroughoutthering.
Themagnetsin thecollider rings and in theHER high energyboosterring will berefrigeratedby single-phasehelium flow controlledat a temperatureof 4 K to maintain themagnetwindingsin a superconductivestate. To minimizetheheatload into the4 K loop,themagnetcryostatsaredesignedto providehigh quality thermal insulationat nominaltemperaturesof 84 K and 20 K, using thermal shields contained in a high vacuumchamberwith multilayer insulatingmaterialsMLI.
The two collider beam tubesare encasedin parallel rings of superconductingmagnets,eachring 87,120m in circumference;the magnetrings are installed one above
the other, 90 cm apart,in a tunnel 25 to 74 m below ground. The HEB single ring,
10,800 m in circumference,is constructedin a separatetunnelparallel to and 14 m above
thecouidertunnel.This immensesystem,if it isto be broughtinto operationwithin a reasonableperiod
of time, requiresparallel plans for tunnel construction and for installation and
commissioningof themagnets. Thus,a highly centralizedcryogenicsystemwould not be
adequate.Instead,therewill be aseriesof units,eachcapableof independentoperationbutinterconnectedfor redundancy.Thenumberof independentlyoperatingunits is determined
in a trade-off betweeneconomiesof scalein the refrigerationplants and the cost oftransportingheatfrom themagnets.Thedesignof theSSCcallsfor ten sectors,eachover8 km in lengthwith a helium refrigerationplant installedat midpoint. Thecryogenicheatload for the HER resultsprimarily from rampinglossesin thesuperconductingmagnets
andis aboutten times greaterthanthesynchrotronradiation,the largestdynamicheatloadin thecollider. Two helium refrigerationplantseachwith a capacitysimilar to a collider
plant arerequiredfor theHER.Figure 1-1 is a schematicview of the SSC and the relative locations of the
refrigerationplants.

2. THE SYSTEM GEOMETRY
2.1 THE COLLIDER RINGS
The main tunnel of the collider is on a plane with an inclination of 0.2 degrees. It isconfiguredin two arcs,north andsouth,connectedon theeastand westby almost straightsectionsseeFig. 1-I. The highestpoint in the tunnel is in the vicinity of N15, and thelowestpoint is closeto S15.
A helium refrigerationplant locatedon the surfaceservesa sector in the tunnel
extendingapproximately4.3 km to eachside of theplant. The locationsof the heliumrefrigerationplantsfor thecollider are designatedN15, N25, N35, S15,S25,etc.
Cryogensaresuppliedfrom theplantsto thetunnel throughtransferlines in verticalutility shafts near the plants. Additional service shafts are located near the sector
boundaries.A schematiccrosssectionof thecollidertunnel is shown in Figure2.1-2
BetweenN15 and N55 and betweenSl5 and S55 the coflider arcscontain almostcontinuousstringsof superconductingmagnets,for which theyrequirea continuousstreamof coolants. Thecryostatsin theseregionsaredesignedto enablethehandling-including
circulation,distribution,andrecooling-ofthedifferentcryogens.The remainingsectionsof thecolliderring containtheutility regionsbeaminjection,
beamacceleration,beamdump, and tune-upand the interaction regions for the maindetectorsof the SSC. In thesefairly straight segments,superconductingmagnetsareseparatedfrom eachother by warmequipment. To closethe cryogenicloops, specialtransferlines bypassthesewarm regions.

3. THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
3.1 THE CRYOSTAT
The cold componentscryostatwith superconductingmagnets,spool pieces, empty
cryostats,etc.of thecollider and theHEB are designedfor six differentstreams,describedasfollows:
Line 1 - Single-phasefeed
For normal operation,a nominal helium flow of 100g/s at 4K, 0.4MPa flows through
themagnetsto maintainthecoils in thesuperconductivestate. This flow entersthestring atoneend andexits attheotherend, while beingrecooledevery 180m in recoolerslocatedin
thespool pieces. Thecrosssectionof this flow is definedby thesumof thedifferentflow
areaswithin the magnet. A small amountof this feed streamis tappedoff at differentlocationsalong the sthng for therefrigerationof the high currentleads,the bypassleads,and thecurrentleadsfor thecorrectormagnets.
Line 2 - Single-phasereturn
This line, which has an insidediameterID of 45.2mm, is mounted in the vacuumenvelopealongsidethemagnetwinding case. It carriesthesingle-phaseflow from the endofthesiring backto therefrigerator. A sizableportion of this return streamis injectedintotherecoolers.Undernominalconditionsandfor a nominalstring length in thecollider, thebalanceof theflow returningat theendof the line is approximately25g/sper string. Theheatload of theHEB stringsis higherthanthat of thecollider andthehigh boil-off ratein
the recoolersmay requiresupply of single-phaseflow from both ends.
Line 3 - 4K helium vapor return
This line, sizedat 86.5mmID for thecollider and 110mmID for the HEB, returnstheboil-off helium from the recoolersto the cold compressor,which dischargesit to therefrigerator.
Line 4 - 20K feed/return
For the 20 K shield loop, 82.5mmID pipe is used.Thedesign flow rate is lOOg/s at 0.3MPa with adesignload of 2500Wper string or a total of 5000Wper loop. Accordingto a given scheme,theflow is suppliedto thetop ring andreturnedto theplant throughthebottom ring. A different schemecalls for a clockwise flow in one ring andcounterclockwisein thesecondring; this mayallow for sharingloadsbetweensectorsandbalancingmassinventory.
13
In the HEB the flow is routed from one refrigeratorthrough the two connectingstringsto the secondrefrigeratorfrom H20 throughH30, H40, and H50 to H60; and fromH60 throughH70, H80, and H10 to H20.
Line S - 80K LN2 shield line
This 57.2mm ID line is used to distribute the liquid nitrogen in the tunnel for the
refrigerationof the 80K shield andto supply liquid nitrogen to the refrigerationplantsfor
precooling. A detaileddescriptionof the nitrogensystemis presentedin "Nitrogen System
for theSSC."
Line 6 - 80K GN2 shield line
A second57.2mmID line is usedto return thevapornitrogenproducedin the nitrogen
recoolersto thehelium refrigeratorfor precoolingpurposes.Thevapor is subsequently
ventedto atmosphereat300 K.
Warm helium return header
A warm returnheader,sizedat 213mmID, is installed in thetunnel to return the warmhelium flow from thecurrentleads. This headeris alsousedto returnwarm helium during
cleaning,cooldown,and maintenanceprocesses.Theinsulatingspacesaroundthecryogeniccomponentsmagnets,spoolpieces,and
transferlinesareevacuatedto 1.3 x 10-2Pa by mechanicalpumpsandto 1.3 x l0- Pa by
cryo pumping. This vacuumis requiredto minimize theheatload on thecold mass. The
insulating spaceis boundedradially by theouter walls of thecryostatand axially by the
vacuumbarrierslocatedin thespool pieces.In the coffider, the insulatingvacuumvolumebetweentwo vacuumbarriershalf-cell is approximately22m3.
Crosssectionsof different cryostatsare shown in Figure 3.1-1 collider dipole,Figure 3.1-2 collider and HER bypasses,and Figure 3.1-3 vertical transfer lineconnectingthe surfacehelium refrigerationplants to therings in the tunnel.
Besidesthe standardcryostatsand bypassesusedin the collider, therearemorecomplicatedcryostats,suchas thosecontainingtwo cold massesFig. 3.1-4 and thosewhich requirecomplexconnectionsto the cryogenic bypasses.Thesewill be discussedelsewhere.

Thehelium cold compressorbox servesasthe interfacepointbetweenthe shafttransferlinesystemand theremainderof the tunnel equipment. It alsocontainsthecold compressorthat maintainsthe boiling temperaturein the recoolersof themagnetstrings at 3.95 K-4.00 K. The single-phasehelium main feed flow from the surface is cooled in a heatexchangerby the returnvapor and the remainingreturnliquid from themagnetstings. The
34
cold compressoroperateswith an inlet temperatureof 4.3K and at a suctionpressureof
0.75bar, and dischargesat 1.45bar. Therewill be additional connectionsto install a
secondcold compressor,operatingin serieswith thefirst, for conditioning of the magnet
stringsby a temporarytemperaturereduction. The appropriatebypassand isolation valves
aredesignedinto this box to performthevariousutility loops andstandardoperatingloops
of the cryogenic system. Figure 4.6.1 shows a conceptualschematicof this box. An

S. HEAT LOAD BUDGET
Heattransferinto thecomponentsatliquid helium temperatureis minimized by two thermalshieldsmaintainedat 80K and 20K and by an insulating spacemaintainedat highvacuum. Heat input to the 4K componentsis characterizedinto two loads: dynamicandstatic. Themajorportion of dynamicload is causedby thesynchrotronradiationfrom thebeam. Static load resultsfrom the heatconductionand thermalradiation loadsfrom thewarmerpartsin thecryostat. This heatfrom the4K componentsis removedby circulatingsingle-phase4K helium through thesecomponentsand by recooling this single-phasestreamin recoolersalongthe string.
The heatload from the4K componentsis reflectedasa 4K refrigerationload on thehelium plant. Somecomponentsthat protrudefrom theoutsideinto the4K parts of thecryostat,suchaselectricalleads,are cooledby small streamsof 4K helium; this helium is
returnedwarm to theplant andtranslatesinto a liquefaction loadon theheliumplant.The temperatureof the 20K shield is maintainedby circulating 3 bar helium gas
throughtheshieldat a supply temperatureof 14K. Heat into the 80K shield is removedby an independentnitrogencooling system. Theheatloadsof thevariousequipmentare
budgetedto one of the threeloadson the helium refrigerationsystem-thatis, the 4Krefrigerationload, the liquefaction load, or the 20K shield load. The 80K loads arebudgetedto thenitrogencooling system.

Collider string heat budget
The heatbudgetfor a typical string is given in Table 5.1-6. There is a differencein theexpectedheatloadsfor thedifferent strings dueto small variationsin thedesignof the arc
strings. Theheatbudgetfor 20 collider strings in onering is given in Table5.1-7. For the4 K loadsthreevaluesare tabulated: the static load theheatleakwith no particle beamin
the system,thedynamicload the addditionalload dueto theexistenceof thebeam,and
the total loadthe sumof the two.
Collider sector heat budget
The sectorheatload is calculated by summationof the loadsof all stringsconnected to the
same feedplus the additional global loads of the sector. Table 5.1-8 showsthecalculated

7.1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION DESJGN
The SCSis divided into the sector refrigerator surface systemSRS, the sector refrigeratortunnel systemSRT, and the sectorrefrigerator control systemSRC. The SRS includesall the equipmenton thesurface-thatis, therefrigerationunit, storagefacilities, and allauxiliariesassociatedwith therefrigerationunit. The SRT includesthe cold compressorbox, the nitrogencoldbox, the undergrounddistribution box, thecryogenicdistributionsystem,the shafttransferline system,thenitrogendump tanks,and the auxiliary end box.TheSRCis thecontrolsystemfor theSCSandfor all of its components.
The sectorrefrigeratorsurfacesystemSRS should be able to operateeffectivelyundera variety of operatingconditions. Theprimary functionof this systemis to providerefrigerationto the magnet strings. Secondaryoperating modes include cleanup,cooldown,warmup,andmaintenanceof themagnetstrings. In orderto meetthe operatingrequirementsfor eachmode, a minimum set of componentsis neededto enablethereconfigurationof the systemby including or excludingspecific subsystemsto adjustthecapacityandthroughputof eachsubsystem.The designmustthereforealso provide theappropriateoverall control philosophy of the system,in particular that of the liquidmanagementscheme.Thelatterservesasthe interfacebetweenthesurfacesystemandthetunnel cryogenicssystem,andshould be capableof handlingthevariousoperatingmodes.

4.0 K cooling of the magnet string Fig. 7.2.1
Nominal helium flow of 400 g/s at 4 bar from therefrigeratorsystemcoldbox is suppliedto the precooler. No helium pump is usedfor this purpose.Theprecooleris locatedin thesurfacedistribution box. The subcooledstreamexiting the precoolerat 4.45 K is carried
through thevertical shaft transferline in thesectoraccessshaftdown to the tunnel to aheatexchangerlocatedin thecold compressorbox. Therethe 4 barhelium is subcooledto4.0 K beforedelivery to the undergrounddistribution box by exchangingheatwith the
vaporandthesingle-phasehelium streamsreturningfrom themagnetstrings.
In the tunneldistribution box, this 4 bar flow is split equally, supplyingeachof thefour strings with 100 g/s. Each helium streamis recooledin the SPRF feed spoolrecoolersbeforeenteringthe first celL This helium flows throughthemagnetcold massto
removetheheatgenerated.Thesupercritical flow througheachstring is recooledevery180 m by recoolerslocatedin spoolpiecesSPRA. At thefar endof eachstring in the
SPREthe flow is returned throughthe liquid return line, which is mountedalongsidethemagnetcold mass in the cryostat. The returninghelium suppliestherecoolers,locatedalong the string. Boil-off from the recoolersis collectedin thegaseoushelium return line
andreturnedto thecold compressorbox.
During full load operationof the collider a total of 264 g/s is expandedinto the
recoolersin eachsector. The excessliquid helium from the return line is expandedto
saturatedliquid in the surfaceprecoolervesselandis usedfor precoolingthe heliumflow to
the tunnel. The control valve on the single-phasereturnline in the surfacedistributionboxis usedto control thepressureof thestreamsin the magnetstrings.The main J..T valve
V.1452 on thecoldbox is usedonly asabackuppressurecontrol for the supply stream.The valveon eachfeedline controlsthe flow of eachsupply stream. The control valveonthe single-phasereturn line in the surfacedistribution box, together with the liquidconsumptionin therecoolers,maintainsthetpacrossthemagnevstringandprovidesthe
100 g/s helium flow througheachstring.Excessliquid producedby therefrigeratoris diverted to the dewarvia a parallelJ-T
valve. The vapor is returnedfrom the recoolersat approximately0.77 bar. It is thencompressedby a cold compressorto 1.45bar and returnedto the main coldbox. Thereturnvapor streamsfrom thedewarand from thecold compressorflow arecombinedatthe appropriatetemperaturesandpassthrough the low pressuresideof the heatexchangersto thefirst-stagecompressors.Theoperatingschemeof this cooling loop for the HEB is
slightly differentbecauseof thehigherheatload.
Lead cooling Fig. 7.2.2
Liquid is tappedoff along thestring for cooling of power leadsfor themain magnetsandcorrectormagnets. Valvesatthe warm endof the leadscontrol theflows throughthe leadsto minimize the 4K helium consumptionwithout dangerof burning out the leads. Amaximum of 36 g/s persectoris used to cool the leads. Theleadcooling flow is returned
63
to the warm helium returnheaderin the tunnel. The warm gas is returnedto the first-stage
compressorsthrougha vertical line from the return headerto the refrigerationplant.
20 K shield Fig. 7.2.3
In order to cool the 20 K radiationshieldsin thecryostats,a helium stream is tappedoff
the appropriateexpanderoutlet flow at a temperatureof 14-15K and suppliedthrough a
separatecircuit at 3barnominal pressure.Theflow is divided into two lOOg/s streams.
One 100 gfs stream passesthrough the lower string 20K shield designatedLine 4 and
returns through the upperstring. Theother lOOg/s passesthrough the upperstring and
returnsthrough the lower string in theotherhalf of thesector. In thenominal operating
case,the lOOg/s flow travels a distanceof 8.6km, and the expectedload througheach
loop is 5kW for a total of 10kW per sector. The return flow is brought back at 2bar
througha separatepassin the upperheatexchangers.The 20K loop pressurewill be
maintainedbelow the 4K looppressureto avoid any leakagefrom 20K to 4K. During a
quenchthe 4K magnetcold massflow may alsobe ventedinto the20K shieldline.
84 K shield Fig. 7.2.4
A nitrogencooling ioop providesthe cooling for the84K shield of the magnetcryostats.Two nitrogen lines run througheach cryostat,onecarrying vapor and the other liquid.
Cooling of the shieldis accomplishedby recoolingtheliquid nitrogenstreamwith recoolers
alongthestring and with the injection of liquid into thenitrogenvaporline; thus the vapor
line operatesasa continuousrecooler. The vaporproducedin therecoolersis returnedtothe surfacerefrigeratorfor helium precoolingand is ventedto theatmosphereat 300K.
The 84 K shield cooling systemwill not be describedin detail here,but thereadershouldrefer to the publication entitled: "Nitrogen Systemfor the SSC," cited in Section 2.2,
above.
7.3 OPERATING CONDITIONS AND PRESSURE DROPS
Single-phase 4K helium - Line 1
The flow rate of the single-phasehelium through the magnetstring is designedto be100g/s for both thecollider andtheHEB. Dueto heatload, thereis a temperaturerise inthe single-phaseflow betweenrecoolers . The recoolerscool the supercritical flow to
4.05K, the highestrecoolingtemperatureallowed. At designconditionsthe predictedpressuredropfor a 4320m string is 0.5 bar this excludesthestatic head which can be asmuchas-0.18bar. Thetemperaturechangesin thearc cellsresulting from thepredictedheatloadsare shownin Figures7.3-1 and7.3-2. The distancebetweenrecoolersin thecollider is l8Om and in theHEB 65m.

Temperature variations in a colilder cell located on the right side of the feedat the end of the string where the recooling temperatureis the highest.
For a similar cell located on the left hand side of the feed, the highest temperature
expected in the last dipole is higher by 14 mK.
For a cell located on the left hand side of the feed and starting with an isolationspool the maximal temperature is higher by 14 mK as above, plus 20 mK due to theheat leak in the SPRI and U-tubes Which are located after the recooler.
The expected change in the recooling temperature between the Feed-Spool to theEnd-Spool is 50 mK.
The designed temperature approach in the recooler is 50 mK.

Single-phasereturn 4K helium - Line 2
The single-phasereturn line carriesthe single-phaseflow exiting themagnet string to the
surfacerefrigerator system. The returningflow is throttled into the recoolersalong the
string,providing refrigeration to thesystem. Theamount of flow exiting the string at the
end of the sectoris equalto the amountof thefeedflow minusthe leadcooling flows. The
amountof flow lost to leadcooling is about9g./sper string. At nominal loading the amount
required for refrigerationwill be around264 g/s per sector;thus thetotal flow returningto
the refrigeratoris normally -lOOg/s or 25g/sper string. Undernominal conditions, the
pressure drop through Line 2 is under0.03bar for a string length of 4320m.
4K vapor helium return - Line 3
Thevaporreturn line, Line 3, collectsthe boil-off vaporfrom all therecoolersdistributed
along the string. The flow rateat theend box is zero and by thetime the flow exits the
string it will havegrown to a value in therangeof 68 g/s for thecollider and212 g/s fortheHER. Requirementsof the operatingtemperaturelimit thepressurechangesallowedthroughthis line. Theoverall changeallowedis 5kPaper string.
20 K helium loop - Line 4
In a collider sector,undernominal operatingconditions,a flow of 100g/s at 3 bar, 14Kis suppliedto one string andreturnedthrough the secondstring at 2 bar and about 24K,
all within thesector. In theHER, theflow throughthe20K helium loop originatesin oneheliumplant and is returnedto the secondhelium plant.
SO K liquid nitrogen loop - Line 5
This line is usedto refrigeratethe 84 K shield. It is also usedfor distribution of liquidnitrogen supplied to the whole systemat two collider locations,at a total feed rateof4*7 kg/s. The expectedmaximumflow rate per line undernormalconditionsis 1.2kg/s.In certainpartsof thesystemthelocal flow rateneedsto be increasedby meansof sectorcirculation pumps. The heatabsorbedby the liquid nitrogen is removedby recoolers
locatedat the endof each1080 m section,and by a continuousrecoolingsystembasedoninjection of liquid into the vaporreturnline.
80 K vapor nitrogen return - Line 6
This line is usedto return theboil-off vaporfrom thenitrogenrecoolers. It is alsousedasa continuousrecooler by injecting liquid nitrogen at sectionboundaries. This type ofrecooleris possibledueto thedip or inclihation of thewholecollider. Detailsaregiven in"NitrogenSystemfor theSSC,"cited in Section2.2, above.

8. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS AND DEFINITIONS OFOPERATING MODES
The following are theprimarymodesandoperationalrequirementsof the SCS. Thedesignof thesystemmustmeettheseoperatingmodesandrequirements.
Normal operating modes
Thesemodescover the steadyoperationof the systemwithout the beam,thechangeinoperationwhenthe beamis turnedon, andthechangein operationwhen thebeamis turned
off.
Minimum/maximum capacity modes
For the minimum mode,the systemis operatedat the lowestcapacitythat will maintain
equipmentat liquid helium temperaturesand will processdewarboil-off. The minimum
mode is achievedby operatingtheplant with a the leastpossiblenumberof compressors
andexpanders.In maximumcapacitymode,all compressorsand expandersarerunning exceptfor
redundantorspareequipment.
Utility modes
Thesemodescover the warm gascirculation for cleanup;the cooldownfrom 300K to4 K, magnetconditioning,emptying of the sector,and warmup of the sectorand theproceduresrequiredfor magnetrepair.
Featuresand requirements
Thefollowing featuresof therefrigerationsystemarerequiredin orderto operatetheentirecryogenicsystem. The systemmustallow for theadjustmentof the local capacity,andmust allow fast transitionbetweentheoperatingconditionsof therings. Therefrigerationplant mustoperateefficiently over a wide rangeof operatingconditions. Thesystemmustbe designedto be reliableand a redundancyschememust be providedto allow operationduring equipmentfailures. The systemmusthandleupsetconditions,suchasquenches,without any severeinterruption to its operation. The magnetsystemmay releaseaconsiderablenumberof contaminantsduring its operation,and thecryogenicsystemmustbetolerantto this discharge.
8.1 CAPACITY ADJUSTMENT, EFFICIENCY, AND GAS
MANAGEMENT SCHEME.
Thedynamic load ofthe collidercontributesto abouthalf the4K refrigerationheatload onthecryogenicplant When thebeamis down,the loadon the plantis reducedto lessthan
72
half, and when a sectionis underrepairthe load is considerablyless. In order to haveacost-effectiveandefficientoperatingschemefor the collider, therefrigerationplant mustbecapableof efficientturndownwhenrequired. In the plant’sbasicrefrigerationmode, it willbe capableof operatinganywherebetweenthe maximum capacityand the minimumcapacityobtainablewithout bringing a compressoror expanderoffline. Within this range,the gasmanagementscheme,togetherwith thecoldbox control scheme,will allow theplantto turn up anddown accordingto thedemandsof the loads 4K refrigeration,liquefaction,and20K shield.
The responseof the refrigerationplant to thedifferentloadsis determinedby themaincontrol loops-inparticularthegasmanagementsystem-andthis responseis summarizedasfollows:
a. First-stagecompressors:Flow to thefirst-stagecompressorsis fed from:
1 theflow returningfrom thecoldbox low pressureside,
2 themakeupfrom gasstoragecontrolledby V-1008,and
3 the leadcooling flow controlledfrom the wannreturnheader,V-lOb.
To preventthe suctionpressurefrom droppingto a subatmosphericlevel,thereis a bypassacrossthefirst stagethroughvalveV-l00l that keepsthefirst stagefully loaded. Thenetmassflow contributionfrom thefirst stageto the secondstageis equal to the net flow to the first stage1 + 2 + 3,above.
b. Secondstagecompressors: Thesecondstagesuctioninterstagepressurevariesaccordingto themass flow to the secondstagecompressors.Thisflow is the sumoftherecyclemassflow returnedfrom themediumpressurepassandthenetmassflow contributionfrom thefirst stage.
For small loads the suctionpressureof the secondstagedropsto the levelcontrolledby thesecondstagebypassV-l002. Whenthecoldboxsystemandcompressorsystemreachtheequilibrium necessaryto handlethis load,eachexpandersettlesto its own operatingcondition and the dischargepressureof thesecondstagecompressoris at a valuedeterminedby the netinventory in the coldbox. As a result, the secondstagecompressorpressuressuctionand dischargesettle to therespectivevaluesrequiredtohandlethis flow.
c. 20K compressor: At steadystate the suction pressureof the 20Kcompressoris determinedby therateof flow returningfrom the20K shieldloop. The dischargepressureof this compressoris determinedby thesystemdischargepressurenecessaryto handlethetotal load asdescribedinthepreviousparagraph.
73
The gasmanagementbypassvalvesare:
a. Medium pressureto low pressurebypassV-lOOl. This controls theminimumpressureto which thefirst stagesuctionis allowedto drop; asaresult,thenet flow from the first stageinto the secondstageis equalto theflow from theload returnplus makeup.This valve is alsousedfor runningthefirst stagecompressorsindependentof the coldbox and is sizedfor fullflow bypass.
b. High pressureto medium pressurebypassV-1002. This controls theminimum pressureto which the secondstagesuctionis allowed to drop,and is also usedfor runningthe secondstagecompressorsindependentofthecoldbox. It is sizedfor full flow bypass.
c. Medium pressureto 20K suctionbypassV-l003. This allows the systemto processmore gas when the secondstageruns out of displacementcapacity. V-1003is usedonly if therequiredflow ratesthroughthe 20Kshieldscanbe maintained.
d. High pressureto 20K suction bypassV-I 004. V- 1004 controls theminimum pressureat which the 20 K compressorsuction is allowed tooperate. V-1004is alsousedto run the 20K compressorindependentfromthe coldbox and should be sized for the full capacity of the 20Kcompressorat 4 bar suction.
e. High pressuredischargeoverloadto storageV- 1005.
f. Makeupinto secondstagesuctionV-bOo.
g. Makeup into 20K suctionV- 1007 is suppliedthroughthe dehydrationskid. This allows moisture to be removedfrom contaminatedheliumsuppliedfrom warm gasstorage.
h. Makeupfrom gasstorageto first stagecompressorsV- 1008.
i. Warm gassuppliedfrom storageinto warm return headerV- 1009 forinventorymanagement.
j. Gasmakeupfrom warm returnheaderV-lOb to fir st stagecompressors.Undernormaloperation,this makeupis equalto the liquefactionload.
In summary,therefrigeratorcapacitychangesaccordingto the load total of 4Krefrigeration,liquefactionand 20 K shield. Makeupallowedinto thesystemfrom storageconstitutesan additional load. Changein capacityis reflectedby a changein thesecondstagedischargepressure;this changeoccurswhenthereis a changein thenetequilibriuminventoryin theplant coldboxjcompressors.Any excessliquid producedis storedin thedewar. At lower loads, one or more compressorsor expandersmay be shut down tomaintainefficiency in operationof thesystem. The basiccontrolphilosophyremainsthesamein this casebut thesystemis operatingata lower capacity.

8.2 LIQUID INVENTORY MANAGEMENT AND REDUNDANCY SCHEME
Liquid inventory management
The liquid inventory managementsystemservesas the interfacebetweenthe surfacerefrigeratorand the tunnel cryogenicsystem,and its hardwareconfigurationand control
schemeare critical for smooth operationbetweenthe surfacerefrigeratorand a very
demandingcryogenicload. The liquid inventorymanagementsystemmust be able tohandlethe following minimumfunctions:
a. Managethesingle-phasereturnflow. Thesectorrequiresa circulationflowof 400g/s. Under normal operatingloads, the single-phasereturn flowfrom the 4 K refrigeration loop is returnedto the surfaceprecoolerV-l5 14, andadditional precoolingcapacitycomesfrom the refrigeratorindirectly-thatis, via JT-valveV-b45b into the dewar,andfrom thereviacontrolvalveV-i 513 into theprecoolerbath. This configurationallows therefrigeratorto deliver extraliquid into thedewar. Theflow to theprecoolercan be deliveredfrom thedewarindependentof therefrigerator’scapacityduring transients. Normally all the return flows are flashed into theprecoolervia V-b5b4. During transients,excessflow is returnedto thedewarvia pressurecontrol valveV-b505.
b. Control pressureduring transientssuchasquenchesand inventorychangesof the sthngs: Pressurecontrol valvesV-1504 and V-1505 allow flow tothedewarfrom boththe single-phasefeedand the returnline.
c. Interchangesingle-phasefeed andreturnflows. This reversesflow throughthe magnetsstringsfor instrumentationcalibration. V-b502is closedandthe single-phasefeed is suppliedthroughV-i503 with thereturnhandledthroughV-1504. Mostof theprecoolingsupply comesthroughV-i513.
d. Allow the liquid helium storagedewar to act asa storagebuffer. Excessflow from the single-phasereturn not usedfor precoolingis storedin thedewarvia V-i 505. Additional excessliquid from therefrigeratoris sentviaparalleliT valve V-i45i to thedewar.
e. Allow theliquid helium storagedewarto actasacapacitybuffer. Whentherefrigeratoroutputchangesat a rateslowerthanthe load, liquid from thedewaris usedfor precoolingof thefeed streamV-1513. This allows thesupply flow rate to be increasedwhennecessaryfor loadvariations.
f. Allow transferof liquid helium from neighboringsectors.Whenadditionalliquid inventoryis requiredfrom neighboringsectors,V-15l4 andV-15O5can be usedto lower the local systempressure,andallow theneighborstotransferliquid into thesector.
g. Maintain thecirculationflow throughthe strings in therangeof lOOg/s perstring and a pressurehigherthan3 bar.

Redundancy scheme
In theeventof failure of any expander,the systemmustcontinueto operatewith at leastthesteady-statenominal loadcapacitygiven in Table9.2-2. Someliquefactioncapacitymaybeborrowedfrom neighboringplants. This requiresthateachsystembe designedwith excess
capacity. Dueto theflow rate limitations of the cold piping in the magnetstrings, it isdifficult to transfer4K refrigerationbetweensectors. However,liquefaction loadscanbetransferredrelativelyeasilyby shifting the warm gasflow to neighboringsectors-thatis,
the neighboringplant takesmoregasout of the warm return header. Single-phaseflow is
transferredfrom one sectorinto theotherat the sectorboundaryin the auxiliary end box
through a flow controlvalve. Becauseof the liquid inventory in thesectordewarsthereisno needfor immediateaid from theneighboringsectors. Capacityand inventorycan alsobe shifted betweensectorsby handshaking20K flows acrosssectorboundaries. In thiscase,themaximumallowableimbalanceof the20K flows in therefrigeratoris determined
by the remainingliquefactioncapacityof theplant
Therefrigeratoris designedto provide 15kW of cooling to the20K shield at 4bar
supply pressure. The nominal load for an averagesectoris 10kW. Two neighboringplantscan togetherprovide20K refrigerationto a sectorwhenrequired. In this caseoneleg of eachneighbor’s20K loop will be approximately17 km long.
8.3 CONTAMINATION TOLERANCE
Sincethere are 16 km of magnetcoils and laminationsconnectedto eachplant, it isreasonableto expectahigh level of contaminationandimpurities,andthesystemshould bedesignedto be insensitiveto these. Appropriateadsorberbedsmustbe provided in thecoldbox and 20K loop. Tracegasesareremovedin adsorberbedsat 80K and 20 K. Inorder to removemoisture,a mole sievebedis installed inline on thereturnstreamof the20 K loop aheadof thecompressor.This mole sieveis usedduring nominal andlow loadsand during cleanupand cooldown to 80K. Moisture not removedby the beds iscondensedin the 300K-80 K heatexchanger. To allow the systemto operatewithoutinterruption while the first heatexchangeris being derimed,a second,parallel,300K-80 K full sizeheatexchangeris required.
Sincethe initial chargeand all makeuphelium are suppliedto thesystemasliquid,thereis no appreciablesystemcontaminationfrom the helium supply itself However,warm gasthat may be contaminatedwith moisturemust first be processedthroughthedehydrationskid.
76
8.4 QUENCH TOLERANCE AND RECOVERY
The refrigerationplant and systemmust toleratethe quenchof singleand multiple half-cells, and must support rapid quench recovery. The main concernis protection ofexpanders. A cold buffer volume connecteddownstreamof the last expanderis onepossiblemeansof protection. The helium returningthrough the single-phasefeed andreturnlines to the surfaceis sent to thedewar. During a quench,a portion of thehelium
from the 4K loop is ventedinto the 20 K loop. The 20 K expandermust continue
working andmustdischargeits flow to thecoldbox insteadof to the 20 K feed line. On
the 20K return side, an independentpassthrough the heat exchangerstack to an
independentcompressorallows thepressurein the 20 K systemto rise, minimizing theeffect on the rest of the plant. The increasein suction pressureallows the 20 Kcompressorto processmoreflow during quenchrecovery. Excessinventorythat cannotbereliquefiedby the refrigeratorgoesto warm gas storage.
8.5 CLEANUP, COOLDOWN, FILLUP, AND WARMUP REQUIREMENTS.
Separatelines that bypassthecoldbox on the supply andreturnsidesarerequiredto handletheflows during cleanup,cooldown,and warmup.
For cleanup, the plant provides clean warm gas to the system. To removecontaminationfrom thehelium stream,thehelium is cooledto 80K. Cooling the helium to80 K allows impurities to be adsorbedin the 80 K beds. The helium is then warmedto
ambienttemperaturebefore it is sent back to the system. To allow for this mode ofoperation,certain bypassand control valves are requiredin the plant: a bypassvalveV- 1351 from the high pressureto the mediumpressurepassafterthe 80K beds,and acontrol valve V.1362 to regulatethe warm flow to the supply lines of the system.Crossovervalve V-l324 allows thedehydrationunit to processgasfrom the warm return
header.Cooldown from 300 K to 80 K requires450kW refrigeration capacity using
nitrogen. Theliquid nitrogenboiler mustbe appropriatelysizedfor this duty. A controlvalveV-l363 regulatingcold flow into thecooldownline is neededfor this service. Forcooldownto 20K, a crossovervalvefrom the20K expanderto thecooldownsupply lineis required. Crossovervalvesare requiredfrom the cooldownreturn line into the heatexchangerstacksat 80K V.1321and-20K V.1423. On thevaporreturnline from thetunnel cold compressordischarge,crossovervalves V-1431, 1432, 1433, and 1434into theheatexchangerstackatapproximately5 K, 7 K, and 9 K arerequiredto return theflow during upsetconditions,magnetconditioning,and the last phaseof the cooldownprocess.
For warmup,the plant mustbe able to supply cleanwarm gasfrom thecoldbox,orgasobtainedfrom thecompressorsystemafterthegasexits thefine oil removal skid. The
77
sameloop usedto generateclean gasfor cleanupis usedfor the warmup process. Warmgasobtainedfrom the compressorsystemmay be used when high purity gasis not of
concernV-1361.
8.6 EXPANDABILITY
Thecollider is an instrumentunderdevelopmentand someof its operatingrequirements
cannot be known in advance. It is desirablethat provisionbe madefor a futureupgradeinthe systemcapacityto asmuch as 150%of the initial deliveredrating. It is expectedthat
this upgradewould be accomplishedby adding an extra coldbox and additional
compressorsat a later date. The SRS mustprovidefor connectionsfor upgrade-thatis,additional connectionsin the surfacedistribution box and compressorsystem. Theequipmentlayoutsmustalsoallow enoughspacefor additions.

9. OPERATING MODES
9.1 OPERATING MODES OF THE REFRIGERATION PLANT
The ninerefrigerationplantsfor the collider andthe two for theHEB are identicalin design
andcapacity. However,variationsin sectordesignresultsin correspondingvariationsinthe refrigerationand liquefaction loads for eachplant. Theplant is designedto handlearangeof situations-whenthe beamis active, or whenthe beamis not active; when a
neighboringplantneedsassistance;whenan quenchoccurs;andwhencooldown,warmup,
or maintenancetakesplace. For eachof thesesituationsthe refrigerationplant operatesin a
differentmode. When the beamis active theplant operatesin normalmode. When the
beamis not active theplant operatesin standbymode. When a quenchoccurstheplant
operatesin quenchrecoverymode. When a neighboringsectorneedsassistancetheplant

Theplant is alsodesignedto operatein othermodes-inspecialmodesfor singleringoperation,andin a minimum capacitymodewhen loadsarevery low. Thesystem’sstatesand plant operationalmodesaredefinedon Figure9.1-1. Thedesignload and thenormaloperatingandspecialmodesaredescribedin this section;theutility modesare describedinchapter10.
The plant is operatingin the normalmodewhenthesystemis cold andthe beamison. In this mode, the load on the refrigerationplant may vary accordingto the beamintensity.

Fig 9.1-I. Definition of the Plant Staresand the Refrigeration Plant Operating Modes
Design load Table 9.2.1
Therefrigerationsystemis designedwith a specific capacityto meeteachof the variousnormal loads,to meetall theloadsduring specific upsetconditions,andwith extracapacityto meet redundancyrequirements. The systemis able to reach its maximum designcapacity,given in Table9.2-1,whenall of its componentsare functioningproperly. Thecapacityrequiredfor normaloperationof a nominal coilider sectoris lessthan this designcapacity.
In the eventof failure of any single expander,the systemmustcontinueto operatewith at least the steady-statecapacity given in Table 9.2-2. Furthermore,when aneighboringsector needsassistancein the form of liquefaction or other loads, therefrigeratormustturn up to providethis assistance.Dueto theflow ratelimitationsof thecold piping in the magnetstrings, it is difficult to transfer4 K refrigerationbetween
sectors. However, liquefaction and 20 K loads can be transferredrelatively easily byshifting thewarm gasflow to neighboringsectorsor by handshaking20K flows betweensectors.
This extracapacityallows for quick recoveryafter a quench. During and after aquenchthe recoveryprocessmust begin quickly, with theplant turned up to handlethistransient.
The sectorsarenot all equalin length, asshownin Table 2.1-2. The largersectorwill have capacityto handleits loadslocally, and the shortersectorswill have excesscapacity.Thevarious loadson eachsectorrefrigeratorwill vary from sectorto sectorsee
Figure 5.1-1 andTable 5.1-9.
Normal operating modes
Normalmode- nominal load Table 92-2
In thecouidersector,this is thenominalheatloadexpectedwhenthebeamis on and atfull
power. Theloadfor anominal collidersectoris given in Table9.2-2. This load will varyslightly from sectorto sectorbecauseofthedifferencein lengthand designof the sectors.
Normal operationof theHEB is for approximatelytwo hoursper day. During theremainingtime theFLEE will be idle, in "standbycold" status. It hasa very high dynamic
loadcomparedwith thecollider load, If necessaryduring thenormal operation,heliumfrom thedewarwill be usedandwhenthesystemis in standbystatus,thedewaris refilled.
Thereis only onering in theHEB Fig. 9.1-2,and thereforeits 20K shield loop isrouteddifferently from that of thecollider. Therouting of the the4K loops is similar tothatfor the couider. The HEB ‘S 20 K shieldroute startsat oneheliumplant and endsinthe otherhelium plant, and a similar schemeis proposedfor the collider. If inventoryaccumulatesin oneplant, the20K supply flows maybe temporarilyadjustedto returntheexcessinventory otherwiseinventorymay be exchangedthroughthe warmreturnheader.
81
Standbymode- standbyload Table9.2-3
When the rings arecold andthere is no beamand no current,theonly refrigerationloadsare the static conductionand thermal radiation loads. Flow through the leads is alsodecreased,reducingthe liquefaction loads from 36 g/s to about25 g/s. This is thestandbymode. If a quenchoccurs,theproton beamis dumpedandthe refrigerationsystemin thesectorwherethequenchtook placegoesinto thequenchrecoverymode. Thecurrentsinthe magnetsof theremainingsectorsare rampeddown to zero and their refrigeratorsare
turned down from normal mode to standbymode until recoveryis completedin the
quenchedsector.
Assistmode- assistloadTable 9.2-4
In the event of a moreseriousfailure in one sector-thatis, if more than one expandershould fail to the extent that its refrigerator is unableto handlethe nominal operatingloads-theneighboringplantscan be turnedup to their maximum capacityto take theliquefactionload from the sectorrequiringassistance.In this modetheassisting plantmust
be capableof absorbingat leasthalf the liquefaction load 18Wsof the sectorrequiring
assistance;theotherneighboringsectorwill absorbthe remaininghalf.
Quenchand recoverymodeFigure 9.1-3
In the eventof a quench,the quenchprotectionsystemis designedto dump the storedenergy into specific energydumps. However,some of the half-cell storedenergyis
dissipatedin themagnet windings,causingthemto warm up. When a quenchis detectedin any magnet,a quenchis inducedin theentirehalf-cell 90m for protection. Thehalf-cell stored energy of roughly 8 megajoulesis divided betweenthe helium and thecoldmass,with about3 megajoulesgoing to the helium. As the temperatureandpressureof thehelium increase,the inventoryof thehalf-cell----600liters-mustbe absorbedby the SRSin a few minutes in orderto relievethesystem:The quenchdetectionsystemopensthehalf-cell quenchrelief valve V-2 to vent thewarm helium to the20K shield line, If thewaxmhelium flow is not vented,it may inducea quenchin therest of thestring.
If many half-cellsquenchat any given time, thetemperaturein the20K line dropsandthepressurerises. This low temperaturehelium returns20 K returnline to theplant,exchangingheatwith the 20K feed flow by closing V-i 510 and openingv-i 509. Therising suction pressureon the 20K compressorincreasesits mass flow capacity,thusaiding the quenchrecoveryand the inventorymanagementassociatedwith the quenchrecoveryprocess.Thegasmanagementallows the20Kcompressorto operateat a suctionpressurethatvariesbetween2bar and4 bar. The 4K helium ioop providestheadditionalinventory necessaryto cool and fill the magnets,and to restorenormal operatingconditions. As thequenchedsectionis cooleddown, helium ventsfrom the coidmassthroughthequenchvalveinto the20-K line until it reachesnormaloperatingtemperatures.The remainderof 5 megajoulesper half-cell of energy is removedfrom the cold massduring this recoveryperiod.
82
Excessinventory that cannotbe reliquefied goes to the warm storage. When thesingle-phasereturnflow is insufficientdue to depletionduring the recoveryperiod, liquidfrom thedewar is used to aid subcoolingin the surfaceprecooler. The plant is able toabsorbthe 5megajoulesreleasedby onehalf-cell in approximately30 minutes. During aquenchtheamountof energyreleasedby a half-cell in the HEB ring is lessthan theamountof energyreleasedby a half-cell in thecollider arcs. The amountof energystoredin these
half-cells differs, due mainly to differencesin length. The half-cell of the HEB is only32.5 m long comparedwith 90 m in thecollider arcs.
Special modes
Single ring operation Figure 9.1-4
When oneof thecollider rings is down for a long period of time, it maybe desirableto
operatethe secondring for beamstudies. The downedring may be warm or cold. Theinteraction regions wherethe two parallelcold massesare packagedinto one cryostatrequirespecial treatment. Operationof a single ring in the collider is similar to theoperationof theHEB ring particularly with regardto the 20K shield.
Maximum capacity modes
In maximum capacity mode, all compressorsand expandersare running except for
redundantor spareequipment. Oneexceptionis themaximum20K mode,when all of theequipmentmay not be requiredseebelow. When warm gas is to be liquefied fromexternaldelivery, therefrigeratoroperatesin maximumliquefactionmode. Whencold gasmustbe processedduring externalliquid delivery, therefrigeratoroperatesin maximumrefrigerationmode. To maintain the systemat 20 K or slightly colder therefrigeratoroperatesin maximum20 K refrigerationmode.
Maximum capacitymodesarelistedas-follows;
a. Maximum liquefaction modefor full 100%liquefaction capacity. Theplant will liquefy warm gasfrom storage.
b. Maximum refrigeration mode for full refrigeration capacity duringreliquefactionof vaporduring liquid delivery to thedewar.
c. Maximum 20K refrigerationmodefor maximum20K cooling deliveredtothesystem. Whentherings aremaintainedin cold storage,between10 Kand 30 K, the refrigeratormust be able to providecooling to the 20 Kshield for two sectorsapproximately20kW of cooling. Alternatingplantsmay be shutdown. The 20 K supply pressureis at least4 bar andthe supply temperatureis as low aspossible. Two compressorsmay besufficientfor this mode. Thesparecompressormaybe usedinsteadof the20 K compressorto operatethe 20K suction pressureto 1.05 bar.Operatingat a suctionpressurethis low also allows the systemto processboil-off from thedewar.

suchasduring repair,maintenance,or cold storageof thecollider rings at 80K or 20K,theplant runsat a minimumcapacity-i.e.,with a minimumset of compressorsonefirstand one secondstage-toprocessboil-off from the dewarand to keepthe 20 K shieldcold. One or moreexpandersmay be shutdown so that the refrigeratorcan run in thismode. In this minimum capacityarrangement,the plant must be able to operatein full*

10.1 SECTOR CLEANUP
initial commissioningof the collider requiresthe circWation of clean warm helium gasthrough themagnetstringsandassociatedequipmentto removecontaminants,particularlymoisture and residual gasesin the windings and piping. The 20K compressorwith
appropriatesuctionpressure2 to 4 barandoutlet atthesystemdesignpressureto provide200-400g/s of 300K helium flow is usedfor cleanup. The flow is routedthroughthehigh pressureside of coldbox heat exchangersHX-1A and HX-1B, and throughthe80Kbed. From there the flow is bypassed throughV-1351 to the mediumpressurecircuit of
HX-1A. The streamis warmedto room temperatureand is dischargedat high pressure
through valve V-i 362 to thecooldownsupply line. Thewarm clean gas is suppliedto themagnetsiring and to the varioushelium flow loops through the cooldownsupply line. Thereturn flow is routeddirectly to 20K compressor suction. Molecular sieveadsorberbeds

Initial Status
The cleanupprocessis performedprior to cooldownof thecollider. The whole systemiswarm, andthe linesare full of dry air. Beforethewarm circulation processis initiated thesystemis purged,evacuated,andchargedwith helium.
RcfrigerationPlant Operation
The 20K compressoris usedto provide200 to 400 Ws of 300K helium flow for cleanup,operatingat appropriatesuctionpressure2-4bar nominal and at the systemdischarge
pressure.The helium flows through the high pressureside of coidhox heatexchangersHX-1A and HX-1B, and through the 80K bed, and is bypassedto the mediumpressurecircuit of HX-1A via V-1351at theoperatingpressurefor warmupto room temperature.The high pressure300K helium is routedthroughvalvesV-1362, V-1462, and V-1506tothe main supplysingle-phasemain feed line to themagnetstrings. Thelow temperaturecoldboxis notoperated. Theboil-off from the dewargoesto the first stagecompressor.Ifnecessary,thecompressorsmay be operatedto processthis gas.
Thereare severalloops to be cleaned: themagnetstring, the single-phasereturn,thegashelium return, the 20 K lines, thehelium recoolers,thepower leads,etc. Thereturnflow hasseveralroutes:
a. The return flow is directed through the warm return header,throughcooldownvalves V-OO1; Figure 10.1-1 showsthe circulation processofthe magnetstrings and cm-rent leads,andreturnsto the dehydrationskidthroughvalveV-1324.
b. Thereturn flow is directedthroughtheOHe return, throughrecoolervalvesV-003; Figure 10.1-2 shows the cleanupprocessof the.magnetstring,single-phasereturn line, helium recoolers,and vapor return line, andreturnsto thedehydrationskid via valvesV-1421 andV-1323.
c. Thereturnflow is directedthroughthe20K feed and return lines, throughthequenchrelief valvesV-002 located in thespoolpiecesFigure 10.1-3showsthecleanupprocessof themagnetstring andthe single-phasereturnline, andreturnsto thedehydrationskid via valvesV-141 1 andV-1323.
d. The return flow is returnedthroughthe single-phasereturn line and viavalve V-1507 to thecompressorFig. 10.1-4.
Flows andoperation
A maximumflow rate of 100 g/s per string is availablefor cleanup, flow resistancelimitsthe flow through themagnetstring to a maximumof 40 gA The flow ratethrough thesystemvaries,dependingon thecleanuproutes.
90
Systemfinal status
Thestatusof the systemafter warm circulation is "WARM CLEAN." Thecold lines and
passagesare at 300K, and the quenchvalves, cooldown valves, and recooler controlvalvesare closed. The systemis clean and readyfor insulatingvacuumpumpdownandreadyfor cooldown.
Processtime
The entirevolume in the sectorhasto be circulatedatleastfive times. Thevolumesof the
piping and magnetflow channelsare listed in Tables6.1-1 and 6.1-2. The minumum
cleauptime is approximately20 minutesperioop.
10.2 SECTOR COOLDOWN
Cooldown of themagnetstrings is carried out in variousphases.Before any cooldownprocessesare initiated, the insulatingvacuumspaceand the beamtubemustbe pumped
down to the appropriatelevel of 1.3 x 10-2 Pa. The 80K liquid nitrogen shield lines are
cooleddownbeforeinitiation of helium cooldownof the magnets.The helium refrigerationsystemis designedfor a nominal supply of 400gls of
helium flow to themagnetstring for cooldownfrom 300K to 80 K. Thesupply pressures
andtemperaturesin variousphasesof cooldownare given in Table 10.2-1. Thesystemis
designedto enablethecontrol ofthecooldownfeed flow temperatureby mixing thewarm
andcold helium suppliesV-1362andV-1363. Someor all of theexpandersmaybe used
in various cooldown phases. During successivecooldown phases,the return flow isvalvedinto therefrigeratorreturn side atvarious temperatures.Thegoal is to controlthecooldownprocessof the different partsof the cryostatto minimize cooldown time andcooldowncost,andto preventexcessivethermalstresses.

The string cooldown processmay be startedafter the insulating vacuum has beensuccessfullypumpeddown a software interlock will inhibit the cooldown start-up ifvacuumconditionsare inadequate.
91
The cooldown of a string is performedin threemajor stepsfollowing cooldown ofthe80K shieldfrom 300K to 80K.
Step 1: Cooldown from 300K to 80K
Step 2: Cooldown from 80K to 20K
Step 3: Cooldown from 20K to 5K and fill
The cooldown of the 80 K shieldmay be performedsimultaneouslywith step1. If an
upsetoccursduring the first step of cooldown contaminationmay be released. The
expandersare not operatedbecausetheymay be damageddueto releaseof contamination
during an upsetcondition:
During eachof thestepsthe flows of thecryogensatdifferent temperaturesare routed
in different ways. Therewill be softwareinterlocks to preventdisorderin thecooldown
process.
Sector cooldown to 80K
Initial status
Collider initial statusis "WARM STANDBY." Thecollider equipmentis warm arid clean,
and the insulatingvacuumvesselis at a pressurelower than 1.3 x 10-2Pa.
Refrigerationplantoperation
A heliumflow rateof 400g/s at 80K is suppliedto themagnetstrings, 100g/s per string.
Liquid nitrogenfrom storageis suppliedto the80K shields,64 Vs per string for a total
flow rateof 256 g/s. Therequiredcapacityfor cooling the 400 Ws warm helium to 80K
is achievedby boiling 1125g/s of liquid nitrogen. The refrigerationplant requiresa
continuoussupply of 1125 g/s of liquid nitrogenfor thehelium systemand256g/sfor the
80K shield for a total of 4,972 kg/houror 119 tons/day 6 trucks/day.Only thewarm coldboxsystemis operatingduring sectorcooldownto 80K. Liquid
nitrogen is vaporizedand warmedup to 300 K by heatexchangewith thehelium streamcoming from thecompressorsystem. During cooldownfrom 300K to 80 K the pressuredrop is asmuch as 10 bar. Therefrigerationsystemis capableof supplying80 K helium at16 bar. Undernormaloperationthewarm returnheaderis pressurizedto 4 bar, and only
the 20 K compressoris requiredto providethe400 g/s ofcirculation needed. If the returnheadercannotbe pressurizedto 4bar, the systemmust be operatedat lower flow ratestopreventdamageto thedehydrationbed. Theflow exiting the 80K adsorberbedsis routedto thecooldown supply line throughV-1363 and to the single-phasemain feed line viacrossovervalve V-1462. Theflow bypassesthesurfaceprecoolerthroughvalve V-1508.If the precooler is still warm, it should be cooledto 80K by openingvalve V-i 514, withthe waim gasvented through V-1512. A flow of 100 Ws is directedto eachmagnetstring.
92
Flows and operation
Thefirst stepis to cool down the 20 K shield. This cooldownneedsto be carriedout at a
controlledrateto preventexcessivethermal stresseson theshield.The 20 K shield can becooledindependentlyto 80 K using eitherof the following two methods:
a. Usinghelium flows throughcrossovervalve V-1461, V-1508, and controlvalveV-3014.
b. While the quenchvalves are openedthe 20K shield may be cooledsimultaneouslyby 80 K helium flow from the single-phasefeed throughcontrol valve V-3001. The flow rateis controlled by V-3001 to preventexceesthermalstresseson the shield during thecooldown. Oncethe20 Kshieldis cold, the flow rate to the string is increasedto 100 g/s.
Thereare alsotwo possibleways to cool down the magnetstring.
a. Thefirst methodFig. 10.2-1is to cool down themagnetsin parallel bysupplying 80 K helium throughthe20 K lines asfollows: Everyhalf-cellhasa quenchvalve and every full cell a cooldown valve. During thisprocesseveryotherquenchvalveandeverycooldownvalvearekeptopen.The 80 K helium supplied to the 20 K shield lines flows through thequenchvalvesto themagnethalf-cell andthenthroughthe cooldownvalvesto the 300K warm returnheader.
b. The secondmethod Fig. 10.2-2 is to simultaneouslysupply the 80 Khelium at one end of the string to both the single-phasefeed and single-phasereturn lines.Thewarm flow is returnedthrough thecooldownvalvesto thewarm return header. Eachof therecoolers’valvesV-003 is keptopen,andthecooldownvalvesV-OO1 arealsoopened.A cooldownwavedevelopsandtravels alongthe string. Eachcooldownvalveis closedasthecooldownwaveprogressesalongthestring.
A small paTtof theflow may be diveneddirectly to the warm headerthroughthe
currentleadsandbypassleads.At this point, althoughall thecooldownvalvesarenow closed,partsof the system
may still be warm. The 80 K helium is thensuppliedthrough the single-phasefeed and
returnedat theend of the string through the single-phasereturnline. Therecoolervalvesarekeptopen. This flow schemeis maintaineduntil theremainingpartsof thesystemare
cooledto 80K.The cooldownsupply temperaturecan be controlled by mixing warm gas through
V-1351 and V-1362with cold gassuppliedfrom V-1363.
Systemfinal status
The statusof thesystemafter cooldown to 80K is "COLDMASS AT 80K." The 80 Kshield is refrigeratedby nitrogen at a nominal flow rate. Cooldown valves V-OO1,quenchvalvesV-002 andrecoolervalvesV-003 areclosed. All partsof thestring areat
93
80 K and at pressuresof 0.1 to 0.2 MPa, and the 20K shield is also at 80K. Valves
V-3004 and V-3014 are closed. No flow is requiredin the cold mass. The helium
inventoryin thecollider sectoris about83 kg.
Processtime
Thecooldownprocessfrom 300 Km 80K will takeapproximately22 days.
Sector coolciown to 20K
Initial status
Collider initial statusis "COOLDOWN AT 80." The80K shield, 20K shield and thecold
massof the four stringsareat80K. Liquid nitrogenflows in the80K lines.
Rqfrigerationplantoperation
The cooldown processfrom 80 K to 20 K is designedto be performed in one step
Fig. 10.2-3. However, if necessary,this cooldownmay be accomplishedin multiple
stepsby mixing 20 K helium with warmergas. High pressure15 K-20 K gasfrom V
1443 is fed throughthecooldown supply line to the main single-phasefeed line. The
magnetstring, the 20 K shield, the 4K return line, and the OHe return line arecooled
from 80 K to 20K during this process.
For 80K to 20K cooldowntheavailablecooling capacityis approximately50kW,
definedby theexpandercapacity. Helium at approximately15K at high pressurecan be
suppliedat the rateof 140 g from the high pressuretap throughvalve V-1443, located
below thethird expander.Thecold flow is suppliedto the single-phasefeedline through
valvesV-1462 and V-1501, to V-3001 and V-301 1 and to the single-phasereturn line
throughvalvesV-1503andV-3102 to valvesV-3002 and V-3012.
Thereturnflow to theplant is a combinationof theflows throughthequenchvalves,
through the 20K lines to valvesV- 1508, V-i 510, and V- 1411, and throughtherecoolers
and the vaporreturn line, throughV-3103, V-3104, and V-1421, This flow is returned
throughvalveV-i 321 to thefirst stagecompressors.
At theend of this processthenominal 20 K flow is established.
Flowsand operation
Nitrogen flows maintain the 80K shield at the nominal shield temperaturerange. The
availablehelium flow rateis about 140g/s. In the collider this flow is divided into four
streamsof 35 g/s each,andin theHEB this flow is divided into two streamsof 70 Ws each.Theflow ratesandpressurerangesfor this cooldownphasearegiven in Table 10.2-1.
Systemfinal status
The statusof thesystemaftercooldownto 20 K is "SYSTEM AT 20K." The 80K and20 K thermalshieldsarekeptat their nominal temperaturerangeby nitrogenandheliumflows. All helium valvesin the string-i.e., thecooldown V-i, the quenchV-2, the
94
recoolerlevel V-3 andleadcooling V-4 valvesare closed. No flow is necessaryin the
cold mass. Thehelium inventory in the collider sectoris approximately330kg.
Processtimes
Table 10.2-1 givestheestimatedcooldowntime andwave speedfor the variouscooldown
phases.
Sector cooldown to 5K and fill
initial status
Collider initial statusis "SYSTEM AT 20." The 80K shield and 20K shield are at the
nominal temperatureranges. Liquid nitrogenflows in the 80K lines, and 20 K helium
flows in the 20 K shieldlines. Thecold masstemperatureis in therangeof 20-25K.
Refrigerationplantoperation
Before startingthis processthe helium dewaris filled with liquid deliveredfrom external
sources.This is the final stageof cooldown,during which themagnetstring is cooledto4-5 K and filled. The refrigeratorsupplies 4 bar, 4.5 K flow through V-1502 and
throughthe single-phasefeed lines to V-3001 and V-301 I Fig. 10.2-4. Flow can besupplieddirectlyfrom thedewarvia valve V-1504Fig.1O.2-5or, if a pumpis available,flow can be suppliedto thesurfaceprecoolerthroughvalve V-1515Fig.1O.2-6. As thecooldownwavetravelsthrough thestring, inventoryaccumulatesbehindthe wave. As aresultthe returningflow rateis much lower thanthe supply flow rate3-5% of the supply
flow.During the final cooldown,therefrigeratorwill experiencean imbalancein flows and
will operatemainly in liquefactionmode. The coldboxflows arebalancedby additionalflow from thedewar; this flow is evaporatedin theprecooler. The20K vaporreturning
from thetunnelbypassestheheatexchangerV-3102 andis divertedthroughV-1507andreturnedto the coldboxheatexchangerstackvia V-1422. It is preferredthat the finalcooldownand fill not be madedirectly from thedewar,as this would resultin two-phaseflow to thestrings.
Flowsandoperation
Theflow ratesin the80K and 20 K shieldsarekeptat their nominal rates. About 500 Wsof 4.5 K, 4 bar helium from theprecoolervalveV-1502 is suppliedto thesingle-phasemain feedsupply line.
Systemfinal status
Collider statusafter cooldownto liquid temperaturesis "COLOMASS AT 4K." and thesystemis pressurizedto 3-4bar. The 20 K and 80 K shieldarerunning normally. About22000kg of helium inventory is presentin themagnetstrings whenthecooldownand fillprocessis completed.
95
Processtimes
At 500g/s theprocesstakesapproximately12-15hoursto complete.
Temperaturesettingandcontrol.
After cooldownto 4 K-5 K therecoolersare filled and their level control loops may be
activated. At this point thecold compressoris startedand the vaporreturnline pressuresare loweredto their nominalvalues. After all the operatingparametershavesettledto theirnominal values-in particular, when the operating temperaturesreach those inFigures7.3-1 or 7.3-2-thestatusof the ring is changedto "STANDBY COLD."
10.3 MAGNET CONDITIONING
Conditioning involves operatingthe string of magnetsat a reducedtemperatureandcycling
up the currentto a point abovethe nominaloperatingcurrentof thering. A separatecoldcompressorwill be mountedin serieswith theexisting cold compressoronto thehelium
cold compressorbox. This arrangementwill allow the temperatureof thehelium suppliedto any one of the four strings of magnetsto be reducedto 3.5K. One string will beconditionedat a time, while theother stringsarekept cold at 20K with only the 20 K
shield active or, if necessary,near5K if a neighboringsectorrefrigeratoris availabletohelp maintain the string temperature. The SRS will have sufficient capacityto handleconditioningof onestring at a time.
initial status
The refrigerationsystemsuppliesthe nominal flow ratesto the rings at the nominal 4 K
temperatureand4 bar pressure.Thehelium recoolingschemeis activated. The heatloadto the ring is only static no beam,no high current.
Systemoperaiion
The surfacerefrigerationsystemis operating in its nominal mode. The secondcoldcompressorlocated in the tunnel is operatedin serieswith the first cold compressortolower thevaporpressurein onestring.
Flows and operation
Thevaporpressureis loweredto 0.4bar andonly onestring is refrigerated.
System final status
The systemis backto nominal operatingconditions,"STANDBY COLD."
Processtimes
Thetimefor magnetconditioningwill vary, dependingon requirements.
96
10.4 SECTOR/STRING EMPTYING
Emptying the systemis required for two main purposes:
a. Warmupcycle for thedesorptioriof gasfrom the beam tube.
b. Warmup for maintenance.
The liquid inventory of the magnetsis to be transferredto the storagedewarson the
surface. High pressure20 K gas from the shield is allowed into one end of a magnetstring, pushing liquid out. The emptying processis controlled in order to maintainsupercriticalpressureduring this procedure.
Initial status:
Collider initial statusis "STANDBY COLD." Strings arecold at 4K and no flow in the
cold mass. The20 K shield and 80K shieldarerunning.
Refrigerationplantoperalion
Thelower temperatureloops including expandersmay be deactivated.The 20 K helium
ioop is operatingnominally.
Flowsand operation
By openingthe quenchvalvesin the magnetstring and lowering thepressurein the4K
lines, the 20 K helium is allowedinto themagnetcold masschannels.The supercritical4 K helium is pushedoutof themagnetstrings, displacedby the20K helium gas.
System final status
After emptying,thetemperaturein the magnetring is allowedto go up to 20K.
Process times
At a flow rate of 100 g/s in each string,it will takeapproximately12-15hoursto emptyallfour strings. About 22000kg of helium is removedfrom the sectorto the surfacedewars.
This emptyingprocessfor gasdesorptionis performedat regularintervals.
10.5 SECTOR WARMUP
For warmupto 300K, warm clean high pressuregasfrom the refrigeratoris suppliedtothe 4K supply line throughthecooldownsupply line Fig. 10.5-1. Magnetstressesaremanagedwith thesupply temperatureofthe warmupgascontrolledby mixing warm and80 K gas. One or more strings may be warmedup simultaneouslywhile theremainingstrings are kept cool by helium flow, either from the local refrigeratoror from theneighboringplants.
97
Initial status
Collider initial statusis "SYSTEM AT 20 K." Thermalshieldsareat nominal temperaturesand nominal flow rates. Thecold massis at 20K andat low pressure1-2bar.
Refrigerationplant operation
The string can be warmed up by supplyingwarm gasfrom therefrigerator. This requiresthediscontinuationof thecooling loops to theotherthreestrings. While one stringis beingwarmed the other strings are keptcold. The isolation valves betweensectorsare opened,allowing the other neighboringsectorsto provide cooling for theremainingstrings. Thesingle-phase feed and return lines areused in these warmup loops.
Thesupply temperatureof theflow for sectorwarmupcan be variedby mixing warmand cold 80 K gasif a smallertemperaturegradientmust be maintainedalong themagnets.
Warmpure high pressuregasis suppliedthroughcontrolvalve V-1362and via crossovervalve V-1462 into thesingle-phasemain feed line. Thesurfaceprecooleris bypassedbyopening bypassvalve V-i 508 and closing V-i 501 and V-I 502. An alternativeis topressurizethe warm returnheaderto at least2 bar in order to supply warm gas; in thiscase,thecold flow is returnedthrough the20 K linesvia thequenchvalves. This allows aparallelwarmupof the shorterlengthsof the string,decreasingthe warmuptime required.This also "softens"the warmup rate, thus reducingthe stressesin the magnetsduringwarmup seeFigure 10.5-2.
For long-term storageof the systemat nitrogen temperaturesthe 80K shieldsareoperatedatnominalconditionsandthe20K and 4 K flows may be disconnected.
Flows andoperation
Flow resistance limits the warm flow that can be circulated though the string. Thewarmupratewill vary dependingon theroutesusedfor thesupply andreturnflows. If alltheflow is suppliedthroughthesingle-phasefeed andexits alongthe20K line throughthequenchvalves, flow ratesfor an entire sectorwill vary from over 400 g/s at thestart ofthewarmupphaseto 40 g/s whenthewarmupwavereachestheendof the sector.
Excessinventoryfrom therings is storedon thesurfacein thegas tanks.
System final status
Thewarmupprocesscan be stoppedat different temperatureslevels; the temperaturelevelwill definethestatusof the system.
Process time
The time requiredto warm up an entiresectorvariesdepending on the routes usedduringwarmup and how much the warmup rateneedsto be controlled to managemechanicalstressesin themagnets.Warmuptakesabout22 daysif only 400g/s is used. Theparallelwarmupmethodallows for thefastestwarmupand shouldcutthe time by morethan half.
98
10.6 SECTION REPAIR
Therepairof a componentin a sectionrequiresthe isolationof the sectionfrom the rest ofthe ring. The flows throughthesectionmust be reroutedto keepthe rest of thesectorcold.To removeor repair a specific component,such as a magnetor a spool, requires thebreakingof thevacuumin a half-cell; this is doneat room temperature.A sectionin thecolliderrangesbetween360m to 1350 m and in the HEB from 1220 m to 1480m. SeeTables2.1-2 and2.2-2. Thesectionis thesmallestpart of thering that can be isolatedand
warmedup asa unit.
String emptying
For repairof a specific section,the entire string is emptied. This is doneby the same
proceduredescribedin Section 10.4.
Section isolation
All thecryogeniclines aredepressurizedto one atmosphere.Thecryogenicflows in the
neighboringsectionsarereconfiguredto keeptherestof thesystemcold-in particular,to
keepthenitrogenin the80K linesrunning. SeeFigure 10.6-1.
Section warmup Figures 10.6-2, 10.6-3, and 10.6-4
Thewarmupof a single sectionwithout warmupof theremainderof the strings, requiresan externalwarm helium circulation. Therearethreeoptionsfor warmupof a section.
a. Warmupusing low pressurehelium from the warm helium returnheaderrequiresa blower and heaters. The warmupratewill be limited by theblower’s head production. Warm gas from the warm return headeriscompressedby a blower, and the flow is split to the magnetcold masschannels,thesingle-phase.retumline, andtheOHereturnline. Thequench-valvescan be openedto allow flow into the20K line. Theflow exiting theotherend of thesectioncango to a commonheaderandbe heatedbeforeitis returnedto the warm return header. if the warm return headercan bepressurizedseebelow no blower will be requiredfor warmup.
b. Warmupwithout a blower, using helium from the 20 K line, requiresahelium streamfrom therefrigerationloop. Someflow from the20 K loopcan be usedfor this wannupprocess.The supply pressureis higherin thiscaseanda higher flow ratecan be achieved,and in turn a higher warmupratecan be achieved. The 20K flow is heatedanddeliveredto the single-phasesupply line and also deliveredto the single-phasereturn line. Therecooler valves areopenedto allow flow into the gas return line. Thequenchvalvecan be openedto allow flow into the20 K line. The cold gasexits at theend of the sectionand is collectedinto a commonheader,andheatedbeforeit is sentto the warmreturn header.
99
c. Warmupwithout a blower can alsobe accomplishedusing helium from thepressurizedwarm returnheader.Warmgasfrom the warm returnheaderissuppliedinto oneend of the sectionvia the cooldown valves. Thecold gasexits theotherend of the sectionthrough a quenchvalve into the20 K line.To preventdamageto the shields,care should be takentoward the end ofthe warmupsequenceto preventwarm gasentering the 20 K shield at anuncontrolledrate.
Section cleanup
To getcleangasfor removingcontaminationafterrepairs,someof the 20 K flow mustbeused. The samearrangementusedin b, above,for warmupof thesectioncan be usedforcleanup. Another option is to supply high purity helium from portablepressurizedgascylinders.
Section cooldown after magnet repair
The 80 K shield is cooleddown by allowing nitrogen into the section. Then the 20 Kshield is cooled by a controlledand moderate20 K flow. The cold mass is cooledbyopeningthequenchvalvesand allowing the20 K flow into the cold mass,and the warmgas is vented through the cooldown valves to the warm return header. When thetemperatureof the warm gasdropsbelow a setpointvalue thecooldownvalves and thequenchvalvesare closed. SeeFigure 10.6-5
Section cooldown to 5K and fillup
The entirestring mustbe cooleddown to 5 Kand filled oncetherepairedsectionis cooledto 20 K Forthis purpose,the sameprocessis usedasdefinedin Section10.2.

11. CRYOGENIC CONTROL SYSTEM
11.1 SECTOR REFRIGERATORCONTROL SYSTEM
The control systemfor the SRS is an integral part of the SSCmain cryogeniccontrol
systemMCCS. Theconceptfor theSSCcryogeniccontrol systemis underdevelopment
and thecurrentconceptfor the MCCS in termsof functionalitiesis describedbelow.Figures 11.1-1 and 11.1-2 show the various functionalities envisionedfor the
MCCS. Figure 11.1-1 showsthat theMCCS is divided into ten sectorrefrigerationcontrol
systems SRC. The SRC is located in the sector refrigerator site as shown inFigure- 11.1-2. Figure 11.1-2showsthat eachSRC is divided into a refrigeratorcontrol
system RCS and a tunnel control systemTCS. The RCS is dedicated to the sectorsurfacerefrigerator system,but it is an integralpartoftheSRC andtheMCCS.
The SSCmachinewill be operatedfrom a main acceleratorcontrolroom MACR.
The SSCcryogenic systemswill normally be remotelyoperatedfrom a main cryogenics
control room MCCR, and from sector cryogenicscontrol rooms SRC forcommissioning,maintenance,etc.
The actualreal-timecontrolof theequipmentwill be performedat theRCS andTCSlevels,with distributedprocessorscontrollersandcommunicationmodulesto remote110andto thecryogenicspeer-to-peernetwork Fig. 1 L1-2. Thesecontrollerswill be locatedabovegroundat the SCCSlocationin order to avoid exposureto thetunnelenvironment.Theonly control hardwareequipmentin thetunnelwill be remoteI/O, which will includeanalog-to-digitalanddigital-to-analogconversionmodules,specialI/O modulese.g.,fordiodetemperaturesensors,andcommunicationmodulesto remotecontrollers.
SRC functions such as supervisorycontrol, operatorinterface, and controllersoftwareconfigurationwill be performedin workstations;- -Theseworkstations contain
communicationmodulesto the peer-to-peernetworkandto theSSC global communicationnetwork,aswell asa databasewith all sectortag information.
Global control of the cryogenic systemwill be performedby the MCCS, whichincludes the functionality of the SRC workstation andaddsglobal supervisorycontrolanda communicationmodule to the office network seeFigure 11.1-1.
The SSC global communicationnetwork provides communicationbetween thedifferent systemse.g.,betweenthecryogenicsystemandthevacuumsystem,andaccessto a specific setof cryogenictagsandaddressesneededfor global machineoperationfromthe MACS. This networkis being developedby theURA/SSCL controlsgroupandit isbasedon Time Division Multiplex TDM technology.
The cryogenicspeer-to-peernetwork provides: communicationamong SCCScontrollerswithin a sectorand betweensectors;accessto all cryogenicI/O points; tagsforpurposesofcryogenicsystemoperation,maintenance,troubleshooting,andmodifications;andfor uploadanddownloadof SCCScontrollersoftware.
117
The field busprovidescommunicationbetweenremoteI/O andSCCScontrollersseeFigure 11.1-2. In order to guaranteea smoothintegrationwithin the SSCLenvironment,opensystemsarepreferredfor the MCCS. Thecriteria used for judging the opennessof asystemare:
* The systemadheresto a well-defined specificationavailableto the industry.
* Thespecificationis met by productsfrom severalindependentcompanies.
* Thespecificationis not controlledby a small groupof companies.
* The specificationis not tied to a specific machinearchitectureor technology.
Formal standardsare essentialasa basisfor open systems. URA will adhereto
internationalstandardsin the following areas:
a. Computercommunicationse.g., Manufacturing Automation Protocol[MAP], andManufacturingMessageSpecification[MMS]
b. Databasemanagementsystemse.g.,StructuredQueryLanguage[SQL]
c. Operatingsystemse.g.,UNIX
d. User interfacese.g.,X Windows
e. Controllerprogramminglanguagee.g.,WC 848
