Content of the presentationContent of the presentation

Details for CMS and ATLAS of:• cooling down process• static heat load• dynamic heat load• fast discharge of the magnets• recovery after a fast dump

R. Pengo June 1st, 2007

Structure of the s/c magnetsStructure of the s/c magnets

CMS is composed of• a s/c solenoid, divided in 5 sectors

ATLAS is composed of• a s/c Central Solenoid (CS)• a Barrel Toroid (BT), formed by 8 s/c

race-track coils• 2 End Cap Toroids (ECT), each formed

by 8 s/c squared coils

R. Pengo June 1st, 2007

Cooling methods for CMS & ATLASCooling methods for CMS & ATLAS

CMS • The solenoid is indirectly cooled by LHe,

driven by thermosyphon movement (i.e. gravity driven)

ATLAS• The CS is indirectly cooled either by the

JT circuit of the Main Refrigerator (MR) or by thermosyphon movement

• Both BT and ECT’s coils are indirectly cooled by forced LHe flow produced by a 1.2 kg/s centrifugal pump

Cold Mass InventoryCold Mass Inventory

CMS total cold mass is 220 Tons (cylinder 6.6 m x 12.5 m)

ATLAS total cold mass is ca. 700 Tons• CS ca. 6 Tons (cylinder 2.5m x 5.3m)• BT (340 +20) Tons (8: 25 m x 5 m)• ECT’s (2 x 160) Tons (8: 5m x 5m)

DYNAMIC HEAT LOADDYNAMIC HEAT LOAD

Flux is proportional to Current:• Φ = L x I , V = -dΦ /dt = - L x dI/dt

– Voltage is induced when changing current– And energy is dissipated by the induced current on the

casing (~ autotransformer)

DYNAMIC HEAT LOADDYNAMIC HEAT LOAD

ATLAS: CS• Eddy current loss are around 25 Watts.

Measurement principle: compare consumption during ramp up at 6 A/s with previously measured

static losses by looking at the heater power in the control dewar which is reduced by 25 watts.

Furthermore “gas counting”.
