HeREF-2003: Helium Refrigeration Techniques

HeREF-2003 is a course in the framework of the 2002 Technical Training Programme, that will provide a complete introduction to Helium refrigeration, with a practical approach to theory, technology, maintenance and control of Helium refrigeration installations. Theoretical aspects and equations will be limited to a minimum.
HeREF-2003 targets an audience of technicians and operators of Helium refrigeration plants at CERN, as well as physicists and engineers needing an overview of current Helium refrigeration techniques. HeREF-2003 will address, among other, issues related to component technology, installation maintenance, process control and Helium purity. A commented visit to a couple of CERN Helium refrigeration or liquefaction plants will also take place.
Duration: 7 half days (4 mornings and 3 afternoons), 6-10 October, 2003
Cost per participant: 500.- CHF
Language: Bilingual English-French. The course support will be in English, the presentation will be made in French, with question and answer sessions in English and French.
Pre-requisites: Some knowledge of thermodynamics, or practical experience in the field of Helium refrigeration.
