1.8 K Refrigeration Units for the LHC: Performance Assessment of Pre-series Units
/ Claudet, S ; Ferlin, G ; Millet, F ; Tavian, L
The cooling capacity below 2 K for the superconducting magnets of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN, will be provided by eight refrigeration units of 2400 W at 1.8 K, each of them coupled to a 4.5 K refrigerator. The two selected vendors have proposed cycles based on centrifugal cold compressors combined with volumetric screw compressors with sub-atmospheric suction, as previously identified by CERN as “reference cycle”.

Experience with the String2 Cryogenic Instrumentation and Control System
/ Gomes, P ; Balle, C ; Blanco-Viñuela, E ; Casas-Cubillos, J ; Pelletier, S ; Rodríguez, M A ; Serio, L ; Suraci, A ; Vauthier, N
String2 was a 120 m full-scale model of a regular cell of the LHC accelerator arc. It was composed of eight superconducting main magnets, fed by a separate cryogenic distribution line (QRL); an electrical feed box (DFB) which supported the superconducting current leads that powered the magnets [1].

Cryogenic Infrastructure for Testing of LHC Series Superconducting Magnets
/ Axensalva, J ; Benda, V ; Herblin, L ; Lamboy, J P ; Tovar-Gonzalez, A ; Vuillerme, B
The ~1800 superconducting magnets for the LHC machine shall be entirely tested at reception before their installation in the tunnel. For this purpose and in order to reach the reliability and efficiency at the nominal load required for an industrial operation for several years, we have gradually upgraded and retrofitted the cryogenic facilities installed in the early nineties for the testing at CERN of prototypes and preseries magnets.

Numerical Study of the Final Cooldown from 4.5 K to 1.9 K of the Large Hadron Collider
/ Liu, L ; Riddone, G ; Tavian, L
To simulate and analyze the final cooldown process of a LHC standard cell (106.9 m length) including the filling operation at 4.5 K and the cooldown from 4.5 K to 1.9 K, a mathematical model is proposed and validated by experimental data. In this model, the mass equations for liquid and vapor, the momentum equation for liquid and the general equation for mixed flow are taken into account for the different filling and cooldown phases.

Flow and Thermo-mechanical Analysis of the LHC Sector Helium Relief System
/ Chorowski, M ; Fydrych, J ; Riddone, G
A simultaneous resistive transition of a LHC magnet sector, which may occasionally occur, will cause rapid helium outflow from magnet cryostats to a special relief system composed of long pipes, buffer volumes and accessories. The paper presents some safety and operational aspects of this system. [...]

The Applicability of Ultrasonic Oxygen Deficiency Hazard Detectors in the LHC Accelerator Tunnel
/ Brodzinski, R L ; Chorowski, M ; Gizicki, W ; Ostropolski, W ; Riddone, G
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), will contain about 96 tonnes of high-density helium, mostly located in the underground components of the LHC machine. Some of potential LHC cryogenic system failures might be followed by helium discharge to the tunnel and potential decrease of the oxygen concentration below the safety level of 18% cannot be excluded.

Conceptual design of the Cryogenic Electrical Feedboxes and the Superconducting Links of LHC
/ Goiffon, T ; Lyngaa, J ; Métral, L ; Perin, A ; Trilhe, P ; Van Weelderen, R
Powering the superconducting magnets of the LHC arcs and long straight sections is performed with more than 1000 electrical terminals supplying currents ranging from 120 A to 13’000 A and distributed in 44 cryogenic electrical feedboxes (DFB). Where space in the LHC tunnel is sufficient, the magnets are powered by locally installed cryogenic electrical feedboxes. [...]

Measurement of the Thermal Properties of Prototype Lambda Plates for the LHC
/ Marie, R ; Métral, L ; Perin, A ; Rieubland, Jean Michel
In order to power the LHC superconducting magnets, thousands of busbars will be routed from electrical feedboxes containing saturated helium at 4.5 K to magnets operating in pressurized superfluid helium at 1.9 K. Between those two volumes, the busbars will pass through special feedthroughs also called lambdaplates. [...]

Heat Transfer Enhancement of He II Co-current Two-phase Flow in The Presence of Atomisation
/ Rousset, B ; Thibault, P ; Perraud, S ; Puech, L ; Wolf, P E ; Van Weelderen, R
Previous experiments performed on HeII co-current two-phase flow at CEA Grenoble have shown the existence of a transition from stratified two-phase flow to droplet mist flow at high vapour velocities. The realisation of a new refrigerator/liquefier able to produce up to 20 g/s of single phase superfluid helium at 1.8 K (instead of 7 g/s previously) was achieved. [...]
