325 MHz Spoke Cavity Prototype Cryomodule Project X Front-end Meeting Bob Webber November 3, 2010
Spoke Cryomodule Design Options: –Wait for full requirements specification –Proceed with cryo/mechanical design of spoke cavity cryomodule based on ‘best-guess’ (incomplete) requirements specifications up to the point of ‘decision to fabricate’ Option #1 has been followed during the past year Cryomodule Design Plan Up to This Time Page 2 Project X Front-end Meeting 11/3/10 – Bob Webber
Considerable effort of a strong team has gone into conceptual design of a spoke cavity cryostat based on: –800 mm cell length –SSR1 cavities operating CW at 2K –Current prototype cavity tuner design –SSR1 solenoids with integral x and y steering coils –New magnet power lead design –Inclusion of no beam instrumentation components By the end of the year, this conceptual work will be complete and the effort will be re-directed –To producing fabrication drawings, if this is the type of prototype cryomodule we decide to build –To SSR0 cryomodule conceptual design, if design inputs are provided –To completely different work, if next cryomodule tasks are not defined Present Situation Page 3 Project X Front-end Meeting 11/3/10 – Bob Webber

Tom Nicol - September 2, Moving forward from the conceptual design… Design tasks are being handled by a D/D design team led by Frank McConologue Incorporation of features to allow 2 K, CW operation – Large diameter pumping line – Add heat exchanger to each cryomodule – Large check valve (relief line) – Conduction cooled current leads similar to DESY and CERN designs, but at higher current Consolidate vacuum vessel access into one central region Build in solenoid adjustment mechanisms consistent with “few 10s of micron” positioning Compact the overall design to facilitate cavity-to-cavity spacing requirements between modules Revise existing input coupler design (if necessary) to handle higher heat loads during CW operation

Tom Nicol - September 2, Status Solid model continues to be refined Strongback design is nearly complete Support post design has been adapted from HINS counterpart Solenoid adjustment pedestal prototype design released Conduction cooled current lead design thermal analysis is nearly complete. Next step is to fabricate test sections to evaluate the effectiveness of thermal intercepts, potting procedure, insulation system, etc. Vacuum vessel design is in-process Thermal and magnetic shield designs are in-process Piping details need work, especially interface to pumping line, incorporation of check valve and heat exchanger

Conclusions up front Segmentation of the project X strings will probably be finer than the concepts which have been put forward so far due to –Liquid management with large specific heat loads –Steady state vapor velocities generated by high heat loads –4.5 K to 2 K heat exchanger sizing –Emergency venting with loss of vacuum Top-loading “bathtube” style vacuum vessel, while appropriate for the tall, thin 1/2-wave and 1/4-wave cavities, provides no advantages for our round SSR cryomodules. 650 MHz and 1.3 GHz cryomodule pipe sizes will be somewhat different from those envisioned for TESLA/ILC cryomodules due to the high CW heat loads and flow rates Project X CW Cryomodules, Tom Nicol, Tom Peterson 18
Cryomodule Pipe Sizing Criteria Heat transport from cavity to 2-phase pipe –1 Watt/sq.cm. is a conservative rule Two phase pipe size –5 meters/sec vapor “speed limit” over liquid –Not smaller than nozzle from helium vessel Gas return pipe (also serves as the support pipe) –Pressure drop < 10% of total pressure in normal operation –Support structure considerations Loss of vacuum venting P < cold MAWP at cavity –Path includes nozzle from helium vessel, 2-phase pipe, may include gas return pipe, and any external vent lines Project X CW Cryomodules, Tom Nicol, Tom Peterson 19
Segmentation Various degrees of possible segmentation –Total isolation and warm-up with adjacent cryomodule cold –Total separation of vacuum and cryogenic circuits but no provisions for maintaining segments cold which are adjacent to warm cryomodules Limits extent of control lengths and vacuum No end buffer from adjacent cold segment for vacuum let-up of warm segment. E.g., one must warm three segments to let up one. Segments downstream of warm one may not be held cold –Vacuum isolation and/or cryo circuit extent of various lengths, not all equal For example, liquid flow path shorter than thermal shield circuits Some valves distributed more finely than others. May have small “feed boxes” or valves in cryomodules for 2 K liquid supply. –Relief valve frequency -- low MAWP may force frequent vents Pipe sizes trade off with segmentation lengths Project X CW Cryomodules, Tom Nicol, Tom Peterson 20
325 MHz SSR assumptions 2.0 K helium cooling (~30 mbar) 3.2 W/cavity total heat (includes magnet heat) Includes one-time safety factor = 1.5 on heat/flow –So 3.2 W per cavity in analysis Cavity (cavity-solenoid) slot length = 0.8 m –For calculating pipe lengths as function of number of cavities Cavity cold MAWP = 2.5 bar Cavity surface area = 10,086 cm2 Single vapor/2-phase pipe Project X CW Cryomodules, Tom Nicol, Tom Peterson 21
Cryomodule segmentation, 325 MHz 2 CM of SSR1, Minimize of the inter-cryostate drift space 4 CM of SSR2, Provide drift space by missing cavity 1 CM of SSR0, 18 – 26 cavities L CM = m L CM =7.2m L CM =9.6 m From Nikolay Solyak Project-X, CW Linac (ICD-2+) Lattice Design, 16 Mar 2010 !

Air inflow heat flux limit Atmospheric air flowing into a vacuum via a round hole –~23 grams/sec per cm2 hole size Heat deposition by air condensing on cold surface –~470 J/g, so 10.8 kW per cm2 hole size Helium heat input per gram ejected for typical ( bar) pressures –~13 J/g Helium mass flow per air inlet area –~830 grams/sec helium per cm2 hole size Project X CW Cryomodules, Tom Nicol, Tom Peterson 25
For a 3-inch (76 mm) diameter opening, air flow becomes the limiting factor in heat deposition after a few cryomodules 26 3-inch port SSR1 Cryomodules Tom Peterson
325 MHz loss of vacuum venting 27 Just a note from our design effort. We would like for mechanical space reasons to use a 5-inch OD tube in our 325 MHz CM. The practical limit then is 8 cavities in series for emergency venting flow. SSR1 Cryomodules Tom Peterson
325 MHz 2-phase pipe conclusion Steady-state flow requirement is relatively low –4 cm ID is adequate to keep a low helium vapor velocity (< 5 m/sec) with over 20 cavities in series, such as one long SSR0 cryomodule (neglecting cross-section occupied by liquid, so we have to add to the diameter for a liquid level) Venting for loss of cavity vacuum determines 2-phase pipe size –A 3 inch air inlet hole implies roughly a 14 cm 2-phase pipe and a 19 cm vent line –Basically inch and 8 inch diameter, respectively Prototype SSR1 incorporates these pipe sizes even though they would not be required for this small cryomodule alone. 28 SSR1 Cryomodules Tom Peterson
325 MHz prototype
Conclusions This is just a first, quick look. Work is in progress. CW cryomodule piping requirements may be quite different from TESLA/ILC –325 MHz cryomodule 2-phase pipe sizes are overwhelmingly determined by venting requirements –650 MHz and 1.3 GHz CW liquid management lengths may be only one or a few cryomodules Thermal shield piping sizes may be like TTF Division of 325 MHz cryomodules into shorter sections for emergency venting looks necessary Division of CW 650 MHz and 1.3 GHz cryomodules into short strings for liquid management may be necessary 30 SSR1 Cryomodules Tom Peterson

I believe serious questions remain as to the feasibility of a SSR0 section design that meets both beam dynamics and mechanical requirements –Minimum achievable cell length –Mechanically required vs. beam dynamics allowed segmentation –Exacerbated by lack of information on acceptable tuner and beam instrumentation designs Independent of above concern, a full set of functional requirements for a prototype cryomodule is not yet specified –I feel some responsibility to write “functional requirements specification” –I need help defining those requirements Disconnects Page 32 Project X Front-end Meeting 11/3/10 – Bob Webber
How do we proceed to address the SSR0 dilemma? Do we proceed with SSR1 cryomodule design work independently of resolving SSR0 issues? What is proper allocation of resources between: –Resolving SSR0 section dilemma –Proceeding with prototype SSR1 cryomodule design to answer questions important for SSR1 and 2 sections in any case What is practical, useful schedule for beam/cryomodule test? Is beam test of prototype SSR1 cryomodule useful? Can/should we afford people, time, and money to build separate prototype modules for mechanical and alignment purposes and for beam test purposes?
