Hazard Identification Hazard: Potential threat – People – Equipment – Environment Risk: Severity vs. Likelihood of occurrence (event) Minimization of Risk (mitigation): -Measures to minimize occurrence and potential consequences -Measures in case event happens consequences are minimized. 13
Hazards related to leaks Helium Supply Line (HP): – Cavity and Power coupler helium supply (4.5K, 3bar) Vapor Low-pressure Line (VLP): – Low pressure circuit to maintain cavities at 2K, 27 mbar to 1.43 bar) Thermal Shield (TS): – Supply and return lines of the shield circuit (40-50K, bar) Auxiliary Circuits/Media – Purge Line, Safety relief line, Helium guard. – Beam vacuum (BV) – Insulation vacuum (IV) – Ambient air (AIR) – Antenna Cooling water (Water) 14

Conclusions A hazard analysis focused on the cryomodule operation is being produced – Various types of hazards have been studied. – Most critical scenarios have been identified and related to sudden beam vacuum loss. Work is on-going, expected input from technical demonstrators tests will add valuable input. 16
Cryomodule Flow and Instrumentation 17
Pressure safety 18 Define the maximum allowable working pressure (PS) used for the design of the vessel and piping – The safety relief devices must be in place to prevent any event from pressurizing the vessel or piping above the MAWP. Evaluate all pressure sources and possible mass flow rates Size the vent line to the relief device – Temperature and pressure of flow stream – Evaluate pressure drop Size the relief device Size downstream ducting, in necessary
Pressure Equipment Directive 19 PS < 0,5bar The equipment is not on the scope of the 97/23/CE directive Article 3-3 The equipment must be designed and manufactured according to workmanlike way. No CE marking Category I The manufacturing must be more documented, especially with internal production control Pre-study: TUV- Nord: Legal QC requirements for pressure equipment Pre-study: TUV- Nord PS=1.04 bar V= 48 l

Helium Low pressure circuit 25 2 bursting disk at each tip + upstream safety relief valve 36° Heat exchanger The circuit is designed to reduce as low as possible the overpressure in case of beam vacuum failure by using a continuous DN100 diameter for the diphasic pipe, large curvatures and 2 DN100 bursting disks at each extremity. A 36° angle is set up for the tank nozzle in order to allow the insertion of the cavity string and the cooling circuit inside the spaceframe To valve box
