THERMOMAG 07 WS-SummaryRob van Weelderen November 29 th, 2007 General considerations (1) The subject is not new, but is taking a NEW importance for projects like FAIR, and the LHC upgrades (injectors & IR) Heat deposition modeling (E. Wildner/CERN, INFN, LARP) “need improved feedback from magnet designers, and thermal simulation criteria”) (IR-)Magnet structure cooling (R. van Weelderen/CERN, LARP) “values for 50 W/m up to 100 W/m are still in the constructible range, major limit at coil to bath thermal pathway” Fast ramp magnets for PS2, SPS+, FAIR (L. Bottura/CERN, M. Kausche/GSI, A. Kovalenko/JINR) “A reasonable internal heat load target per unit length for future superconducting ring accelerator magnets is in the range of 5 W/m to 10 W/m” “with hollow conductors 100 W/m is achievable”

R. van Weelderen, ThermoMag, Paris CLASSIFICATION OF HEAT EXTRACTION PATHS‏ Heat transfer ∆Tcoil: typically mK available down from 2.17 K max ∆Tcoil-freeA (radial)‏: typically mK available around K ∆TfreeA-bHX (longitudinal)‏: typically mK available around 1.98 K about 160 mK remains for heat transfer to cold source and up to cold compressors

R. van Weelderen, ThermoMag, Paris Specific Conductive Cross section (cm 2 /[W/m m 3/4] ])‏ Aspec is in the range of 0.3 to 1.1 cm 2 /[W/m m 3/4 ]

R. van Weelderen, ThermoMag, Paris CLASSIFICATION OF HEAT EXTRACTION PATHS‏ Example: NED dipole/Q1 LHC inner triplet upgrade, 100 W/m, up to 5 m longitudinal heat extraction length, Tbath~1.935 K, ∆T~85 mK, Aspec ~0.55: --> A~470 cm 2 to be made in the yoke Assuming 15% of the cold mass volume taken up by the coil, which is what needs to be condcuted our radially over ~ 0.05 m at Tbath~2.020 K, ∆T~65 mK, Aspec ~0.75: --> A~0.21 cm 2 to be provided in the collar & yoke laminations every 10 cm Conclusion: values are still in the “constructable” range

The tri-lemma of the optimum pulsed superconducting cable design ( PERITUS DELINEANDI OPTIMORUM DUCTORUM ) (courtesy of P. Bruzzone, ECOMAG-05) AC Loss Current Distribution Heat Balance Protection and Stability Pulsed Field Conductor … and cost ! Summary - 1/2 It is always beneficial to minimize AC loss, compatibly with protection, stability (transient heat balance) and current distribution

Summary - 2/2 The best compromise of AC loss, current distribution, heat transfer, and cost can only be found in conjunction with the specific needs of the accelerator system and magnet design A reasonable internal heat load target per unit length for future superconducting ring accelerator magnets is in the range of 5 W/m to 10 W/m Higher values are not economically interesting Lower values may bear too much complication in the cable design The above target may be largely exceeded, for specific applications and locations, and over short lengths

THERMOMAG 07 WS-SummaryRob van Weelderen November 29 th, 2007 General considerations (2) For Rutherford cables for a long time the only systematic experience on thermal transfer from cable to helium bath was in CEA, limited to 1.9 K, and some activity in KEK Now there is very recent activity at KEK, CERN and Wroclaw University of Technology Work on: Ceramic insulating schemes (CEA) Classical high-conductive schemes (RAL), Highly porous kapton wrapping schemes (CERN, WUT)

THERMOMAG 07 WS-SummaryRob van Weelderen November 29 th, 2007 General considerations (3) Activities in thermal modeling, needing experimental support and validation Heat and mass transfer through superfluid porous media (H. Allain/CEA, B. Baudouy/CEA) “working experiment, modeling reasonable but in every regime still issues to be resolved” General magnet cooling, steady state and transient (M. Chorowski/WUT, R. van Weelderen/CERN) “Based on ANSYS ICEM, CFX and dedicated Helium modules: Superfluid helium conduction module under development, code comparison with analytical & literature data has started” Supercritical Helium cooling modeling (FAIR) Modeling of quench levels by steady state beam loss heat load (D. Bocian/CERN, A. Siemko/CERN) “Equivalent resistance network model: Validation of model with magnets at 4.5 K within 20%, validation of model at 1.9 K not completed” CICC stability (J. L. Duchateau/CEA) “Stekly criterion not adequate for conductor design for fusion applications, the less copper, the higher the stability limit”

J.L Duchateau Thermomag November Association Euratom-CEA The Stekly criterion in question TF ITER conductor prototype manufactured by Nexans a non copper section A noncu, a copper section A cu and an helium section A He. In a project like ITER the optimum composition of the conductor components is calculated through the so- called design criteria. The recent review of the ITER project has led to some interrogation about the systematic use of the Stekly criterion to calculate the copper section of the ITER PF NbTi coils.

J.L Duchateau Thermomag November Association Euratom-CEA The Stekly criterion in question The Stekly criterion imposes that the copper section of the cable has to be adjusted such as  <1 to be in the so-called well-cooled region with  being the Stekly parameter: The Stekly criterion expresses that when the strands are taken at a temperature above T c by a disturbance, the CICC can be stable and can recover by evacuating the power generated in copper as it is in communication through heat transfer with an infinite bath whose temperature is at T0 if the criterion is respected. In practice in case of NbTi, the application of the Stekly criterion can lead to very high copper to non copper ratio increasing the price of conductor

J.L Duchateau Thermomag November Association Euratom-CEA Conclusion No, Stekly criterion is not adequate to design conductors for fusion application. Contrary to Stekly criterion, it has been demonstrated that, for a given composite allocation, the stability limit in energy for a disturbance (100 ms, long length of CICC) is a decreasing function of the copper content : The less copper, the highest the stability limit ! The particular role of  He and  comp is highlighted thanks to a simplified approach which demonstrates that the critical energy is essentially linked to the current sharing temperature in poor cooled regime. The crucial role of h is linked to these two parameters. Copper is necessary for intrinsic dynamic stability but also for short (1 ms) mechanical disturbances applied to small length of CICC (  1 cm).

THERMOMAG 07 WS-SummaryRob van Weelderen November 29 th, 2007 General considerations THERMOMAG is the first workshop dedicated to heat transfer in superconducting accelerator magnets not yet a fully synergic activity between teams the subject is not new, but is taking a NEW importance for projects like FAIR, and the LHC upgrades (injectors & IR) for Rutherford cables for a long time the only systematic experience on thermal transfer from cable to helium bath was in CEA, limited to 1.9 K, and some activity in KEK very recent activity at KEK, CERN and Wroclaw University of Tec activities in modeling, needing experimental support and validation activities in development of new insulation schemes/materials

THERMOMAG 07 WS-SummaryRob van Weelderen November 29 th, 2007 Thermal design criteria for accelerator magnets we believe the following principles can be used as guidelines introduce thermal design in early stage lattice magnets designed for < 10 W/m (includes ~5 for beam losses) to be economical in HeII ( mm aperture order) up to W/m, for short (up to ~ 40m) magnet strings; hard limit basically cable insulation insulation porosity dominates heat extraction from cable through insulation below 9T temperature margin may not be an argument for Nb 3 Sn in supercritical helium or two phase ( mm aperture order) with Rutherford cables 30 W/m, however further limited by cable insulation with hollow conductors 100 W/m are achievable for heat loads > 2 W/m look for alternatives in Nb 3 Sn, or NbTi CICC, or need of specific studies

THERMOMAG 07 WS-SummaryRob van Weelderen November 29 th, 2007 Desirable work critically review and organize heat transfer experience & data characterize heat exchange in supercritical He fundamental experiments in narrow channels/voids in all regimes investigate role of porosity in supercritical helium investigate applicability and benefits of high thermal conduction insulation especially in supercritical He continue the effort in development of insulation schemes/materials continue and consolidate the effort in modeling Strengthen communication beam loss calculation teams with magnet and thermal designers design experiments to validate models in the different regimes all this can be done ONLY by an efficient network of collaborations

THERMOMAG 07 WS-SummaryRob van Weelderen November 29 th, 2007 Proposed initiatives we define a “community list” web site on heat transfer with integrated database each laboratory writes a short report of on-going activities by Jan 31 st this is circulated within the “community list” with feedback for an organized work with tentative list of “deliverables” by Feb 28 th we agree on a proposal for “deliverables” we will then try, where applicable, to get formal agreement we issue a “status report” by June 30 th 2008 we meet again in autumn 2008 A dedicated coordinator could improve the effectiveness of the community
