R. Rucinski, Fermilab Feb. 9, 2005 Status Summary Real assembly should start this week. Many miscellaneous parts ordered and most here. (o-rings, bolts, cryo grease, fittings, copper strips) Compressor for Cryo cooler wired up. Extending control cables. Run Cryo cooler only – week of 2/21? Cool cassettes – week of 2/28 or later? Ship in March
R. Rucinski, Fermilab Feb. 9, 2005 Pictures – Thermal links Thermal link fabrication problems have a solution – Copper here. Solder on order. Delivered parts cleaned up for re-use. –Using 30 sheets of 0.005” thick copper at each link. –Polyimide (Kapton) 0.003” as solder mask –Calculate Temp drop 1.0 K at 65 K, & 0.1 K at 8 K station –Calculate 20 lbf, 90 Newtons force to flex
