Week 02 - MCBRD IHEP Follow up meeting
Presents : Yingzhe (IHEP), A Foussat , (CERN)
Excused: Xu.G, G. Kirby, H.Felice, E Todesco
Minutes meeting and actions item list :
- Status of coils training test:
- CB04 and CB06 apertures finally reached respectively 518 and 523 A after about 200 total number of quenches. These will be shipped to Bama to be assembled in MCBRD Magnet 002 from next week.
- CB05 and CB07 are shipped to IHEP to continue training test ( 371 A on CB05)
- The high voltage test was performed on CB07 and shown limit breakdown voltage at 1.8 kV. A check will be done with MIT 525 tester device at IHEP. Care should be taken to limit trip current and damage of insulation
- Review meeting of VPI and wet winding processes is scheduled on next Thursday 20th at 10:00 am as proposed by IHEP. CERN will invite an internal expert.
- IHEP presented an impregnation trial on a 0.5m long coil model which is wound by a modified procedure using a first wet winding without curing combined with a final curing. The details shall be discussed at the review as it was pointed out by AF that the use of complete VPI with dry winding should be considered as a simplification.
- The items of the Agenda that CERN would like to discuss was presented by AF and IHEP will return an agenda considering those points:
- Review of past VPI trials, wet winding process description ( prototype, production coils)
- Purging and outgassing of coils. Outgassing Temperature profile and time of the vacuum chamber, coil
- Sealing process, design upgrade confirmation
- Applied T,P in VPI cycles
- Use of T,P sensor in control diagram
- Dimensions of impregnation gap channels ( gaps and GF / kapton layers thickness between formers, to ext tube), , compaction of GF layer on each CCT produced, confirmation of the VPI bench layout baseline
- Test of VPI process in short samples, (Inspection destructive Test) , VPI trial plan, post VPI diagnostics ( ND tests)
Actions items:
- IHEP to send the agenda of review meeting on CCT VPI and wet winding processes
