Neural Networks for anomaly detection in CO2 cooling systems
by
During the long shut-down planned in the years 2026-2028 (LS3) the LHC accelerator and its experiments will undergo an important upgrade phase (referred to as “phase-2 upgrade”). One of the important upgrades foreseen is the complete substitution of the tracking detectors of ATLAS and CMS and the End-Cap Calorimeter of CMS for new silicon-based technology together with a new HGTD detector of the ATLAS experiment. For the new silicon detectors of the experiments the total power dissipation is expected to be several hundred kilowatts and the detectors must be operated at a temperature below -30 oC. For the thermal management of these detectors, a CO2 cooling system based on parallel operation of several modular units is foreseen.
In this seminar, a proposal for deployment of anomaly detection for the planned CO2 cooling systems will be presented. Participants will be introduced to basic concepts of neural networks and their applicability to anomaly detection in industrial systems.
