Description
CERN has the largest concentration in the world of high capacity helium cryoplants for the LHC and its experiments. Production and distribution systems have been designed to ensure a minimum service in case of a major failure of a sub-system. But the availability of cryoplants also relies on spare parts strategy, maintenance methods and capability to get the best plant follow-up and time to repair.
CERN is working together with industrial partners to ensure a high level of expertise in the field of maintenance, and to implement a comprehensive maintenance policy for its key assets. The core of this policy is based on a preventive maintenance plan managed and performed by the contractor during annual shut down. This plan is also completed with predictive and corrective maintenance during standard operation to provide adapted technical support.
The presentation will give a general overview of the maintenance policy and focus on benefits of predictive maintenance tools and indicators for screw compressors vibration analysis, and benefits of advanced portable devices for field work interconnected with Computerized Maintenance Management Software.
