Description
CERN operates an extensive park of cryogenic refrigeration and distribution systems and CERN is about to terminate an extremely demanding project with the putting into service of the LHC. There is not only a large variety of cryogenic systems, but there are also many particularities due to the installation conditions comprising surface and underground locations. Due to the often quite exceptional conditions safety plays an important role in design, construction and operation. As a matter of fact CERN can today present for both, the operational installations as well as the commissioned installations, an enviable safety record.
This paper shall recall the main safety considerations for the cryogenic installations and it shall review the incidents linked to cryogenic installations that have occurred during the years of the LHC construction as well as the lessons learned from these incidents.
