Alexey Koveshnikov (TRIUMF)01/07/2015, 11:00CEC-02 - Large-Scale Systems, Facilities, and TestingContributed Oral PresentationThe Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL) is a major expansion of the Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) facility at TRIUMF. A key part of the ARIEL project is a 10 mA 50 MeV continuous-wave superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) electron linear accelerator (e-linac). The 1.3 GHz SRF cavities are operated at 2 K.

Peter Knudsen (Jefferson Lab)01/07/2015, 11:15CEC-01 - Large-Scale Refrigeration and LiquefactionContributed Oral PresentationThe new 4.5 K refrigerator system at the Jefferson Lab (JLab) Central Helium Liquefier (CHL-2) for the 12 GeV upgrade was commissioned in late spring of 2013, following the commissioning of the new compressor system, and has been supporting 12 GeV LINAC commissioning since that time. The six design modes were tested during commissioning, consisting of a maximum capacity condition, nominal...Go to contribution page

Matthew Howell (UT Battelle/ORNL)01/07/2015, 11:45CEC-01 - Large-Scale Refrigeration and LiquefactionContributed Oral PresentationThe helium cryogenic system at Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) provides cooling to 81 superconducting radio frequency cavities. During the first ten years of operation, much operational experience and lessons learned have been gained. The lessons learned include integrated system issues as well as component failures in the areas of mechanical, electrical and controls. Several single point...Go to contribution page

Matthew Howell (UT Battelle/ORNL)01/07/2015, 12:00CEC-01 - Large-Scale Refrigeration and LiquefactionContributed Oral PresentationThe Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linear accelerator consists of 81 superconducting radio frequency (SCRF) cavities cooled to 2.1K by a cryogenic refrigeration system. The 2.1 K cold box consists of four stages of cold compressors with LN2 cooled variable speed motors. Transitioning from 4K operation to 2.1K operation in the cryomodules involves pumping the cryomodules down from...Go to contribution page
