The electric light bulb has been called the most important invention since man-made fire, and Oren Harari is famously quoted as saying that it “did not come about from continuous improvement of the candle”. The modern lightbulb is however the result of 140 years of innovative work and continuous improvements on Edison’s original device. In today’s world, we acknowledge the enormous potential...
Safety standards and best practices do exist in the field of cryogenics but, as in most domains, they are generally inserted in a few ‘envelope’ cases commonly used in the industry, whereas applicability to the particularity of research facilities are not fully tailored to its needs. The main objective in these cases is to find a harmonised approach, based on lessons learnt and scientific...
Kryolize is a novel software tool to a harmonized approch for sizing the minimum discharge area of safety devices for cryogenic installations. This talk will give an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes how a standard compliant software containing the latest results of research in the field of cryogenics at CERN can be developed. Starting from a collection of formulas the new software tool...
To avoid mistakes during the calculation, CEA/SBT has decided to write a software that take into account all the situations it is possible to encountered (subcritical state, supercritical state, …). The goal is to permit to the engineer in charge of a cryostat manufacturing to perform this calculation; he is the only person able to do the accidental analysis which is fundamental for the sizing...
