Description

Commissioning of the LCLS II cryogenic plant has been planned with respect to electrical and mechanical systems checkout, equipment cleanup, cool-down, and individual performance evaluation. This plant consists of warm and cold storage, helium compressors, 4.5 K and 2 K cold boxes, and all auxiliaries typical for helium refrigeration processes. The 2 K cold box, consisting of five cold compressors in series to produce the flow and pressures necessary for 2K operation , will be the last equipment installed and, along with an additional 10,000 L helium Dewar, will allow the entire plant to be commissioned as a single entity. The pre-commissioning stages, commissioning plan for 2 K cold box without connecting to the LCLS II LINAC, additional test equipment needed to simulate the loads, all process studies and associated controls are described herein.
