The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will collect 10 times more particles than the original Large Hydron Collider(LHC). This imposes a significant challenges for radiation tolerance and the speed of the detectors, especially for the calorimetry sensors. As part of its HL-LHC upgrade program, the CMS collaboration is designing a High Granularity Calorimeter to replace the existing endcap...
The Structural Heat Intercept, Insulation, and Vibration Evaluation Rig (SHIIVER) is designed to demonstrate the performance benefits of installing multilayer insulation (MLI) and structural vapor cooling onto a large hydrogen tank as a part of an upper stage. The intent of the 4 meter sub-scale demonstration is to design the MLI in a manner that its performance can be scaled to a full sized...
The performance of multilayer insulation systems (MLI) are often determined not by the bulk acreage insulation, but rather by the design details that allow the insulation to be attached to the hardware it is insulating. To help understand the impacts of multiple different types of seams on blanket performance, calorimeter testing was performed at Glenn Research Center. Seams investigated...
The long-term storage of cryogenic propellants on orbit under thermal and pressure control is a promising enabling technology for future space exploration. The combination of vapor cooled shield (VCS) and multilayer insulation (MLI) is considered as an effective passive thermal control method for such missions. To verify the modeling results on the thermal insulation performance by introducing...
The thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulation system is crucial for the design and operation of the cargo containment system (CCS) for LNG carriers. The boil off rate (BOR) of the carrier is the main evaluation criterion. In this paper, the geometrical arrangement of the new thermal insulation system applied to a new independent type B LNG mock up tank were proposed, designed...
