Construction of STF-Cryostat (1)

• • • Gas Return Pipe Cryostat Connection Bellows

Gas return pipes (GRP) are connected with the support posts which have the alignment targets.

The helium vessels for cavities are supported from the GRPs.

The surfaces for the connection are processed by a milling machine with the target precision of 0.05 mm.

• • • Support post Sliding cavity support

The four support posts for the STF-cryomodules have been delivered from INFN Milano on March 3 under the research collaboration between INFN and KEK.

The support post on the inlet side is fixed to the vacuum vessel, and the other one has a sliding function.

–

The position change of the sliding support post by thermal contraction is calculated to be 8.4 mm.

The cavity helium vessels are hold with sliding supports from the Gas Return Pipes.

–

The axial positions of the helium vessels are decided by the invar rods.

The SUS-Ti junction is being studied for the connection between the cooling channel pipes (SUS) and the helium vessels (Ti).

Samples of two types (Hot Isostatic Pressure, Friction Pressure Welding) have been manufactured. Mechanical strength tests have been completed.

–

For both methods, the mechanical strength at the junction was almost same as Ti at room temperature.

Helium leak test at 2 K (super-leak) will be performed next week.

R&D Studies of Cryostat Components (2)

Heat Loss Measurement



The heat losses of the components in the cryomodule will be estimated by the temperature profile and the FEM calculation.

–

Temperature sensors



2K~ 5K (input coupler, helium vessel etc) : Cernox temperature sensor (54 points)

 

4K ~ 300 K (support post, thermal radiation shield etc) : PtCo temperature sensor (44 points) > 80K : Copper-Constantan thermo-couple temperature sensor (58 points)



The heat loss of the system at the 2 K region will be measured by the attainable saturated pressure value of the He-II with the pump system.
