Cryogenic Effort Is On-going within Three Different Areas
Support of Solenoid Move to MTA
Overall Refrigerator and Compressor Complex
Support of Continued Future Testing of KEK and Forced Flow Absorber Work
Cryogenic Effort #1Support of Solenoid Move to MTA
Mechanical effort underway…
Piping installed for helium and nitrogen vents
Helium transfer line taken from Lab G and modified to make more optimal use of helium
Working with Al Moretti to understand transfer line positioning and
shielding requirements
Electrical effort underway…
Layout of cable runs, instrumentation on-going
Implementing Class 1, Division 2 requirements into installation
Relay rack installed and wired at MTA Using PLC and Internet Rack Monitor
…ability to monitor all solenoid cryogenics from ACNET

Cryogenic Effort # 2
Overall Refrigerator and Compressor Complex
400 Hp Screw Compressors in Original Fermilab PS4 Site
Present Status
Completed Mechanical Piping Drawing Mid-December 2004
Fermilab Contracts sending out Bid Requests This Week
Bids Required Back by February 28th, 2005
Bottom Line on Refrigerator Complex
In March or Early April we anticipate the beginning of piping install…90 day contract
anticipated
Following contractor work: 3-4 month controls installation
Refrigerators and Compressors could be fully operational by Oct 2005
Transfer Line Connection from Refrigerator Hall
Farmed out to Fermilab Particle Physics Divison (PPD)
Goal for completion for installation stage is Oct 2005
Until this connection becomes fully functional, we will operate with dewar fed system
Cryogenic Effort #3 KEK and Forced Flow
In regards to KEK…
79 foot long transfer line for hydrogen test caused excess usage of helium as well as
instabilities…we will shorten transfer line and validate instrumentation…hope to incorporate
this into mechanical efforts of Solenoid
Need to consider KEK cryostat itself and desire to re-instrument…KEK needs to take lead in
this as well as resolve heater questions
In regards to Forced Flow Cryostat…
Original 3D model exists for Cryostat
Bates “Sample” Hydrogen Loop
Project Completion On-Hold …Lack of Engineering Priority
