Shipping, Installation and Interfaces Steve Virostek Lawrence Berkeley National Lab RFCC Module Preliminary Design Review June 4, 2008
Topic Summary • Module shipping logistics • Delivery to RAL • Module re-assembly at RAL • Installation in MICE Hall • Module interfaces • Flanges and seals • Base mounting • RF feeds • Utility requirements Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Module Shipping Logistics • Cavities, couplers, coolers & pumps removed • Vacuum vessel/magnet mounted on short stand • Short stand also used during assembly • Coupling coil magnet shipped warm without cryocoolers in place • Cavities and couplers will be packaged separately to prevent damage • Vacuum vessel and cavities are to be blanked off and backfilled with N2 Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
RFCC Module Shipping Configuration Cryocoolers removed Cavities removed Couplers removed Vacuum pumps removed • Module short stand used for: • Initial module assembly • Shipping to RAL • Moving into MICE Hall Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Delivery to RAL • Module arrives on short stand without cavities, coolers or couplers installed • MICE Hall door height: 3360 mm • Module height on short stand: 2844 mm • Height is without cryocoolers installed • Roller dollies w/forklift used to move into hall ~100 mm tall Roller dollies Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
MICE Hall Access Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Re-assembly of Module at RAL • Unpack cavities, couplers, coolers, pumps • Operating stand placed on lateral tracks • Vacuum vessel/coupling coil is loaded onto operating stand for final assembly • Portable clean room erected around module • Cavities are installed using special lift fixture • Couplers and tuner actuators are installed after cavity is aligned and supported w/struts • Vacuum pumps are added to complete module • Final alignment performed before translation Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Re-assembly of Module at RAL Support stand in place on rail platform Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008

Re-assembly of Module at RAL RF couplers installed Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Installation in MICE Hall • Module assembled on lateral tracks • Module aligned and shimmed to correct height • Bellows on either end of module are pulled back into open position and O-ring in place • Moved into position w/rails for final alignment • Bellows are released and flanges are sealed • Bellows are locked out using bridging bolts • RF and utilities are connected to module Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Module Flange Connection End flange O-ring seal Formed bellows Flange through holes Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Flanges and Seals • Flanges designed to mate with AFC module • AFC flanges are flat w/no grooves or bellows • RFCC modules have bellows and O-ring grooves on flanges at either end • Bellows have >1 cm of total travel • Bellows are locked out after installation to provide a means of transmitting forces between modules Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
RFCC Bellows and Flange Bellows pull back bolts Elastomer or Helicoflex all-metal O-ring Clamping bolts MICE RF and Coupling Coil Module – Summary of the Design and Fabrication Plan Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008 Allan DeMello - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008 Page 26
Module Joint Sealing Issues • MICE module joints may need somewhat frequent disassembly (reconfiguring, maintenance, repair) • O-rings will provide the most reliable and cost effective (inexpensive and re-useable) solution • O-rings are acceptable for use in MICE environment • But, MICE should demonstrate all technologies for a future machine including the use of metal seals • The O-ring groove is design to accept a Helicoflex all-metal O-ring for demonstration purposes MICE RF and Coupling Coil Module – Summary of the Design and Fabrication Plan Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008 Allan DeMello - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008 Page 27
Module Base Mounting • Module base connection to rails identical to that used on the Spectrometer Solenoid • Six mounting plates are welded to the base of the module support stand • Precise geometry and location of the mounting plates to be coordinated w/RAL during CM21 • All magnetic loads are carried to the floor through the mounting plates Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Module Mounting Provision • Six mounting plates to be welded to the support stand base for installation on rails • Similar to spectrometer solenoid mounting scheme Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Cavity RF Feeds • Eight RF feeds/module use standard 4” RF coax • Cooling water for loop is required (<<1 lpm each) • Adapter on end of couplers isolates ceramic RF windows from forces during installation • Location of coax interface w.r.t. module center TBD RF feeds Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Module Utility Requirements • Cryomech Model PT-415 cryocoolers (2 or 4 each total) • 50 Hz AC: 10.5 kW @ 200/220 or 380/420 V, 3 phase • Cooling: minimum 12 lpm of water @ 80ºF max • 300 A Power Supplies – American Magnetics (2 ea total) • 50-60 Hz AC: 3.5 kW @ 208 V, 3, forced air cooled, rack mnt. • Vacuum: 10-3 torr @ startup thru a 25 mm flanged port • Cavity cooling water: ~8 lpm/per cavity • Power for periodic getter pump regeneration (TBD) • Liquid cryogens: LN2 and LHe for cooldown (qty TBD) • Instrumentation monitoring requirements • Various voltages, temperature, He level, heaters, pressure, vac. Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Cryocooler Compressor • Dimensions: • 61x58x97 (LxWxH, cm) • On ~7 cm wheels • Weight: • 223 kg • He flex line length: • 20 meters • Lifting eyes: • 4 ea on top (one/corner) • 6 meters min. to magnets Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
Summary • Module to be shipped w/sensitive components removed and packaged separately • Short shipping stand provides comfortable clearance through MICE Hall door • Module re-assembly at RAL will require a portable clean room • Installation in MICE Hall • Module interfaces to be finalized soon • Flanges and seals, base mounting, RF feeds • Utility requirements have been established Steve Virostek - Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - June 4, 2008
