Operational experience and reliability of the cryogenic systems for the TRISTAN insertion quadrupole magnets
- KEK, National Lab. for High Energy Physics, Tsukuba, Ibaraki (Japan); and others
Four sets of helium cryogenic systems for the mini-beta insertion quadrupole magnets were installed near the interaction points of the TRISTAN main ring in 1990. Each system consists of a helium compressor, a cold box, a subcooler, transfer lines, two magnet-cryostats, two helium gas tanks and a liquid nitrogen storage tank, and its nominal cooling capacity is 140 W at 4.2 K + 25 L/h. The four systems are controlled automatically by a process control computer system. The first operation started in 1991 and by the middle of 1995, the total operating time for each system reached about 28,000 hours. In this paper the authors report the experience gathered during 28,000 x 4 operating hours in running four cryogenic systems together with the control system. Maintenance experience and statistics of failures of different components are also described.
