Monitoring Helium Cryogen Usage with iFix Software at IB1 Test Facility
- New Mexico U.; Fermilab
At the IB1 facility of the Applied Physics and Superconducting Technology Directorate within the Cryogenic Division at Fermilab, Liquid Helium is essential to the testing activities. The test stands require large amounts of Helium to test the thermal and superconducting cavities and magnets. The Liquid Helium that enters the test stand is monitored through a series of valves and controls to determine the start and stop for monitoring time. There are 3 phases of cryogen usage that must be considered for each stand, cooldown, warming and overnight mode. With a new system in place, cold hour tracking will be more objective and precise within each test stand ensuring better calculations for User s fees which are charged to various groups that employ the facility and aid replenishment of Helium and continual operation at IB1.
