OSTI ID:406100
Supporting the world`s highest energy proton/antiproton collider in high energy physics research, the Fermilab Tevatron cryogenic system consists of a hybrid system of a Central Helium Liquefier feeding twenty-four 1 kW satellite refrigerators through a 6.5 km transfer line and supplying the liquid helium for the superconducting magnets of the accelerator and liquid nitrogen for the thermal shielding. Tevatron upgrades have been completed by 1996 and resulted in more than doubling the CHL liquefaction capacity, potential decrease of magnet operating temperatures from 4.9 K to 3.9 K and proven increase of Tevatron energy from 900 GeV to 990 GeV without losing operational stability.
