Cryostat design for SSC quadrupole magnets

Conference ·
OSTI ID:45467
The baseline design of the SSC Collider Quadrupole Magnet (CQM) cryostat is complete. The cryostat is designed to minimize cost and maximize system reliability. Many components have already been procured. Material characterization and component tests for many of the parts have been completed or are ongoing. The first CQM cryostat will be assembled in September of 1993. This paper describes the cryostat design for the CQM developed at Babcock & Wilcox (B&W). The CQM cryostat operates at cryogenic temperatures with a very stringent heat load budget. The cryostat supports the cold mass within the cryostat and insulates the cold mass against heating by conduction, thermal radiation and residual gas conduction. A description of the major components highlighting the key design features is given. The tradeoff studies performed for each component are summarized. The results of a static thermal analysis of the cryostat are presented.
