Single-phase helium recooling in a Tevatron spool piece
Plans call for upgrading existing Tevatron spool pieces by adding a single-phase to two-phase heat exchanger or recooler. This will enhance the single-phase to two-phase heat transfer and, along with other upgrades, allow for higher energy beam in the upcoming run. The performance of the heat exchanger was predicted numerically using a multi-node finite difference model. One Tevatron spool piece was modified to incorporate the recooler. Performance tests were conducted on this modified spool at the Magnet Test Facility within Technical Division in March and April 1999. The present paper reviews the design of the Tevatron spool recooler. The discussion includes: a technical description of a Tevatron spool; the heat exchanger mathematical model; design criteria and constraints; fabrication and assembly procedure; tests and performance analysis.
