Beam induced power deposition results in heating of the ferrite yoke:
The MKI magnet is in vacuum: cooling of the ferrite yoke is mainly due to thermal radiation;
Thus the emissivity of the inside of the MKI tank greatly influences the ferrite yoke temperature, for a given power deposition.
Electro-polished MKI Tank
The tanks housing the MKI magnets are reused from the LEP accelerator: they were used for 300 kV electrostatic separators and thus were electro-polished  low-emissivity.
A method of measuring emissivity was required.

5. Summary of Expected Power Depositions in Ferrite Yoke
Courtesy: Hugo Day
> Curie Temperature
Post-LS1 the expected power deposition in the ferrite yoke, with 24 screen conductors, is ~55W/m (based on the worst-case measurement of 6 MKIs) --- i.e. similar to pre-LS1 deposition levels for “normal” (not MKI8D pre-TS3) MKIs.
Based on the above, the post-LS1 ferrite yoke temperatures are expected to be similar to (slightly less than) the pre-LS1 temperatures (except MKI8D pre-TS3, 2012): thus the ferrite yoke will be below the Curie temperature.
For the HL-LHC 25ns parameters assumed the expected power deposition in the ferrite yoke, with 24 screen conductors, is up to ~190W/m (based on the measurement of 6 MKIs) --- i.e. 20% greater than MKI8D pre-TS3.
Based on the above, if no additional cooling is achieved, the post-LS1 ferrite yoke temperatures are expected to be greater than MKI8D pre-TS3, 2012: thus the ferrite yoke will be pass the Curie temperature, limiting LH-LHC operation.

7. Emissivity measurements: tank heated externally to 65˚C
Procedure for measurement:
Measure inside of tank with temperature probe;
(2) Adjust emissivity of IR camera to give same temperature reading.
Could see our own thermal reflections – emissivities of ~0.6 to ~0.9 measured. Emissivity with 50˚C external was 0.7 to 0.75.
Actual emissivity probably ~0.15 !
This method of emissivity measurement provided unreliable results.

An infra-red camera and heat lamp did not give reliable measurement, e.g. due to concave surface of tank and high reflectivity.
A new method of measurement has been developed where 4 conductors, housed in a ceramic tube, are heated and the temperature of the tube is measured with both an IR camera and PT100 sensors:

9. MKI Tank: Treatment and Results
A sample SS flange, treated using ion-bombardment, had a post-treatment emissivity of 0.6 !
Thus MKI tanks were treated using the same method, and the emissivity measured before and after treatment:

10. MKI Tank: Confirmation of Tank Emissivity
Courtesy: M. Garlasche and Z. Sobiech
The emissivity of the tank greatly influences both the rate of heating and cooling of the ferrite yoke. Transient thermal simulations of an MKI have been carried out and predicted temperatures compared with measured temperatures during oven bake-out.
The predictions confirm the emissivity measured using the new setup.

Sticky tape to measure reference material

Method
Cover most of inside of tank with paper to reduce internal reflections;
Place sticky tape on inside the tank;
Heat up tank locally, from outside;
Use IR camera to measure temperature of sticky tape and adjacent tank (with “close-up” lens, down to 79mm distance) – beware of angle of camera w.r.t. tank surface!;
Measure reflected temperature in same area as sticky tape (crumpled Al foil);
Post-process with “FLIR Tools”: adjust emissivity value so that indicated temperature of tank, immediately next to the sticky tape, is equal to the indicated temperature of the stick tape.
Paper cover to reduce internal reflections
Future improvements: verify emissivity of tape; use tripod for IR camera.

13. Radiative cooling of ferrite – 21/01/2014
Conclusions
High emissivity (≥0.6) of the inside of the tank would provide acceptable radiative cooling of the tank:
Ion bombardment of an electropolished flange gave an emissivity of ~0.6;
Ion bombardment of the inside of the MKI tank, at ~380˚C, did not have any significantly influence on the emissivity;
Oxidation of stainless steel components at 900˚C increased emissivity to ~0.6.
BUT any coating (e.g. carbon) of the tank must be stable, not peel, and an electric field must not “pull-off” dust particles and must be of a reasonable thickness (see talk by Sune Jakobsen).
Emissivity of the inside of the tank is difficult to measure because of high reflectivity (low emissivity). New techniques have been developed to make the measurement:
With a heated ceramic tube whose temperature is measured and compared with analytical calculations and FEM predictions;
With an infra-red camera, external heating, and appropriate lining of the tank, e.g. with paper, to reduce the reflectivity of surfaces not being measured;
These results of these new techniques have been validated by comparing with transient thermal measurements, during an oven bake-out, and comparison with transient FEM predictions.
High Curie temperature ferrites are under consideration – but beware of high vacuum pressure at elevated temperatures!

18. Near-Field Effects Classical radiation regime
C.M. Hargreaves, “Electromagnetic proximity effects and their consequences for radiation shielding”, Fifth Cryogenic Engineering Conference.
Plot shows:
Red area: classical radiation regime, for spacing between black surfaces greater than one wavelength.
Blue area: energy transfer with both evanescent waves AND classical travelling waves. One can describe this phenomenon as infra-red tunnelling – which works well even between shiny surfaces where classical heat transfer by radiation would be very low (due to low emissivity).
There is a smooth transition between radiation and contact regimes – by applying mechanical pressure, size of the gap is simply reduced.

20. MKI Tank Pressure Versus Ferrite Measured Temperature
To limit pressure, due to out-gassing, to
5E-9 mbar “measured” temperature should be limited to ~150˚C (>150˚C actual)
Extrapolation of fitted trendline, during cool-down of ferrite yoke of MKI8D Oct. 2011, following a beam dump, gives:
1E-9 mbar at 100˚C measured;
2E-8 mbar at 200˚C measured;
7E-7 mbar at 315˚C measured
(note: at the end of a 72 hour, 315˚C, plateau, during MKI oven bake-out, the measured tank pressure is
~2E-5 mbar – hence these extrapolations may be optimistic!
A higher Curie temperature ferrite, combined with good cooling, would give headroom during HL-LHC operation.

Maximum value of Temp_Tube_Up of MKI8B, since May 1st, has been fairly consistent;
Maximum value of Temp_Tube_Up of MKI8D, since May 1st, has been fairly consistent, but is slightly lower for the new MKI8D (changed TS#3);
Maximum value of Temp_Tube_Up of MKI8C, until TS#3, was generally < 120˚C, with one excursion to ~150˚C on 27/08. Since TS#3 the temperature has approached 180˚C at times (but not always).

23. PT100’s new position, post-LS1
The MKIs upgraded during LS1 will have the “ferrite yoke PT100’s” moved from the end ground plate to the side-plates. Advantages include:
The PT100’s on the side plate will give a measurement temperature more representative of the ferrite yoke temperature.
Ferrite yoke PT100’s will be distant from the ferrite toroids and should thus not be directly influenced by a high temperature of the toroids.
