Status of Cryogenics at point 4 following the power cut L. Tavian 20 August 2011

The issue Problem with one cold compressor (CC2) on the pumping unit of P4, S4-5. Trips of the compressor during the pump- down – Overload on magnetic bearing (still to be investigated and confirmed) The cause of this trip is not yet identified (electronics, powering, cabling, mechanics…)

CC2 speed trend (Hz) Nominal speed 4 trips during pump-down Electrical power cut

Normal action plan Reset – Remotely if process trip (PVSS action) – Locally if “assisted landing” – Locally with recalibration if “hard landing” Replace – Active magnetic bearing drive – Frequency drive and other electronics – Transformer with check of the cabling to the motor – CC cartridge

Electrical cabinet of a cold compressor Frequency drive Warner K4000 Transformer 400 V V Magnetic bearing drive

Cold compressor cartridge

Normal action plan Reset – Remotely if process trip – Locally if “assisted landing” – Locally with recalibration if “hard landing” Replace – Active magnetic drive – Frequency drive and other electronics – Transformer with check of the cabling to the motor – CC cartridge NOK then OK

Present situation now OK (25 mbar Cryo-start around 3 a.m.) Last intervention 1 trip

Future plan If the present run not successful  continue the normal action plan (Plan A): – Exchange the transformer (spare already in UX45) (~1 h interv.) – Exchange the CC cartridge: Warm-up of the cold box on Sunday nigth Exchange of cartridge on Monday morning (5-8 h) Cool-down of the cold box on Monday ( h) Validation test (2-3 h) Tuesday morning Pump-down to cryo-start (24 h) Remark: As the cause of the problem is not clearly identified the success of these interventions is not known

Other alternative (Plan B) Limit the maximum speed of this compressor below the trip threshold (260 Hz ?). – Need of the CERN expert on Linde CC PLC  not before Tuesday (8h intervention) Try to assess which pressure can be reached by pushing the other stages. – Difficult to assess as the cold compressors are limited by their control algorithms (black box). Personal remark: limited confidence in reaching stable cryo-maintain condition with this alternative

Other alternative (Plan C) Use redundancy with S3-4 cryoplant – Because of RF load at P4, not possible to implement the P8 and P6 configuration (one cryoplant on 2 sectors) – Because of RF at P4, not possible to implement the P2-P18 configuration (thermal shields on the S4-5 cryoplant and the rest (CM, BS, DFB, RF…) on the S3-4 cryoplant (low- load ex-LEP plant). – Implement another redundant scheme: Supply of the 1.9 K cooling loop via the S4-5 cryoplant Return of the pumping flow via the S3-4 cryoplant Consequences: – The S4-5 cryoplant will have and additional liquefaction duty of about 50 g/s (seems to be compatible with its capacity margin) – The S3-4 cryoplant will have an extra cold return flow (~50 g/s) at 20 K and will work as “economizer cycle”  turbine attenuation. Personal remark: The better alternative plan with nominal conditions until the next TS

Summary Continue the present pump-down  CS by 3 a.m. If trip again: change of the transformer If trip again: start plan C on Sunday morning – CS expected ~40 h after restart (but it is a new operation mode with possible surprises) Wait the next TS for cartridge exchange and/or further investigations.
