  2. Cooling of CMS Detectors

  3. CMS • C ompact M uon S olenoid • A general purpose detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. • One of 4 detection points around the LHC. • Acts like a camera (which detects photons) taking 3D “photographs” of particle collisions and recreating images of the collisions.

  5. • Detectors heat up because of energy released during detection and the operation of the electronic components. • In order to improve operation and prevent damage, it is necessary to transfer heat away from the components. • For performance and environmental reasons, CO2 has been chosen as the primary coolant. • The detector components are mounted on planks with CO2 cooling tubes embedded and then placed into the CMS. • It is necessary to keep the density and thickness of the planks low so that particles may continue to detectors which are farther away. • This poses certain design challenges. • Low density and thickness usually means lower strength, so a high strength material is needed. • Low density usually means poor heat transfer, so a material with exceptional heat transfer capability was needed. • Carbon fiber and carbon foam were chosen as the plank material because of their superior strength to density ratios and excellent heat transfer capabilities.

  6. Performance of CO 2 and Carbon Fiber / Foam Planks • Why are we testing? • To assure that components are able to stay within acceptable operating temperatures when • the system is operating under standard conditions. • the system is operating outside of standard operating conditions. • What parameters are we looking at? • Delta T, Delta P , CO 2 Phase Changes, Thermal Runaway, etc.

  13. HG Calorimeter Testing • Assisted Maral Alyari • Goal: Test the two phase CO2 cooling performance of FH cassette tubing with capillary at various angles around the beam pipe. • Stainless steel tubes are sandwiched between 4 layers of insulation foam. • CO2 temperature is monitored by RTDs placed on the tubing. • Voltage is applied to stainless steel tubing to mimic the heat load on the tubing. • Tubing acts as a heater. • The flow is monitored by a flowmeter placed at the inlet. • Two pressure transmitters are placed at the inlet and the outlet. • Attempted to cool various heat loads with minimum possible flow and lowest possible Δ P . • Data is analyzed by calibrating the RTD measurements to read the same temperature as the return CO 2 at 0 Watts.
