Hazard Identification • Hazard: Potential threat – People – Equipment – Environment • Risk: Severity vs. Likelihood of occurrence (event) • Minimization of Risk (mitigation): - Measures to minimize occurrence and potential consequences - Measures in case event happens consequences are minimized. 13
Hazards related to leaks • Helium Supply Line (HP): – Cavity and Power coupler helium supply (4. 5 K, 3 bar) • Vapor Low-pressure Line (VLP): – Low pressure circuit to maintain cavities at 2 K, 27 mbar to 1. 43 bar) • Thermal Shield (TS): – Supply and return lines of the shield circuit (40 -50 K, 19 -19. 5 bar) • Auxiliary Circuits/Media – – – Purge Line, Safety relief line, Helium guard. Beam vacuum (BV) Insulation vacuum (IV) Ambient air (AIR) Antenna Cooling water (Water) 14
Go to Document • Preliminary Hazard Analysis based on 2013 study: ESS 0051423_to be updated_NE_Hazid V 3_Protocol_WS 6_cryomodules_20130212. docx • Present Study focused in cryomodule operation: Hazard Analysis. pdf 15
Conclusions • A hazard analysis focused on the cryomodule operation is being produced – Various types of hazards have been studied. – Most critical scenarios have been identified and related to sudden beam vacuum loss. • Work is on-going, expected input from technical demonstrators tests will add valuable input. 16
Cryomodule Flow and Instrumentation 17
Pressure safety • Define the maximum allowable working pressure (PS) used for the design of the vessel and piping – The safety relief devices must be in place to prevent any event from pressurizing the vessel or piping above the MAWP. • Evaluate all pressure sources and possible mass flow rates • Size the vent line to the relief device – Temperature and pressure of flow stream – Evaluate pressure drop • Size the relief device • Size downstream ducting, in necessary 18
Pressure Equipment Directive • Pre-study: TUV- Nord: Legal QC requirements for pressure equipment PS=1. 04 bar V= 48 l PS < 0, 5 bar The equipment is not on the scope of the 97/23/CE directive Article 3 -3 The equipment must be designed and manufactured according to workmanlike way. No CE marking Category I The manufacturing must be more documented, especially with internal production control 19
