Configuration for CDR 0.4
1. Major Changes in Configuration since the Lehman Review,  May 1999
2. Configuration for CDR 0.4, September 2000

 

1. Major Changes in Configuration since the Lehman Review in May 1999

  • Cut and cover construction technique has been employed where permitted by topography and geology.
  • Tunnel lengths have been shortened to conform to the new lattice and topology. The number of main linac sectors has been reduced from 92 to 44. The length of one sector has been increased from 225.2 to 450.5 meters. Beam delivery has been significantly shortened.
  • Intervals between access shafts have increased, reducing the number of shafts required. The number of utility shafts has also been reduced.
  • Sleeves have been created in the tunnel walls to house electronics (TEE's). These sleeves will be cooled by LCW.
  • A centralized cooling plant has been adopted, replacing the distributed cooling system.
  • Active cooling systems to control tunnel air temperature have been adopted in the damping rings only (Only beam delivery had active air cooling in the Lehman Review configuration.)
  • The temperature for the LCW cooling systems for the injectors, main linac, and beam delivery has been lowered to 82ºF from 113ºF.  The DLDS RF distribution system will be water cooled using LCW water at 82ºF.
  • Electro-magnet LCW cooling requirements have been substantially reduced by the use of permanent magnets.
  • For the non-RF sectors of the main linac, the LCW cooling system has been reduced in capacity to meet only the Phase I cooling requirements
  • Some power supplies will be air-cooled. (At the time of the Lehman Review, all power supplies were water-cooled.)
  • Main linac cooling substations have been doubled in capacity from 2.5/3.2 OA/FA to 5 MVA OA and the number of substations has been reduced from 92 to 22.
  • Main linac modulator substations have been doubled in capacity from 2.5/3.2 OA/FA to 5 MVA OA and the number of substations has been reduced from 46 to 22.
  • The secondary voltage in the main linac modulator substation has been changed from 480/277 volts, 3 phase, 60 hertz to 1300/750 volts, 3 phase, 60 hertz, with grounding disconnects and current limiting fault protection.
  • Nine 2200 volt, solid state DC converter-controllers have been added to each main linac modulator substation.
  • For the non-RF sectors of the main linac, the modulator portion of the equipment will not be installed for Phase I. The substation pad and enclosure will be sized to accommodate the addition of this equipment during the upgrade to 1 TeV.
