Figure 2.4.129: Flow scheme of three <strong>Super</strong>-FRS dipole units and one feedbox unit.<br />

The 4 K helium vessel and coil container in each magnet cryostat are protected from the pressure<br />

increase in case of possible quenches by their own safety relief valves. Two additional safety<br />

valves are necessary, one for the subcooler protection and the other for the 50 K shield circuit<br />

protection. When a quench happens in any magnet of one group, the flow control valve (FCV J-T)<br />

located at the upstream of the 4 K flow process will be shut off and the two pressure control valves<br />

(PCV) at the downstream will be completely opened as the active action of the quench protection<br />

logic control. The protection measure is expected to ease the pressure buildup in the helium vessels.<br />

Nevertheless, as a passive action of the quench protection the safety relief valve will be opened<br />

once its set pressure is exceeded by the pressure peak resulting from the rapid energy dump in the<br />

liquid helium.<br />

The 50 K to 80 K shield flow is connected in series for three dipole units in one group but in parallel<br />

with respect to the main transfer lines and to the other magnet groups. It is tuned in its flow<br />

rates by the flow control valve (light green) at the inlet and the on/off valve (DV) at the outlet.<br />

Therefore the cooldown / warmup / operation processes and commissioning/ maintenance / service<br />

/ repairing of each magnet group are independent. Non-return check valves (NV) are used to reduce<br />

the potential risk of the thermoacoustic oscillations and the induced large heat in-leaks. Warm<br />

valves and piping are necessary for the purging process and the cooling gas return of the current<br />

leads.<br />
