The size of the helium transfer lines can be determined from the calculated user heat loads and<br />

mass flows. Table 2.4.37 shows the diameters of two types of transfer lines, which will be used for<br />

the new facility as primary and secondary transfer lines.<br />

Table 2.4.37: Diameters of helium transfer lines.<br />

The basic helium distribution concept is that all helium coming from the refrigerator cold boxes is<br />

supplied via the transfer lines to a distribution box (cf. Figure 2.4.153) and then to the secondary<br />

transfer lines in the various tunnel sections.<br />

Figure 2.4.153: Flow sheet for a distribution box.<br />

The installation of the transfer lines and the connections to the feedboxes require large manual<br />

labour cost. The lines will be delivered in sections of about 12 m length, threaded into the tunnel<br />

and transported to their respective installation location. That location must provide the working<br />

space for welding, x-ray, pressure and leak testing and, as necessary, repairs.<br />

The FAIR system is installed in stages. The distribution system must be extended each time additional<br />

cryostats are installed. New sections may connect to sections already in operation. The<br />

connections of the helium and vacuum systems will be engineered in that way that implementation<br />

effort is minimized.<br />

The total length of the primary helium transfer lines (TL) is approximately 850 m. The primary<br />

helium transfer line will connect the refrigerators (CRYO1 and CRYO2) to three distribution boxes<br />

(DB1 to DB3) for local distribution to the separate users. Details of the distribution system and the<br />

positioning of the distribution boxes are given in Figure 2.4.154. The refrigerator, the primary<br />

transfer lines and the distribution boxes are located outside the radiation areas to simplify the<br />

installation and operating service. Inside the radiation areas space will be required for the penetrating<br />

secondary transfer lines and the individual user feedboxes. The lengths of the different<br />

transfer lines are listed in Table 2.4.38.<br />
