EP-DT Detector Technologies LS2 Activities for the ATLAS Gas Systems On behalf of the Gas Team CERN ATLAS Gas System Status Meeting 5 Oct 2018 1
Outline ATLAS Gas Systems - Maintenance and Operation - Standard Maintenance and Operation during LS2 - PLC replacement for all gas systems ATLAS Gas Systems - Upgrades and Consolidation - Upgrade projects for new systems: NSW and RPC - Consolidation projects Tentative planning of LS2 activities for ATLAS Gas Systems Beatrice Mandelli 2 5 Oct 2018
Standard maintenance for ATLAS Gas Systems Standard maintenance covered by the M&O work-package agreement - Several activities will require the STOP of the system - Activities which require stop of the system will be scheduled in parallel with other activities - They can be coordinated with the detector responsible - Some activities only possible during LS - Examples: PLC upgrades, modification on recirculation pump, etc. FSU Manpower: STAFF Manpower: System STOP: 35 weeks 52 weeks 3 weeks per system 21 weeks in total No additional funds needed Very similar for all LHC experiments Activity Purifier module maintenance Mixer module maintenance Distribution module maintenance Pump module maintenance Exhaust module maintenance Electrical maintenance PLC replacement + Software 2019 2020 T 1 T 2 T 3 T 4 T 1 T 2 T 3 T 4 P r e l i m i n a r y Analysis module maintenance General maintenance Beatrice Mandelli 3 5 Oct 2018
PLC replacement and software re-configuration - New generation of PLCs will be installed - Compulsory for all gas systems - They will be paid with gas M&O budget (one PLC for each gas system) - The change of PLCs will be a big (and critical) intervention for all gas systems - Electrical cabling to be re-done (electrical FTE and FSU allocated) - Mechanical modifications - Considerable software modification necessary: in collaboration with BE-ICS - 1 full FTE in gas team dedicated to software re-configuration and testing (16 weeks for ATLAS) - New software upgrades necessary for some gas systems - Example: upgrade of RPC gas system - They will be done during or after the change of PLC Beatrice Mandelli 4 5 Oct 2018
NSW - Necessary to modify distribution racks of MDT, TGC, CSC - Moving channels in different racks - Add new channels and flowmeters - Last update: supply 1 NSW (side C) - Activities discussed with ATLAS representatives - Formal agreement will be prepared by Gas Team soon - Reminder: re-routing of pipes under ATLAS responsibility Work package agreement to be prepared by Gas Team FTE (weeks) 9 FSU (kchf) 26 Material (kchf) 38 Activity FSU FTE System stop 2019 2020 (weeks) (weeks) (weeks) T 1 T 2 T 3 T 4 T 1 T 2 T 3 T 4 Distribution module MDT 5 3 4 Racks 61 & 71 modification for NSW. Move 2 channels from R61 & R71 to R68. Distribution module TGC 6 4 4 Racks modification 63 & 67 for NSW. Add new channels and flowmeters. Distribution module CSC 1.5 1.5 2 Racks 61 & 62 adaptation from CSC to MM for NSW. Flowcells calibration for new mixture Argon/CO2 93/7 (Old 80/20) Mixer module 0.5 0.5 0 New mass flow controllers or NSW. Beatrice Mandelli 5 5 Oct 2018
Interventions postponed to LS3 MDT/CSC - Distribution modification racks for NSW - Already agreed as not final NSW system TGC - Distribution modification racks for NSW - Already agreed as not final NSW system - Mixer: 2 nd evaporator - To allow higher flow - Nowadays max flow in the mixer is ~5000 l/h (TGC said is enough for Run 3) - Pump: adding 3 rd pump - To allow higher flow TGC mixer FSU (kchf) 25 Material (kchf) 27 TGC pump FSU (kchf) 9.5 Material (kchf) 37.5 Beatrice Mandelli 6 5 Oct 2018
RPC upgrade New volume Distribution: from 5 to 9 racks - Final racks allocation under discussion with TC - Piping under ATLAS responsibility - Gas channels will have to be moved Dummy chambers* - Pressure regulation reference should be moved to chamber pressure - Dummy chamber volume installation on chamber group level. E.Pastori Pressure regulation controlled in USA* - Add regulation valve in USA distribution racks - We ll also keep valve in UX - It will help in mitigating pressure fluctuation (one of suspected cause of leaks) Test will be done in Jan 2019 to validate UX to USA - If ok: new pipes from USA to distribution racks will have to be installed by ATLAS X5 racks Beatrice Mandelli 7 5 Oct 2018
RPC upgrade - Distribution racks from 5 to 9 - Moving channels in different racks - Add new channels and flowmeters - Additional interventions in gas system for leak mitigation to be confirmed after Jan 2019 test - Addition of 3 rd purifier module - Piping work on ATLAS responsibility (in UX and UX-USC) Work package agreement to be prepared by Gas Team FTE (weeks) 30 + 20* FSU (kchf) 73 + 40* Material (kchf) 268 + 57* Activity FSU FTE System stop 2019 2020 (weeks) (weeks) (weeks) T 1 T 2 T 3 T 4 T 1 T 2 T 3 T 4 Distribution module: 56.5 50 6-8 5 to 9 racks modification for BI project. Under discussion with RPC team. Predistribution => Distribution regulation valves move from UX to USA. Validation test January 2019 => Decision to be taken by the end of January. Pressure regulation reference should be moved to chamber pressure. Fake chamber volume installation on chamber group level. O2 analysis on distribution return lines. New analysis module in USA for RPC. (Soft./Electr.) - Distribution High/low flow migration => RPC system. Purifier module: 1 1 0 Preparation to use in run 3. Analysis module: 4 6 0.5 Analysis 2 (IR) integration in RPC system Beatrice Mandelli 8 5 Oct 2018
