Cryogenic Facilities at 1.9 K for the Reception of the Superconducting Wires and Cables of the LHC Dipoles Magnets

CERN's LHC project has moved to an implementation phase. The fabrication of 1600 high-field superconducting magnets operating at 1.9 K will require about 6400 km of Nb-Ti cables. A cryogenic test facility has therefore been set up in order, on the one hand, to verify the quality of individual w...

description CERN's LHC project has moved to an implementation phase. The fabrication of 1600 high-field superconducting magnets operating at 1.9 K will require about 6400 km of Nb-Ti cables. A cryogenic test facility has therefore been set up in order, on the one hand, to verify the quality of individual wires and, on the other hand, to control the critical current of the assembled cables. The facility is composed of a helium liquefier, a transfer line, a dewar and pumps. The paper describes the fully automatic operation of this installation and the different test cycles applied to these wires and cables.
