Fermilab Central Helium Liquefier Operations

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 29))

Abstract

The Central Helium Liquefier (CHL), in conjunction with 24 satellite refrigerators, supplies refrigeration for the Fermilab superconducting accelerator. Liquid from the CHL is transported in a six kilometer circular transfer line and each satellite withdraws the amount required to boost its refrigeration capacity to the necessary level. Unused liquid is presently returned to compressor suction through a 250 kW calorimeter-heater.

Operated by Universities Research Association, Inc. under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy.
