EHN1 Cryogenic Integration Requirements 3

Cryogenics Design Status

• We have now starting working on the cryogenics design of the WA105 6x6x6 and DUNE Single Phase prototype.

• We have looked at potential failure modes (of the cryostat and cryogenic systems) to provide a preliminary feedback for the emergency ventilation in case of LAr spills.

• We are preparing a summary of our analysis with the mitigation strategies that we would like to implement to reduce the eventual risk for people.

• We have prepared a preliminary Process Flow Diagram (PFD) for the cryogenic systems that will serve both detectors.

Summary of preliminary safety analysis

• Safety of personnel is the number priority: evacuate the personnel should a ODH occur.

• Always guarantee two ways of egress.• During normal conditions, there will be no personnel working at the pit level,

they will all be working at the top.• Access to the pit level will be controlled.• Signs should be posted to notify personnel.• ODH alarms will be in place.• An emergency fan will automatically turn on and vent the vaporizing GAr

outside the building. Suction to be located near the bottom of the cryostat at about 1.5 m from the floor (exact location TBD).

• Based on the worst credible scenario that we have identified, the size of the fan is ~13,000 m3/hr.

Current Infrastructure needs for cryogenics (DRAFT)

• Several penetrations through the building to take the cryogens in and release the vents out.

• Platform around the perimeter of the cryostat at the top (in the back or along one side) for the equipment that needs to be in the vicinity of the detector (GAr condenser, LN2 phase separator, etc.).

Summary• We have performed a preliminary safety analysis and we are

writing a summary.• We are starting to look at cryogenic system design.
