A.P.Colijn 1
CO2 Cooling for an ATLAS upgrade
• Plant requirements
• CO2: Properties
• CO2: Consequences of the properties
• CO2: From LHCb to ATLAS
(or the CO2 conspiracy)
A.P.Colijn 2
Requirements for ATLAS
1. Cool many distributed heat sources spread over large volumes
2. Low material in the detector3. Small temperature gradients over long distances4. Radiation hard5. Reliability
Will try to convince you that CO2 has it all!

Run conditions @ -25CC3F8 CO2
Pevaporation 1.7 bar 17 bar
ΔT for ΔP=+-0.1bar +1.4 C / -1.5C +0.2 C / -0.2 C
ΔT for ΔP=+-1.0bar +12 C / ~-20 C +1.8 C / -1.9 C
ΔH for evaporation 100 J/g 280 J/g
Flow for 100 W 1.0 g/sec 0.4 g/sec
Volume flow 0.6 cm3/sec 0.4 cm3/sec
Major difference for CO2 with respect to C3F8 cooling is the increase by a factor of 10 of the evaporation pressure for T=-25C.
A.P.Colijn 6
High Pressure
CO2 plant must be able to withstand about 100bar (C3F8 in ATLAS 20bar)
+ low temperature gradients (dP/P small because P is high)+ low tube diameter (because we can allow large dP)+ low tube thickness (because of low tube diameter)+ high tube flexibility (reduce mechanical stress)
- need more pipe at your heat sinks - higher pressure = higher tube thickness
Some b.o.e. calculations to follow to get some feeling for the numbers….
A.P.Colijn 7
Back-of-the-envelope-calculation
• What design consequences would it have to replace C3F8 with CO2?
• Calculations assume CuNi pipes, just as for SCT
• Cool approximately 100W / cooling loop
• Disclaimer: – calculations need more refinement– calculations must be supported by measurements

Pipe diameter: pressure drop

ΔP = pressure drop
Fm = mass flow
η = viscosity
R = pipe radius
L = pipe lenght
Pressure drop for a 1g/sec CO2 flow is of the order of 0.08 bar. Even with a factor 10 more flow temperature differences of a couple of degrees can be expected!
Assume a pipe diameter of 0.9mm, which is 1/4th of the C3F8 cooling pipes we have now on the SCT endcap

d = pipe diameter
T = pipe wall thickness
S = tensile strength
Pmax = max pressure
With the same pressure as in the C3F8 system we could reduce the pipe thickness by a factor four
A CO2 system has to withstand much higher pressure, so we have to multiply the pipe thickness again by a factor of six
T = 0.12 mm

Low diameter piping is much more flexible: goes like R5. So no “funny” bends needed in your structure to absorb mechanical stress.
Pipe flexibility: stress

Heat absorption
P = required cooling powerH = heat transfer coefficient in Wm-2K-1
(calculate/measure it… O(5000Wm-2K-1)d = pipe diameterΔT=change in temperature
To absorb 10W you would need 4 cm of large diameter CuNi pipe, versus 14 cm small diameter pipe if CO2 is used…….
Solutions R&D:- “snaky” cooling pipes at cooling contact- large contact area with module- or….

CO2: From LHCb to ATLAS
1. Carbon copy the LHCb plant– (by then) tested technology– “Cold” input lines– Relatively small return lines
2. Design single-stage freezer– “Warm” input lines
– Need oil-less CO2 compressor (!)
– Need relatively big return lines

NIKHEF CO2 effort
• Interest from NIKHEF ATLAS group– physicist (Fred Hartjes, Auke-Pieter Colijn, Els Koffeman)
– physicist/engineer (Bart Verlaat expertise…)
• LHCb cooling work finishes in near future
• We plan to setup CO2 test-bed at NIKHEF:– for NIKHEF detector R&D (Gossip)
– for ATLAS upgrade development: support back-of-envelope calculations of this talk with measurements
