Support/Mover System TestingThe Experiment:

• A Combination of Infrared Imaging and RTD Measurements were Used to Determine the Actual Undulator System Heating Effects from the Relay Rack Under Worst-Case Conditions where No Forced Air Flow is Present Along the Undulator.

• The LTT Set-Up at the APS was Used for the Experiments.

•A 400 Watt Heater Attached to Aluminum Channel Was Placed Inside of a Relay Rack and the Relay Rack was Placed in Position Under the Support/Mover System Girder.

• The 400 Watt Heater Was Turned On and Infrared Images Were Acquired every 1000 Seconds for a Total of 72 Hours (1200 Images).

• A Total of 12 RTD’s were Used to Monitor Various Points On and Around the Undulator System During the Heating and Cool Down Periods.

The Thermal Imaging Results:

• Images Were Acquired Every 100 Seconds

• Over a 72 Hour Period 1200 Images Were Acquired

• The Data Was Converted into a Movie

• Time versus Temperature was Evaluated at Several Points on the System

Support/Mover System TestingThe Final Image After 72 Hours of Relay Rack 400W Heat Dissipation:

• Steady-State on the Relay Rack Surface is Reached in Approximately 4 Hours• Variations Beyond Steady-State Track with Air Temperature Fluctuations • ≈ 7°C Temperature Rise in the Center of the Relay Rack• ≈ 2.6°C Temperature Rise on the Gusset Center• ≈ 1.4°C Temperature Rise on the Girder Top Above the Relay Rack• Unmeasurable Temperature Variation on the Undulator Top

0.39°C per Division

Conclusions:

• With 400 Watt Power Dissipation from the Relay Rack there is Less Than 0.1°C Temperature Variation on the Undulator Jaws.

• These Tests were Conducted Under Worst-Case Conditions with No 0.43 m/sec Tunnel Air Flow Along the Undulator. In Actual Operation with Tunnel Air Flow Present the Effects of Relay Rack Heat Dissipation Would be Even Less.

• The K-Value of the Magnets in the Undulator Will be Unchanged as a Result of the Heat Dissipation from the Relay Rack Relative to Fluctuations in Tunnel Air Temperature.
