04/21/23 Long Bo FT and Flanges 1
Requested Design Changes from 4/4/2012
04/21/23 Long Bo FT and Flanges 2
Based on Comments and Requirements from the April 4 presentation:
1.Increase the distance between HV Feed and TPC
1.Increase the distance between central purity monitor and TPC / HV feed
2.Raise the HV FT flange above the insulation atop the big 33 ½”) flange
to diminish icing danger
Implementation of new Design Requirements
04/21/23 Long Bo FT and Flanges 3
Move the TPC away from the Tank Center.This frees up radial space for the purity monitor and
the HV Feed
Raise the TPC to the same elevation as the central purity monitor,
maintaining the same minimum LAr depth.

Additional Design Features: Bubbles

Analyze bubble paths and Bubble Size Control
Add a tight fitting seal at the bottom of the PE sleeve. It will sea when cold
Conical bottom end of the PE sleeve to prevent bubble aggregation
Venting of the space surrounding the 7/8” center tube to its inside
Venting the 7/8 tube inside through tiny holes in the contact cup at the bottom. Hole size 0.2 mm requires 2 cm LAr head; we will use 0.5 mm or larger.

Additional Design Features: Purging
04/21/23 Long Bo FT and Flanges 9
Purge the space surrounding the PE sleeve into the GAr space at the top.
Purge the GAr space near the top into an external purge line
Purge the GAr space near the TPC Signal Feedthrough into an external purge line
New Feedthrough DesignNew Features:
1.Top Flange raised above the top insulation2.Bubble stop insert at bottom of PE Sleeve (See later slide)3.Inverted cup/ spring contact arrangement (see later slide)4.Extended to great depth to avoid having an insulated support5.Bubble and purge management (see later slide)

Additional Design Features: HV Contact Area
04/21/23 Long Bo FT and Flanges 11
In order to minimize the TPC assembly diameter, thus maximizing the stand-off distances of HV FT and Purity monitor,
We invert the usual arrangement:
The spring loaded finger is attached to the TPC cathode HV tubing, while the (inverted) cup is welded to the HV FT center tube.
This change turns out useful and effective for bubble control (see previous slide)

Additional Design Features: Windows
04/21/23 Long Bo FT and Flanges 13
We will have two windows, both existing:
An 8” CF window and a 6” CF window.These will help during HV FT installation
