Prototype sector

Ian Wilmut Dec 2012

What we didn’t include in the proposal...

• A fully functioning electrical prototype of staves via services to DAQ and plant, in a partial structure.

• But we do have 90% or the parts for such a prototype in the programme (even when it is descoped).

• Tim has asked me to talk aout what this object might be, and what WP4 would need to provide.

Schematically

.

.

Outer Cylinder/Thermal enclosure AKA a big foam box

DAQ (Opto and DCS)

POWER SUPPLIES

Recirculating CO2 Plant

1 service modulen staves (n~7)

Stave insertion frame

But we would need to make compromises...

Blow off CO2 plant

What I would like to be able to do

• Operate a number of fully serviced staves in the correct positions – with there correct spacing to their neighbours.

• Staves to be inserted using correct process• Staves to be serviced by service module • “outer cylinder box ” is representative of the

environment.• Cooling is manifold CO2 – so we can test

manifolding and pressure drops/ballencing

What WP4 needs to do• Ahead of time

– Understand what we would like to get out of process– Understand what baseline choices we would make– Have a sketch design of how we could do this

• WP4 items that are not explicitly in programme– “outer cylinder”– Compressed service module

• Efforts we would need to provide– Build test setup– Install staves– Connect to service module– Willingness to move staves– Provide and drive cooling– Build staves– .– .
