Talk Overview
• Refurbish oil systems• Upgrade MKP switches (thyratron type)• New MKDV generators (and controls)• Eradicate horn pulser ignitron switches
Refurbish oil systems• Concerns CPS systems, with 2 objectives:
• Improve safety by replacing mineral oil (DIALA) by ESTER oil• Improve system reliability by renovating old system
• Status:• Done in MTE, PSB EK/TK, AD horn, LEIR, ISOLDE• On-going in CT, AD / ELENA, Lab.867• Still to be done in PS TIK and FAK

Upgrade MKP switches (thyratron type)
• CX1171B under-dimensioned for the pulse idt• CX2503 « newly » developped for MKI features
higher idt, and very large gas reservoir. • CX2503 also used in LHC-MKI and SPS-MKE.
• Already started on Dump switches (1 in operation + 1 spare, 9 remaining)• 8 Main switches to be treated during the
100 ns LIU project (full switch to be redesigned for 2 thyratrons)

• Consists in replacing old type CX1171B by new CX2503 :
New MKDV generators and controls• Redesigned 2 W proto PFN ready for
switch test in Lab.867• “Quad-stack” GTO switch design
well advanced start to build a proto in 2015
• Regular strategy meetings EC-FPS on-going to validate key elements and functionalities
• To be integrated in SPS-LIU ? • Split EC / FPS budget

Eradicate horn pulser ignitron switches
• Ignitron switches are a safety issue(ref. BA3 fire in 1997 : 10MCHF cleaning, 10 weeks lost for operation)
• Technically easy to replace +/- copy of MKDH GTO switch
• Need full cleaning of cubicles Erosion evidence found in test cubicle
• Need new trigger system ?
