1 Scope
This document describes the technical requirements and design for the 1.3 GHz cryomodules for
LCLS-II.

2 Introduction
The LCLS-II main linac cryomodule is based on the existing XFEL design, including TESLA-style
superconducting accelerating cavities with modifications to accommodate CW operation and LCLS-II
beam parameters. Cryomodules contain superconducting cavities together with cryogenic distribution
lines and thermal shielding, and are assembled in a small number of strings without breaks between
individual cryomodules. At the downstream end of each 1.3 GHz cryomodule are focusing and steering
magnets and a beam position monitor. Beam line higher-order-mode (HOM) absorbers are located in
the cold sections between cryomodules. The cavity tuners, HOM couplers, and fundamental power
couplers are also developed from existing designs. Cryogenic transfer lines are required only where
bypasses for warm sections of the linac must be provided.
The 1.3 GHz cryomodules contain eight RF cavities each. Active control of the cavity resonant
frequency is provided by an end-lever tuner with motor and piezo-driven components. Each RF cavity is
independently powered through a fundamental power coupler with variable Qext connected via air-filled
waveguide to a solid state amplifier at 1.3 GHz.
Cryogenic circuits provide 2 K liquid helium to the cavities with a valve for liquid supply in each
cryomodule. The cryostat includes a second valve and piping for cool-down of cavities in an individual
cryomodule, a nominally 5 K thermal intercept circuit, and a nominally 45 K thermal radiation shield and
thermal intercept circuit. Cryogenic heat load is dominated by dynamic RF heating of approximately 10
W per cavity. Figure 1 illustrates the cryomodule cross-section and cryogenic circuit labels. Figure 2
shows the cryomodule flow scheme. Figure 3 illustrates the cryomodule mechanical assembly.

previous TESLA-style cryomodule designs and some of which are new developments for LCLS-II and
CW operation. The table below lists major cryomodule features or components, notes about each, and

7.3 Cavity alignment requirements relative to external reference


Cavity lateral and vertical alignment requirements are 0.5 mm (RMS). Cavity positions relative to
fiducials on the vacuum vessel are set during assembly with no requirement for later internal
adjustment of cavity position within the cryomodule after assembly. Alignment needs to be maintained
with thermal and pressure cycling. (Return to position within 0.5 mm RMS tolerance.) Final alignment
is of the vacuum vessel assembly by means of the external fiducials which were referenced to the
cavity string. The table below summarizes approximate allocation of alignment tolerances, illustrating
that for each source of misalignment, due to their additive nature, tolerances must be tighter than the
overall requirement.

8 Cryomodule vacuum design and vacuum vessel

Vacuum vessel design is described in detail in "Fermilab Engineering Specification, LCLS-II


Cryomodule Vacuum Vessel" [ref 16]. A major new feature is access ports for the tuners, particularly
with the goal in mind of access to the piezo tuners. A mock-up verifies the feasibility of access via the
ports.

The insulating vacuum is protected from over pressurization by means of a spring-loaded lift plate. A
single worst case piping rupture internal to the insulating vacuum was analyzed to determine lift plate
size. Provisions are provided to allow free passage of the helium out past thermal shield and MLI to the
lift plate.

have no thermal radiation shield at this temperature level.


The highest temperature level will be helium in the range
35 K to 55 K. This temperature level provides not only
conductive thermal intercepts but also a thermal radiation
shield. There will be no liquid nitrogen in the LCLS-II
tunnel. However, for test purposes in various test cryostats
45 K temperature level 3, 5, 6
and facilities, the "45 K" thermal shield may be cooled with
liquid nitrogen at approximately 80 K. This higher
temperature within the test facilities will have some impact
on thermal measurements relative to the 45 K tunnel
condition, which will be assessed.
The thermal shield is designed such that introduction of
cold (process temperature) helium into the thermal shield
piping when the thermal shield is warm, resulting in a very
fast cool-down, does not damage the thermal shield or
45 K thermal shield 13, 14
other parts of the cryomodule. (The issues are warping
and associated forces, thermal stresses, etc.) Thermal
shield trace piping is arranged such that counterflow heat
transfer does not inhibit cool-down of the thermal shield.
Heat loads are summarized in “Cryomodule Heat Load” [ref
5], which also in turn lists the many sources of information
Cryomodule heat loads for heat loads and thermal analyses. Special 5
considerations for the high heat loads at 2 K with CW
operation are described in section 8.2 of this document.
Evacuated multi-layer insulation (MLI) is used within the
cryomodule on the thermal radiation shield, piping, and
helium vessels. MLI on colder piping and vessels under
MLI the thermal radiation shield, while not very effective in 3
terms of reducing overall heat load, greatly reduces boiloff
rates from loss of vacuum incidents, in turn reducing
emergency venting pipe and valve size requirements.
Each helium vessel includes an electric heater for 2 K flow
and pressure control. In order to avoid cold feed-throughs
from superfluid helium to insulating vacuum, these heaters
are installed on the outsides of the helium vessels. The
presence of a steady-state pressure drop results in a
pressure change at the cryomodule with a change in flow
Electric heaters 26
rate (e.g. due to heat load change or liquid level control
valve position change), even with constant cold compressor
inlet pressure (perfect cryoplant pressure regulation).
Heaters distributed within the cryomodules are required to
compensate for heat load changes so as to control
subsequent flow and pressure changes.
Cables are thermally intercepted at the 45 K level. Special
attention is given to thermal intercepting of the piezo
Tuner actuator wires and housing so as to assure piezo 3, 7
temperatures remain below 80 K, to improve lifetime and
performance.

RF power input coupler Input coupler thermal intercepts are provided at 5 K and at 3, 11
45 K. Estimated input coupler heat loads (per coupler) are

0.09 W at 2 K, 0.41 W at 5 K, and 14.00 W at 45 K.

Valves appropriate for low temperature helium cryogenic


service with thermal intercepts at the 45 K level and
bellows stem seals are used. Valves are sized and have
Cryogenic valves control characteristics based on the anticipated operating 23
flow rates with allowance for worst-case conditions such as
cool-down, warm-up, or recovery from some other upset
condition.

9.2 Design for large 2 K heat transport and helium flow

Heat from the outside surface of the niobium RF cavity, and heat entering via conduction from the
beam pipe at the RF cavity ends, is carried through stagnant saturated Helium II to the liquid helium
surface in the 2-phase pipe via superfluid heat transport. For heat transport through saturated
superfluid helium around 2.0 Kelvin, 1 Watt/sq.cm. is a conservative rule for a vertical pipe [refs 27, 28].
The critical heat flux for a non-vertical pipe connection from the helium vessel to the 2-phase pipe may
be considerably less than 1 Watt/sq.cm. Configurations other than vertical require analysis to verify
that the anticipated heat flux is less than the critical heat flux. Also, temperatures above 2.0 K result in
a lower critical heat flux due to reduced superfluid heat transport. For LCLS-II, these considerations
have resulted in our increasing the inner diameter of the nozzle (or “chimney”) from the helium vessel to
the 2-phase pipe from 55 mm (the TESLA/XFEL size) to 95 mm.

Figure 5. Heat transport path from input coupler and beam tube region to 2 K helium

End flange to cavity including support tabs must have sufficient helium cross-sectional area to carry
heat from the cavity ends and beam tube into the bulk helium in the helium vessel (see Figure 5).

Evaporation from the surface of the saturated helium liquid results in vapor flow within the 2-phase pipe
over the liquid surface to an exit port connecting to the HGRP. Studies done at CEA Grenoble for
CERN’s LHC magnet cooling [reference 29] provided the result that a 5 meters/sec vapor "speed limit"
over liquid is a conservative “rule of thumb” not to entrain liquid droplets into the vapor. For LCLS-II,
the closure of each 2-phase pipe in each cryomodule, limiting the 2-phase pipe vapor flow to that
generated by one cryomodule, keeps the vapor flow rate quite low, less than 2 meters/sec.
Nevertheless, the 0.5% slope (Figure 6) combined with the fact that the connecting nozzle from the
helium vessel is 100 mm OD results in a 100 mm OD 2-phase pipe, larger than the 69 mm for XFEL.
The result is that the pressure drop within the 2-phase pipe is negligibly small. (See Figure 7.)

Figure 7. Pressure drop and vapor velocity in 2-phase pipe

9.3 Pressure drop analyses

Pressure drops within and through the cryomodule are analyzed in combination with the helium
distribution system. Pipe are sized for the worst case among steady-state, peak flow rates, upset, cool-
down, warm-up, and venting and conditions. Pressure drops must be analyzed for each helium flow
path to ensure that steady-state operation matches system design and that non-steady conditions
(cool-down, emergency venting, warm-up) are properly handled. Input variables for these analyses
include line size, allowable temperature rise, allowable pressure drop, and heat load. (Temperature
rise and heat load determine mass flow for supercritical pressure helium or helium gas in the thermal
intercept pipes and 2 K supply pipe.)

For the HGRP, pressure drop is particularly important and limited, since this pressure drop determines
the helium temperature at the helium vessel, hence RF cavity temperature. We design for a pressure
drop < 10% of total pressure in normal operation.

Maximum allowable pressure for emergency venting, combined with distances to relief devices may
also influence line sizes. Helium piping and vessels vent into the adjacent cryomodules and out to the
distribution system, allowing placement of all process relief valves in the distribution system.

Loss of vacuum venting: pressure in the helium vessel of the dressed cavity less than the cold
maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of the helium vessel and dressed cavity. Venting path
includes nozzle from helium vessel, 2-phase pipe, may include gas return pipe, and also includes any
external vent lines. Worst-case heat flux to liquid helium temperature metal surfaces with loss of
vacuum to air is assumed to be 4.0 W/cm2. Worst-case heat flux to liquid helium temperature surfaces
covered by at least 5 layers of multi-layer insulation (MLI) is assumed to be 0.6 W/cm2.

Finally, we match cryomodule and cryogenic distribution system design to the cryogenic plant in terms
of providing flow rates, temperatures, and pressures consistent with cryogenic plant requirements.

9.5 Instrumentation
The cryomodule must be instrumented with liquid level probe (or probes) for the 2-phase helium II
system, thermometry for cool-down and monitoring of critical input coupler, HOM coupler, and current
lead temperatures, and other instrumentation as listed in "Fermilab Engineering Specification, LCLS-II
Cryomodule Interfaces" (ED-0002307, reference 17).

9.6 Cryomodule test requirements. The cryomodule will be tested before installation in the linac.
Tests will check the following:

 Leak and pressure tests for quality assurance and FESHM compliance.

 Temperature profiles

 Approximate heat loads

 RF cavity performance

 Tuner performance

 Instrumentation

9.7 Pressure stability at the 2 K level

It is possible to generate pressure pulses within a cryomodule, for example via heat input from the
warm end of a closed pipe. Hence we have a requirement to avoid “dead-headed” lines which can
warm up, for example, the line terminating at the closed cool-down valve after it is closed. To avoid a
warm valve providing such a warm termination on the closed pipe, one recommended solution is to
locate the valve lower than the supply pipe such that cold helium sits on the valve. This is implemented
for the LCLS-II cryomodule valves.

10 Cryomodule helium inventory

Table 12. Cryomodule line sizes, helium conditions, and helium inventory

Cryomodule total inventory is about 13,500 liquid liters equivalent of helium.

11 What else?
There are no doubt other design constraints and features to add to this document. I will add to this
draft.
