ATLAS Upgrade ID Barrel: Services around ‘outer cylinder’

TJF 24.02.09 updated 12.03.09

According to the drawing ‘Preparation outer cylinder volume reservation’(C.Bault 1.07.08), the inner surface of the outer cylinder is at R1033.Given this radius, it is possible to accommodate a continuous layer of coolingpipes from the SCT barrel with unmanifolded alternating exhaust and input pipesor grouped exhaust/input pipes in a single layer IF the number of staves is stillno more than the ‘original’ 28, 36, 44, 56 and 72 ie 236 (total for one side, with each stave having one input and one output pipe.

Although cooling pipes in this layout would not occupy more than 10mm in R,the structure/s that support them and protect them from being bashed duringInstallation (eg a SERVICES MODULE) would have to be substantial andprobably take up an additional 20mm in R without including possible insulation.If power cables are used (rather than power tapes), it is possible that they couldfit into another 10mm envelope in R, if evenly spaced and not bunched.

The space envelope allowed for on the drawing between the inner surface ofthe ‘outer cylinder’ is 63mm (R1033 – R970). This is insufficient for thecombination of services from barrel, pixel discs 1-3 and end-cap discs 4-8.

IF SERVICES MODULES WERE USED, HOW WOULD THEY BE INSTALLED?

IS THIS PROCESS USING SERVICES MODULES FEASIBLE?

Each services module contains a few of each type of services, some rigid and formedsuch as cooling pipes and some very fragile such as readout micro cables or fibres.The filled services module would be an unwieldy and heavy object to move aboutwith metal edges a hazard to thin cables. It could also bend and twist over its length. There would be services sets with ends of different lengths – very difficult to handle,first when assembling on a jig and then when installing and connecting, even if onlytransporting from one part of the cleanroom to another.Some services would have to be embedded under others when packing the services module so that inspection would be difficult if such a cable or pipe failedduring testing in situ after connection.Long pipe lengths inside the Services Module and extending to end barrel connectionswould certainly place stress on the barrel staves and would thus require substantialbracketry on the barrel end to take the stress off the stave structure. Power cablesinside sleeving would place even more stress on barrel end connectors and the stave.How strong does the stave with integral connectors have to be at the barrel end? Very!As we observed on the SCT barrel, a ‘spider’ of 5 or 6 cooling exhaust pipes, evenwith bellows to allow flexibility, was difficult to connect up to the barrel. In the endbellows could not be used and each exhaust pipe was connected up separately aswere the input pipes. A 32 way layout in phi would mean that Services Modules would take up more spaceif they are in the form of channels or boxes with ‘lids’.

WHAT TO DO NEXT?Assume all new services from ID out to PP2 but probably best to also assumesame or very similar position in phi to old services iebased around 45 degs for cooling with readout either side of this and powercables spaced approx. evenly in quadrants allowing space for cooling and(im)possibly big opto boards.

Assume a SINGLE baseline LAYOUT for ID which may well change many times!

A 32 way layout still means there would be more than 7 staves served by oneServices Module which is a lot, probably 6 too many!POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:Connect up each type of service separately, finishing and testing one type before starting another. Bunch small sets of the same type which could be packed in a small ‘module’ or channel with others. Cooling could be bunched but not packed and could occupy dedicated space envelopes without intertwining with cables.

CONCLUSION:Probably unfeasible as an ‘all services module’ given only limited access:handling and connecting a bunch of services all of one type is difficult enough without combining several types. Cooling pipes with connectors would be very difficult to control when in a mixed bunch and would obstruct access to other connectors. The ID barrel would have to be rotated for each SM installation.

MAPPING for BARREL services based on the following layout for ONE end:ONE QUADRANT eg side A , QUADRANT A1 with cooling centred on 45 degs.

POWER CABLES: one stave, (half length of barrel) in one sleeved bunch.59 sleeved bunches from one quadrant, going to 20 ‘power services modules’arranged in 4 sets of 5 either side of COOLING centred on 45 degs andREADOUT centred on 22.5 degs

READOUT CABLES or FIBRES: one stave, (half length of barrel) in one sleeved bunch.59 sleeved bunches from one quadrant, going to 4 ‘R/O services modules’arranged in 2 sets of 30 either side of COOLING centres on 22.5 degs. NB this is assuming ‘opto’ board is mounted somewhere on the stave, ratherthan being remote from the detector. IF remote then distribution of cables willneed to be spaced out rather than bunched.

OUTPUT COOLING: one stave, (half length of barrel), one pipe with no manifolding. ie 59 pipes directed to 2 layered bunch centred at 45 degs

INPUT COOLING: one stave, (half length of barrel), one pipe with no manifolding. ie 59 pipes directed to 2 layered bunch centred at 45 degs either side of output cooling
