Overall description
• The turbomolecular pumps (TMPs) are as close as possible to each cryostat.
• The TMPs are outside the PRY, protected from magnetic fields.• The TMPs are backed by a shared backing manifold system.• DN100 (CF) pipework connect them with the cryostats.• The backing line pipework is DN100 (LF).• There are two backing pumps, one of which will be running
whilst the other is spare. Each pump contains a 500m3/hr ROOTS backed by an 80m3/hr dry iDQ pump.
• The vacuum system will be fully automated with in-built safety via interlocks.

Along the South side of the cryostats
The branch with gate-valve to the North side at the EMR/KL position.
The TMP rigs will be placed on the aluminium plates adjacent to the innermost PRY legs.

The TMP rigs and the controls rack have been tested together at Daresbury. The rigs are temporarily in the NW corner of Hall, ready for the system to be tested on the local EPICS controls software, before being placed in their correct positions: two along the South side
of cryostats; and one on the North side.

ODH
• There will be an ODH system (supplied by Crowcon)
• Audible warning inside Hall• Warning lights at entrance to Hall• Required for filling operations with liquid N
and liquid He• Required for quenches (each SS contains 300
litres of liquid He, FC contains 20 litres)
