Auxiliary Cryogenic Systems and Components (2008)

This course includes comprehensive coverage of auxiliary cryogenic systems and components. Focuses on some of the special assemblies required in large-scale liquid helium systems with interface to devices being cooled. Design, procurement and operational experience is also discussed.

Instructors

Tom Peterson

Peterson came to Fermilab in August 1976, working on the design of the Tevatron, especially cryogenics and magnet work. His projects included the reciprocating helium expansion engines in the Tevatron’s cryogenic system, helping commission and operate its cryogenic system during the 1980s, and working on the cooling system for the DZero liquid-argon calorimeter. Peterson also worked on cryogenics for the magnet test facility, where staff tested various prototype magnets for the Superconducting Super Collider as well as various types of Tevatron magnets.
