Centrifugal Pumps for the Superconducting Super Collider
Abstract The current refrigeration system design for the SSC consists of multiple helium refrigerators and liquefiers, each servicing sectors of the SSC which are approximately 8.25 km in length. Within each cryogenic refrigeration sector, there are various requirements for the distribution of liquid and gaseous helium. The machines which are to provide this distributive function must be robust and highly reliable because of the expense associated with system downtime. This paper presents the preliminary design of a centrifugal pump for the SSC refrigeration system. Operational and performance specifications are defined for the pumps based on SSC requirements. Trades between bearing support systems are reviewed and a design configuration is recommended. Performance models for the pumps are presented together with a discussion of how these models may be used in system studies.
