During the commissioning of the new Multipole Injection Kicker (MIK) pulsed magnet at SOLEIL synchrotron, an anomalously high heating of the MIK chamber and flanges was found. To better manage the heat load, fans directed toward the MIK were added to improve the air-cooling flow. This allowed the nominal current to be reached in all operation modes while keeping reasonable temperatures on the MIK. Post-installation investigations subsequently showed that the initial estimate of the maximal heat load was in agreement with the measured temperature in several operation modes both with and without the additional fans. In this article, we present the complete study, starting from the impedance calculation to thermal simulations, and comparison with the measured data with beam.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
