Helium cryogenics and energy efficiency : the LHC experience in CERN.
Cryogénie hélium et efficacité énergétique : l'expérience du LHC au CERN.

Type of article: Article
Summary
Superconductivity and associated helium cryogenics have become key technologies for large research infrastructures in physics, and particularly particle accelerators. The thermodynamic penalty for operating at low temperatures requires these cryogenic systems to be highly energy efficient in managing heat loads, distributing cryogenic fluids and cooling. This is achieved thanks to an integrated approach covering all phases of the project, from early design to operation, as illustrated by the case of the LHC at CERN. Potential paths of development for future projects are briefly discussed.
