Helium cryogenics: safety relief valves for LHC project.

Author(s) : COULOMBEL A.

Summary

The paper details the means and testing procedures used to design safety relief valves (quench phenomenon) operating at very low temperature (liquid helium). Tests carried out in helium cryostats (1.8 K) lead to the validation of materials, valve performances (operating time, thermal loses) and flow characteristics during open and closed phases.
