New long-term historical data recording and failure analysis system for the CERN cryoplants.

Author(s) : BARTH K., BAUD R., DAUVERGNE J. P., et al.

Summary

CERN uses several liquid helium cryoplants (total of 21) for cooling large variety of superconducting devices namely: accelerating cavities, magnets for accelerators and particle detectors. The cryoplants are remotely operated from several control rooms using industrial standard supervision systems, which allows the instant display of all plant data and the trends, over several days, for the most important signals. The monitoring of the cryoplant performance during transient conditions and normal operation over several months asks for a long-term recording of all plant parameters. A historical data recording system has been developed. A novel tool was developed for debugging causes of plant failures by comparing selected reference data with the simultaneous evolution of all plant data.
